Calvary and the Altar: or Devotions for the Octave of the Blessed Sacrament

Are we not tempted to say, like the apostles of old, "How can these things be?" Nothing is so wounding to heart that loves another, as coldness and indifference on the part of the loved one. We feel this every day in the natural relations of life, and yet we fail to perceive the depth of our insensibility towards that Sacred Heart, who has so loved us as to die for us; and a still greater miracle, who deigns, veiled in the sacred species, to go on dwelling with us and amongst us, though we seem as if we knew Him not. It is to bring such thoughts home to our minds, to kindle greater love in onr hearts, and to furnish to devout souls fresh motives for adoration and thanksgiving, that this Book has been written. The translation has been admirably done by the same pen which has previously given us the "Reflections and Prayers for HoIy Communion," with a Preface by his Grace the Archbishop of Westminster, of which work he speaks as a valuable addition to our books of devotion, being in a high degree, real and solid.
