Concerning the Inner Life (Illustrated)

— A Classic — Includes Active Table of Contents — Includes Religious Illustrations

WE are to consider in the course of these addresses some of the problems most intimately concerning that which is generally known as the ‘inner life’; and this in their special relation to the needs of the parish priest and religious teacher. And by the term ‘inner life’ we shall here mean all that conditions the relation of the individual soul with God; the deepening and expansion of the spiritual sense; in fact, the heart of personal religion. I feel a great diffidence in coming before you, as an ordinary laywoman, to speak of such matters as these; since they are, after all, your peculiar and professional concern. Indeed, I only presume to do so because I care about these things very much, and have some leisure to think about them; and so venture to put at your service certain conclusions to which I have come. If many of these are already familiar to you, as they probably are, you must forgive me.
