Book Description

Excerpt from Sermons for Every Sunday and Festival of the Year, Vol. 1: Chiefly Taken From the Sermons of M. Massillon, Bishop of Clermont Massillon softens and decks with charms the severities of God's law. He compels the sinner to acknow ledge the folly and madness of a sinful life he instils into his mind a hatred and disgust of the cruel ty rant under whose despotism he has languished so long: he convinces him that sin is the fatal enemy of his peace, and he describesin such plain and energetic terms his blindness, ingratitude, and misery, that he is in a manner constrained to throw himself into the armsof piety, as the only means of asserting the dignity of his nature, and of acquiring peace and happiness, as well here, as here after.
