Another year, when preaching for the same occasion, this eloquent Pontiff, and Doctor of the Church, was even more energetic and lengthy, in putting these great truths before the people; would to God the words of such a Pope, as Leo the Great, could make themselves heard by our present generation, and induce us Christians to mistrust the individualistic tendencies of what is called the piety suited to the age we live in. Fortunately, the words of the Saint exist, and in all their “pontifical eloquence;” we invite our readers to peruse his “Sermons;” all we have space for, is a short selection from his third Sermon on the Fast of the seventh month (our September Ember Days).
Isa pang taon, kapag nangangaral para sa parehong okasyon, ito eloquent Pontipise, at Doctor of the Church, ay kahit na mas energetic at napakahabang, sa paglalagay ng mga dakilang katotohanan sa harap ng bayan; nakatigil sana ang mga salita ng tulad ng isang Pope, bilang Leo the Great, maaari gumawa ng kanilang mga sarili narinig sa pamamagitan ng ating kasalukuyang henerasyon, at magbuod ating mga Kristiyano upang paghinalaan ang individualistic tendencies ng kung ano ay tinatawag na ang paggalang sa mga magulang na angkop sa edad namin nakatira sa.
