Faber

One of Fr. Faber's greatest books; and definitely his most encouraging; for it was written precisely to help us save our souls by "serving Jesus out of love;" for "everything comes easy to love." Gives us powerful motives for loving God. Says if we did; it would be with us as it was with Jacob working to earn the hand of Rachel: "Years would seem but days; for the greatness of our love." Makes a person feel rich to be a Catholic. This is Fr. Faber at his best!

Not illustrated. 1858 edition. Excerpt: ... 287 CHAPTER VI. THE FIFTH DOLOUR. THE CRUCIFIXION. The world is a mystery. Life, time, death, doubt, good and evil, and the uncertainty which hangs about our eternal lot, are all mysteries. They lie burning on the heart at times. But the Crucifix is the meaning of them, the solution of them all. It puts the question, and answers it as well. It is the reading of all riddles, the certainty of all doubts, and the centre of all faiths, the fountain of all hopes, the symbol of all loves. It reveals man to himself, and God to man. It holds a light to time that it may look into eternity, and be reassured. It is a sweet sight to look upon in our times of joy; for it makes the joy tender without reproving it, and elevates without straining it. In sorrow there is no sight like it. It draws forth our tears, and makes them fall faster, and so softly that they become sweeter than very smiles. It gives light in the darkness, and the silence of its preaching is always eloquent, and death is life in the face of that grave earnest of eternal life. The Crucifix is always the same, yet ever varying its expression so as to be to us in all our moods just what we most want and it is best for us to have. No wonder saints have hung over their Crucifixes in such trances of contented love. But Mary is a part of the reality of this symbol. The Mother and the Apostle stand, as it were, through all ages at the foot of the Crucifix, symbols themselves of the great mystery, of the sole true religion, of what God has done for the world which He created. As we cannot think of the Child at Bethlehem /without His Mother, so neither will the Gospel let us picture to ourselves the Man on Calvary without His Mother also. Jesus and Mary were always one; but there was a...

Excerpt from Hymns: With a Sketch O His Life In 1841, Faber and his pupil left England for an extended tour on the Continent. In the following September, they were at Ambleside again. Faber's letters and diary are full of the most beautiful, poetic descriptions Of the scenery and customs which they beheld. Graphic and vital, couched in exquisitely appropriate language, they are models of what a traveller's memorial should be; and after half a cen tury they have lost nothing of their Vitality and inter est. A portion of this material he embodied in a wprk entitled Sights and Thoughts in Foreign Churches and among Foreign Peoples, which was dedicated to Wordsworth.
