Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of Religious Life The chief object for which this work has been written is to furnish those who wish to lead a solidly devout life in the Ecclesiastical, in the Religious, or in the Secular State, with a manual or text-book containing, in as compendious a form as possible, the 'principles' upon which such a life must be built. The sources whence materials for an undertaking of this kind may be drawn are various and numerous; but out of the many at my disposal, two are especially deserving of mention, inasmuch as it has been by the doctrine which I have learnt from them, that I have been guided in much that has been treated of in this book. The first of these are the works of Cassian, to which, as a child of St. Benedict, I felt myself drawn as it were by instinct; for, it was from the world-famed 'Conferences' of this learned ascetic that our holy Father drew much of that spiritual lore which is so conspicuous in the various enactments of his Rule, and to the pages of which he refers his children, for those sublime lessons of spiritual wisdom, which will lead them to the topmost height of Christian perfection. Cassian's teaching, save upon the question of divine grace, is unexceptionally good. His deficiency upon this point may be satisfactorily accounted for, if we bear in mind that in his day various questions which arise out of this most intricate subject had not been thoroughly examined into and set at rest for ever by the infallible decision of the Church. The second is the 'Theologia Mystica' of Father Dominick Schram, O.S.B., in which that erudite Religious has bequeathed to us valuable treasures of Christian asceticism arranged with scientific accuracy, and stored away with scholastic neatness and precision. The plan of which I have made use for reducing to order the mass of material which presented itself to my hands, is a very simple one.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Fundamentals of the Religious State After three hundred years' suppression, the Religious Life in the Anglican Communion was revived now nearly three-quarters of a century ago. During this period it has produced, in one form or another, a wealth of literature, most of it being of a devotional character. Although the principles of the Life have been assiduously studied by men and women of learn ing and ability, no book has yet been written which can be freely put as a text-book into the hands of aspirants and others desiring to know what are the technical principles of the Religious State. It is with no little hesitation that the present author offers this book to his Religious and clerical brethren. A work of this kind should be prepared by one of leisure and learning, not by a busy mission priest who has had neither time nor freedom to acquire the scholarship that should be brought to bear upon such a subject.

Book Description
Excerpt from Some Principles and Practices, of the Spiritual Life Must begin as they are, with their many sins and imperfections and ignorances, and work on towards an end that becomes clearer as they advance, and yet ever more difficult of attain ment. Indeed, they have to work towards an end which at first they cannot see, for only as the eye of the soul becomes purified does it get to see clearly what holiness means, and how imperfect were its first conceptions of it. It is a good thing, therefore, to concentrate our efforts, to be definite in our aim, to set before ourselves clearly some one purpose, some special virtue to strive after, upon the attainment of which we shall have advanced considerably towards holi ness of life.

He considers himself favored to be able to recommend it most earnestly. The Vicar-General de Ville, of Lyons, pronounces it to be the very best book that can be offered to religious for their instruction. The German translation was very favorably received. Many religious wrote to the translator to express their sincere gratitude for having published it in German. This translation is from the German edition. This book commences: "YOU have opened your heart to the voice of our most beloved Saviour, who, in His goodness and mercy, has called you to the religious life. You have courageously followed this call and have overcome all the difficulties and obstacles in your way. Up to the present you have performed all your religious duties generously, zealously, and joyously, but remember that this is not sufficient; you must persevere. If you grow lax in the observance of your rules and in your religious duties, you expose yourself to the gravest danger, and, even more justly than the man in the Gospel, to the reproach of having laid the foundation of a magnificent structure, but of not having finished it. "Perseverance completes the work; and he who perseveres unto the end shall be crowned."

Father Cotel. These qualities have made his book so popular in France that it has passed through several editions and won for it unstinted praise from most competent judges.
