Overview

The idea of it, as we are informed in the original Preface, was taken from Bossuet's Elevations sur les Mysteres; and its character cannot be better expressed, than in the terms of the Approbation given under authority of his Lordship the Archbishop of Cambrai. This, vork, breathing in every page, sentiments of the tenderest and truest devotion to Holy Church, combines with an ardent zeal to make her known, loved, and honoured, the greatest exactness and solidity in its doctrinal statements. The spirit of charity and wisdom that has guided the Author's pen throughout, induces a hope that, while, replete with interest and instruction for clergy and laity, his excellent book will, by divine grace, prove useful even to those who are strangers to the Fold. In this hope the Translator fervently unites; and in conclusion he recommends for translation to those who have leisure for the task, two other worlrs by the same Author, constituting one series with the present Amour a la Sainte Eucharistie and Amour a la Sainte Vierge. Holy Church, is the Society of the Saints; and Thou, 0 Lord, art the Saint of Saints. I must needs then ascend in thought up to Thee it I would discover the archetype of that divine society of which Thou art the sovereign source. In eternity alone are to be traced the foundations of that august edifice, which has nothing to Compare with it on earth, and whose builder is none other than Thyself.
