Excerpt from Am I of the Chosen: The Same Being a Series of Conferences SpokenThe ecclesiastic law has its appointed times of penance. When these terms expire all ecclesiastic obligation subsides with them, Whereas the divine virtue of penance urges at all times, and at no time Wholly ceases.As, moreover, the book contains the truth, it suits all times, since truth, not being subject to change, owns no seasons. We must be always about the things 'that are of the Father, we must ever be intent upon doing the 'one thing necessary, ' for, fail in whatsoever else we will, let us, at any cost, save our immortal souls, redeemed by the blood of the Lord. Others may have this world, but give us the next.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
