The Secular's Office: Or Appropriate Exercises for Every Day in the Week, Arranged in a Form Similar to That of the Roman Breviary

Excerpt from The Secular's Office: Or Appropriate Exercises for Every Day in the Week, Arranged in a Form Similar to That of the Roman Breviary

Prayer is one of the principal duties, and one of the greatest consolations of a Christian life. Watch and pray, is a command of our Divine Saviour, which his true followers have never ceased to observe from the very origin of religion. When the fires of impious persecution prevented the erection of temples in which this homage could be solemnly paid to the God of infinite power and mercy, the Christian looked upon the universe as his temple. On sea and on land, in the desert and in the cultivated field, in the prisons of Rome as well as in the privacy of domestic retirement, did he offer the tribute of his praise.
