This work begins with the dignity of the family and proceeds to the
dignity of man and woman. This is followed by the dignity of the
Christian child and then proceeds to discuss the holy sacrament of
Marriage. This work is a must read fro anyone entering the holy
state of Matrimony, as it details the rights and responsibilities
of Christian parents. Consider this on the dignity of the Christian
child: "A foreigner, who has come to the United States and wishes
to enjoy the rights and privileges of an American citizen, has to
appear in open court and declare his intention of becoming a
citizen of the United States. If he then continues to reside, for
five years, within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the
grand llepublic, and conducts himself, during that time, as a man
of good moral character, is attached to the principles of the
Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good
order and happiness of the same, he receives his naturalization
papers as a citizen of the Union, after having declared on oath, in
open court, that he will support the Constitution of the United
States, and that he does absolutely and entirely renounce and
abjure all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign prince,
potentate, or state sovereignty whatsoever, and particularly to the
government of the country to which he was formerly subject.
"Christian parents your children, too, have become, on similar
conditions, citizens of the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven.
There are two great kingdoms in this world-the kingdom of Jesus
Christ and of Satan. The kingdom of Jesus Christ is the Roman
Catholic Church. In his kingdom alone are found true peace and
happiness, the forgiveness of sins, the means to obtain the grace
of God and to lead a virtuous life. To remain a faithful citizen
and subject of this kingdom, is to be forever a citizen of God's
kingdom in heaven. The kingdom of Satan in this world is that
corrupt body composed of three foul and abominable members: "The
concupiscence of the flesh, the concupiscence of the eyes, and of
the pride of life." One day our dear Saviour permitted Satan "to
tako him up into a high mountain, and to show him his kingdom of
this world and the glory of it,"-that is, the riches, the honors,
and the sinful pleasures of the flesh; and Satan said to him: "All
this I will give thee, if, falling down, thou wilt adore me." What
Satan here promised to our Saviour, he promises to every one who
wishes to follow him. To remain a faithful subject of Satan's
kingdom, is to be forever his subject in the torments of hell. Now,
Christian parents Your children were born into this world as
citizens and subjects of Satan. You knew this, and therefore you
felt that something was wanting to fill up the measure of your
happiness at their birth. It was not the subject of Satan, but the
subject of Jesus Christ, that you wished to press to your heart.
Your children were therefore taken from the cradle, and in the
midst of the rejoicings of the whole family, in the arms of a
godfather and of a godmother who were to lend to them their heart
and tongue; they were taken, as it were, to the open court of
Christ's kingdom on earth, that is, to the en trance of the house
of God, humbly begging the Church to admit them to become her
children, subjects of Jesus Christ, and citizens of his kingdom.
