About This Book

A series of fourteen conferences addressed to secular priests that offers practical and spiritual guidance: it outlines the nature of the priestly vocation, examines evangelical virtues such as poverty, chastity, and obedience, and prescribes daily religious exercises, pastoral duties, liturgy and preaching. It also treats personal care — recreations, annual holidays, periodic retreats, conduct in sickness and preparation for death — and situates reforms in pastoral tone by reflecting on recent historical conditions of the secular clergy. Frequent reference to established bishops and missionary experience supplies examples and authority for proposed practices.
