A Spiritual Retreat (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Spiritual Retreat<br><br>Although the author has primarily in view the needs of men and women dedicated to the service of God in the cloister, he hopes that the Spiritual Retreat will find favour with that large class of Catholics in the outside world who aim at reproducing in themselves the cloister virtues - Humility, Docility, Patience, Generosity, Fortitude, and Self-Sacrifice. Inasmuch as he frequently exhorts Religious to emulate the strenuousness of those who have to battle with the world, so he would fain invite the latter to share in the peace enjoyed by those who give themselves altogether to God's service.<br><br>A general index has been provided, which he anticipates will render the volume useful for spiritual reading at all times, but more especially during the holy season of Pentecost.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
