The Priest of To-Day: His Ideals and His Duties

Rev Thomas O'Donnell CM

4.9/5 (26810 ratings)

Description:Originally published a century ago, the advice in this book is appropriate for priests of today. THE principles that should govern the clerical life are given in Sacred Scripture, in the decrees of Councils, and in the writings of eminent ecclesiastics. In substance, they are the same in every century; only in their application do they differ. A priest is always and everywhere the ambassador of Christ, but he is also the child of his age and the citizen of his native or his adopted country. Hence the priest of to-day, while seeking God's Kingdom in the first place, should in all things lawful accommodate himself to the temper of the modem world, and should act in sympathy with the people whom he desires to serve. The present book is an attempt to trace in broad outline a rule of life for the young missionaries of All Hallows, to place before them the ideals and duties that should claim their allegiance. It makes no pretence to originality, but appeals for all its teaching to recognized authorities, especially to those of our own time and of English-speaking countries. In concluding this prefatory note, the writer desires to express his indebtedness to two friends-Dr. O'Mahony and Father Michael Flynn, C.M.-for many practical hints, and for their kindness in revising the proof-sheets.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
