    Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of powerful sermons delivered by the renowned French preacher Louis Bourdaloue. At their heart lies the theme of Christian charity, particularly as it relates to the poor and marginalized. Drawing upon biblical parables and real-world examples, Bourdaloue eloquently expounds upon the moral and spiritual imperative to care for those in need. He explores the transformative power of almsgiving, not only for the recipient but also for the donor. Bourdaloue argues that active compassion serves as a catalyst for humility, purity of soul, and unwavering devotion. By elucidating the profound connection between faith and practical acts of mercy, this collection of sermons offers a timeless guide to living a truly Christian life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Et il rapporte les propres propos de la princesse lisant Isaïe : "Elle crut entendre une voix douce & paternelle qui luy disoit "Je t'ay ramenée des extrémitez de la terre, des lieux les plus éloignez ; des voyes détournées, où tu te perdois, abandonnée à ton propre sens, si loin de la celeste patrie, & de la veritable voye qui est Jesus-Christ".

    The most beautiful early edition of Bourdaloue's Christian exhortations and instructions. "This 12mo edition is the best in this format" (Brunet, I, 1175). From 1670 on, Bourdaloue became the "King's preacher". It is known that each year, at the end of Lent, the Grand Chaplain presented Louis XIV with a list of the most popular sacred preachers in the city; the king himself designated two preachers, one for Advent and the other for Lent. These speakers were later given the title of King's preacher. It was a tradition that a sermonist did not return more than three times before the Court. Bossuet had preached four times, Bourdaloue held the pulpit of the royal chapel up to ten times. In fact, he preached before the king in the Advent of 1670, 1684, 1686, 1689, 1691, 1693, as well as in the Lenten seasons of 1672, 1674, 1675, 1680 and 1682. The favor he enjoyed thus far exceeded that of Bossuet and, judging only by the success he had in his time, one can say that Bourdaloue was if not the greatest preacher of the century of Louis XIV, at least the most followed. Contemporaries, and particularly Madame de Sévigné, in her Letters, echo the triumphs of this man who knew how to remain modest. Bossuet himself was very appreciative of his merits, since he tried on several occasions to attract him to his diocese. Another attraction, the safety of the style and the word, which completes the rigour of its thought. Moreover, Bourdaloue always remains accessible; he is constantly close to his public, he knows it admirably, he knows its weak points - and Madame de Sévigné could write: "He strikes like a deaf man. Sauve qui peut! Another very sensitive merit of his time, Bourdaloue scatters his sermons with portraits, painted on the spot; he evokes the courtier in his daily thought, in his attitude towards his religious duties. Finally, and this is probably the most important, Bourdaloue is a Christian moralist; he is the Christian moralist par excellence of the century of Louis XIV. The knowledge of the Souls acquired in the spiritual direction of the consciences, he puts it to profit in his Sermons. His morality is essentially practical, always precise and particular. In the analysis of the passions, he is as good as La Bruyère and sometimes exceeds him. It is certain that his practical and immediate influence was very great on the life of his contemporaries. A wonderful copy bound in contemporary green morocco with dentelle for Madame Victoire, the daughter of King Louis XV, attributable to Derome. It appears under the n°15 of the books' catalog of the library of Madame Victoire reproduced in Quentin-Bauchart (Les Femmes bibliophiles de France, p. 160) and is thus described there : "Charming copy admirably preserved, and bearing the ex libris of Madame Victoire stuck inside each volume (here formerly unstuck). Library of Versailles. Reserve." "Madame Victoire was beautiful and very graceful. "Her welcome, her look, her smile were in accordance with the goodness of her soul. She lived with the greatest simplicity. Without leaving Versailles, without sacrificing the comforts of life, nor the soft wing chair that she never left and that lost her, she said, she did not forget any duty, gave to the poor all that she possessed, and made herself adored by everyone. It is said that she was not insensitive to good food, but she redeemed these sins of laziness and gluttony by an always equal mood and by an inexhaustible benevolence. Baron Jerome Pichon also had a handwritten catalog of the library of Madame Victoire, whose books are no less interesting than those of Madame Sophie. Some of the books are remarkable: the Fables de la Fontaine with the figures of Oudry, bound in green morocco with large dentelle on the covers, the Représentation des Fêtes données par la ville de Strasbourg, à l'occasion de la convalescence du Roi, a magnificent folio volume bound in mosaic by Padeloup, and the Bourdaloue, bound by Derome, also from the Versailles library, are books of the first order. Most of them, as will be seen in the description we give below, are worthy of a place in the best libraries. (Quentin-Bauchart, Les Femmes bibliophiles de France, pp. 123-130).
