The Holy Ghost and the Church have been working on it for more than 3,000 years, and it has become the basic book of prayer, a precious common fund to which the great men of prayer from every age have contributed their thoughts and sentiments.... In liturgical prayer, and therefore in the breviary, it is not primarily I who am praying, but the Church, the bride of Christ. The object of her prayer is broader, too: all the needs of God's kingdom here on earth.... For the man who prays, the breviary needs to be staff and guide and way to heaven.... The most prominent feature of the breviary's benefit lies in its wonderful arrangement of prayer in the sequence of canonical hours.

The time and care he has lavished on this little book are immediately evident, and reflect his own love of God, his affection for the children he serves, and his devotion to the great work of the catechist. What characterizes this book is the profuse but clear and apt use of many of the illustrations found in Holy Scripture to explain the significance and effectiveness of sanctifying grace, and the ingenious comparisons he has worked out to imprint these things indelibly on the mind.

God’s ineffable wisdom has selected as channels of that grace seven dramatic, concrete, effective symbols: the sacraments. Of all the tracts of theology, there is none so attractive to the student: the very consonance of the sacramental entity with human nature, the historical controversies they have inevitably encountered, and the evidence of divine wisdom in their selection all inspire the student to seek a deeper appreciation of their role in Christian life. Fr. McAuliffe’s volume does not present sacramental theology in pre-digested doses for the college student; it is purposely ‘a test of the student’s memory, ingenuity, ability to make distinctions, to think clearly and profoundly and reflectively.’ It is a judicious and altogether happy blend of positive and speculative doctrine.” —The Friar’s Bookshelf, \u003cem\u003eDominicana\u003c\/em\u003e, vol. 44, no. 2 (1959)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The answers to objections against the Real Presence and transubstantiation are better than any I remember to have seen….

Contemplative souls, treating of divine charity, persuade by their sincerity, and often charm by their eloquence, but the warmth of their love sometimes leads them to take for granted what the rest of us would wish to have discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \"If the religion of Christ be true, then the love of God to which it invites us is still the most important thing in life. At a time when men's minds are filled with foreboding at the prospect of the future, and that peace which is the tranquillity of order seems almost an idle dream, there is some comfort to be found in turning our thoughts to the two abiding realities: God and our own souls. The kingdoms of the world may pass away, but the truths by which the mind lives endure. To view calamity in the light of supernatural belief is not to take an unworthy refuge from the harsh realities of life; it is only to penetrate more deeply their meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \"That it is more important to love God than to know Him is one of the convictions which inspire these pages.

Short of the experimental knowledge of the mystics, on which it would be presumptuous folly to rely, perhaps the means best calculated to ensure fulfilment of the greatest of the commandments lie in our trying to appreciate, however imperfectly, what God is, to discern thereby something of His innate lovableness; and, we may add, what man is, and how great his need for God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \"The command to love God above all else is given to every Christian; it is not the exclusive concern of those who dedicate themselves to the priesthood or take vows of religion.

Monsignor Hellriegel's work in the apostolate of the Church's liturgy is well-known throughout the country. For over twenty-five years he has been a leader in the restoration of 'the primary and indispensable source of the true Christian spirit' (Pius X, \u003cem\u003eTra le Sollecitudini\u003c\/em\u003e).

Wells over the anti-Christian bias of the latter's \"outline of history.\" As he engaged with this bias, Belloc also began to counter the anti-Catholic bias of the official \"Whig History\" of England, especially in regard to the Reformation. Generations of Protestant historians had distorted the history of the Isles in their favor, and Belloc set about righting the record. At the time he wrote he was a pioneer in this kind of \"revisionism,\" which subsequent generations of historians would confirm and vindicate (one need only think of such figures as Eamon Duffy, Brad Gregory, Tom Holland, and Carlos Eire).

Writing after Tocqueville and Marx, and indebted to their practice of viewing social and economic life as expressive of more fundamental intellectual forms, Belloc wishes to explain the increasing discontent of modern \"capitalist\" societies. \"Industrial society as we know it will tend towards the re-establishment of slavery,\" he argues, drawing upon the emergent social doctrine of the Catholic Church. Pope Leo XIII's \u003cem\u003eRerum Novarum \u003c\/em\u003e(1891) was the first great document in the Church's summons to a \"third way\" that eschewed the brutality of industrial capitalism and the unnatural rationalism of socialist collectivism, both of them leading to impoverishments of various kinds.
