Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sermon, Preached at the Jesuits' Church, on the 4th of May, 1851: On Behalf of the Convent of Our Lady of Charity of the "Good Shepherd," Hammersmith
You are aware, my dear Brethren, tuat I am about to appeal to your kind and charitable feelings on behalf of an institution of mercy which bears this very title of the Good Shepherd, one which in ancient times did the picture, so in ours does the living Copy represent to us as closely as possible our Lord's charity towards the frail and the offending. It seems to me that God is about to bless my work, for it was not until I was thinking in what way I could best address you, that I found in the gospel of the day the parable of the Good Shepherd, which thus seemed pointed out as the one by which your feelings might be best prepared to meet my wishes and second my imperfect endeavours. It will, therefore, be on this aspect of the life of your Saviour as the Good Shep herd, that I will address you, and I am sure that you will all be anxious to concur in any work which can make you partakers of that form of mercy which He has so abundantly exhibited towards each of us.
