Bishop Hedley writes: "The "Following of Christ," the "Spiritual
Combat," the "Devout Life" of St. Francis de Sales, and other books
of a like nature, are at once a guide to virtue, an encouragement
to prayer, and an influence drawing the heart daily nearer to God.
The reading of Holy Scripture, of the sermons and conferences of
distinguished preachers, and of the penetrating devotional books in
which our language is by no means deficient, is adapted to sanctify
the house, and to keep out of it, to a greater or less degree, that
flood of objectionable printed matter which overflows the land at
the present moment. Priests and laity cannot do more for souls than
to encourage by every means in their power good and cheap Catholic
literature instruction, devotion, tales, and periodicals and to
bring it within the reach of every class of the faith ful. All
read; they must read, and they will read. Let us strive to check
the evils of bad reading by the dissemination of that which is
good." This Bishop from the nineteenth century wrote to his flock
many good instructions, which are also applicable today. Let us
consider another good quote from this wonderful book: "Now love
consists of four principal acts;-To prefer God before all things;
to dedicate to Him all we have and are; to detest all that opposes
Him; and to do His will in all things." St. Alphonsus writes: "a
single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a
monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of
Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our lips the cry of the
Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals ' (Matthew 18:7).
Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in
novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of
immodesty " We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of
good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the
market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This book is a
photographic reprint of the original The original has been
inspected and many imperfections in the existing copy have been
corrected. At Saint Pius X Press our goal is to remain faithful to
the original in both photographic reproductions and in textual
reproductions that are reprinted. Photographic reproductions are
given a page by page inspection, whereas textual reproductions are
proofread to correct any errors in reproduction.
