Excerpt from Daily Reflections for Christians, Vol. 1
The Faithful are often exhorted to practise spiritual reading. Not many persons are prepared to devote every day to this useful practice more than a few moments. Those who are willing to adopt it sometimes find a difficulty in selecting suitable books. If they take up spiritual works containing long treatises, they may have to put them down before they have grasped a concise idea of the matter treated of, and their short daily readings may thus fail to afford the desired profit.
The present work offers the devout Faithful, for every day of the year, three pages of matter suitable for spiritual reading. The subjects arc varied, and every set of reflections stands complete by itself.
While not pretending that any of the many reflections, taken singly, will produce much fruit, the Author yet ventures to hope that the daily use of the 'Reflections' will tend to effect solid spiritual benefit. If any of the Faithful find that happily this proves so, they might, should occasion offer, suggest to others the use of these 'Daily Reflections.'
The Author ventures to think that his work may prove acceptable for use in colleges, convents, and families where the custom exists of having a short spiritual lesson or meditation read after night prayers; or, again, for use in churches where, at some of the devotions, a lesson is read.
