Saint Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801-1890). These Lenten meditations were originally published as sermons by John Henry Newman between 1825 and 1843, prior to his conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1845. Addressed to a Protestant audience, this great saint speaks to the heart and mind of every one who has eyes and ears to receive his words, Catholic and Protestant alike. Like that of Sacred Scripture, the message is universal and perennial, with freshness and vigor to change our lives as they did the for the first audience, almost two centuries ago. Regarding the strength of Newman's ideas, William Copeland wrote: "They met, at that time, very real and great moral, intellectual, and spiritual needs of man, -in giving depth and precision and largeness to his belief and apprehension of the mysteries of God, and seriousness and accuracy to his study and knowledge of himself, of his own nature, with its manifold powers, capacities, and responsibilities, and of his whole relation to the supernatural and unseen. They found a response in the hearts and minds and consciences of those to whom they were addressed, in marvelous proportion to the affectionate and stirring earnestness with which their Author appealed to the conscious or dormant sense of their needs, and his zealous and energetic endeavours, under God's blessing, to show, in every variety of light, how the grand central Verities of the Christian Dispensation, entrusted as the good "Deposit," to the Church, were revealed and adapted to supply them." (W. J. Copeland. Farnham Rectory, Essex, May 15th, 1868).Also included within these pages are beautiful prayers and poems written by Saint John Henry Newman, and lovely illustrations from the world's best Christian art.
