The Sisters of the Visitation of Wilmington, Del., have conferred a
great benefit on the Catholics of all English speaking countries by
translating the following beautiful meditations, meditations so
full of lively faith and of sweet unction, as to deeply impress all
who make use of them. The late Bishop Becker of Savannah, who had
previously filled the See of Wilmington, greatly encouraged the
Sisters in their labor of love, and, after perusing their
translation, wrote under date of September 12th, 1895, the
following words of appreciation: "These very thoughtful meditations
suit every believer. Their beauty is incomparable, for they are
simplicity itself. We have been both edified and instructed whilst
merely reading the translation. It seems to be correct, and is
given in terse English. We highly commend the work, and deem it
worthy of approbation." The translators say that their translation
has been a work of love, having the sanction of obedience. They
humbly hope that it will receive the blessing of God and be "a
love-lighted torch" to guide many souls heaven- - ward, bringing to
them, as it did to the translators, peace and consolation. rrhese
meditations are well calculated to benefit not only ecclesiastics
and religious, but also the pious laity. The editor, in order to
adapt the work to the wants and devotions of our time and country,
has added the following meditations, taken principally from the
Meditations of Father Bronchairn, C. SS. R. - Feast of the Sacred
Heart of Jesus; - for the first Friday of every month, - for the
feasts of St. Francis Xavier, St. Paul of the Cross, St. Catharine
of Siena, St. Philip Neri, St. Antony of Padua, Our Lady of
Perpetual Help, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, St.
Vincent de Paul, St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, St. Jane Frances
de Chantal, Holy Name of Mary, the Holy Rosary, and St. Stanislaus
Kostka. Each page of this work has been hand inspected prior to
publication for completeness. Other publishers merely scan and
reprint errors and all, and possibly even missing pages.
