Talks on the Sacramentals, By Msgr Arthur Tonne

Yesterday I posted Fr. Tonne on Candles from his book Talks on the Sacramentals. I've decided to share the entire book. Here's the introductory material.

INTRODUCTION

Most Catholics, and non-Catholics, too, want to know about the SACRAMENTALS. This book aims to give a simple, interesting explanation of them.

It is gratifying to learn that many priests are finding homiletic help in the author's previous works, listed on the title page. As always, your suggestions, hints, and criticisms are welcome and deeply appreciated.

It is high time that gratitude be offered to the official censors, the Rev. Lambert Brockman, O.F.M., representing the Province of St. John the Baptist, and to the Rev. Louis S. Hauber, representing the Diocese of Kansas City in Kansas, and to an unofficial censor, the Rev. J. Forest McGee, O.F.M., former editor of St. Anthony Messenger, for their many searching suggestions.

Enclosed you will find a list of proposed publications. Your choice in this matter will be seriously considered. With God's grace and blessing, the next volume will be TALKS ON THE MASS.

A prayerful remembrance will be appreciated by

The Author.

Feast of St. Scholastica. February 10, 1950.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
