Book Description
Excerpt from Sermons for the Christian Year, Vol. 1 It was thought well to give so brilliant a student the benefit of a course at Rome, and so after his re turn from his holiday, he was sent by Bishop Grant to the venerable English College there to complete his ecclesiastical studies. Here he gained a reputa tion for high ability, and in due time took his Doc tor's degree. He was ordained deacon by Cardinal Patrizi, at St. John Lateran, in 1863, and priest on Holy Saturday, 1864. He said his first Mass in the Chapel of the English College on Easter Sunday. In September, 1863, during the summer vacation, he had made another long walking tour in the form of a pilgrimage to Loreto. He then Visited Assisi, Perugia, Bologna and even Milan, returning by Florence and Orvieto. On this occasion, too, he visited famous monastic sanctuaries of Vallombrosa and Camaldoli. In 1864 he received the Doctor's cap and ring from Father Perrone S. J., and in September left Rome for England. On this journey, he first went South, visiting Naples and Benevento, and making a pil grimage to the tomb of St. Benedict at Monte Cassino. He retraced his steps along the Adriatic Gulf to Ravenna, and thence by F errara, Padua and Venice, through the Austrian Tyrol to Munich, and so back to London. He was now placed on the Professorial staff of St. Edmund's College, where he remained four years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
