| Summary |
"Sermons by the Fathers of the Congregation of St. Paul the Apostle, Volume VI" is a collection of Christian sermons written in the late 19th century. The work comprises various sermons intended for different occasions throughout the Church calendar, focusing on themes of gratitude, morality, and Christian living. It aims to guide readers in reflecting on their faith and the tenets of Catholic life, encouraging them to remember God's mercies and live them out through good deeds. The opening of this volume presents an introduction to the sermons that will follow, emphasizing the importance of remembrance in the spiritual journey. The first sermon, "Remembrance of Mercies," highlights the necessity of recalling God's blessings as a means of fostering gratitude and guiding future actions. The author reflects on human tendencies to forget both divine kindness and the lessons learned from past experiences. By prompting congregants to recognize and cherish the “tender mercies” of God, the sermon sets the tone for a series of reflections designed to deepen one’s faith and commitment to a moral lifestyle.
