Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Grace, Vol. 2: Six Lenten Discourses Preached, in the Parish Church of Saint Martin's at Freiburg
The present sermons were preached by me during the Lent of 1889. They have a little history. An old Anglican friend of mine, the Reverend Mr. Green, who was among my hearers kept insisting that I should have them published. In my own judgment however, they contained too little that was new or original to be worthy of publication. When I finally did agree to print them, the first four sermons had disappeared and, with the best will in the world, I could not succeed in discovering them. It was only after an interval of eighteen years that I found them in a package of other mss. That had already been published.
On account of the very delicate nature of the theological matters discussed, I put them in the hands of a scholarly and pious theologian, the Capuchin, Father Engelbert, who had assisted me in my pastoral duties and who consented to be judge and critic of the sermons. He found very little in them that needed correction, and strongly counseled publication, in view of their very practical nature.
