The object has been to sum up the points of doctrine and to
condense them in such a manner that the preacher may go over them
all, in the pulpit, within the space of four years at most, as the
spiritual well-being of his congregation may require; to avail
myself of the assistance of the most accredited Catechists, such as
Noel, Cambournac, Guillois, Couturier, Guillet, Canisius,
Bressenvido, Reinerie, etc., and to support myself on the
contemporary theology of Gousset and Gury; to set forth the truths
and to give the practical details with simplicity, clearness, and
method, in order to put them within the compass of the most
ordinary intelligences; finally to dispose the form of my
instructions in such a manner that, by the unity of the subject,
the connection of the ideas, and an uniformity of style, they may
serve as well for sermons as for catechetical instructions. Such
has been my programme and my end. I shall be happy, indeed, if I
have succeeded in fulfilling the former and attaining the latter.
My readers shall judge, and the future shall tell me. What inspires
me with a little confidence, is the favorable judgment of the"
Committee on Books" which took such great care in examining my
manuscript, and, especially, the high approbation of Monseigneur
Delalle, our well-beloved prelate, who, by his learning and
accomplishments, occupies a distinguished rank in the French
episcopate.
