Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Little Sermons on the Catechism: From the Italian of Cosimo Corsi, Cardinal-Archbishop of Pisa
Greatly mistaken are those who believe and claim that the Chris tian life is made up of nothing but difficulties, denials and sacrifices. This impression is proof that they have never really tried to live this life. Had they done so they would know that it has more delights than difficulties. Charity, for instance, is, according to our Divine Lord, the essence of the Divine Commandments. Now what is more agreeable to the heart of man than charity and love? Love is life and strength, says St. Augustine, and he who loves his work feels not hardship, suffers not by fatigue, because he loves his task and finds his delight in it. Dear brethren, the difficulties encountered in the Christian life are due mostly to the fact that the exalted destiny for which God has created us, and towards which our every desire and action should be directed, is not properly appreciated.
