Excerpt from Catholic Ceremonies and Explanation of the Ecclesiastical Year To-day the sacred Offices are abandoned by a great number; those who still frequent them find them too long, and, for the majority, the sanctification of Sunday is limited to a simple Low Mass. Whence comes this difference 2 The former understood the beauties of the worship, the mysteries of the liturgy, and the latter, like the idols of which the prophet speaks, have eyes, but see not, and ears, yet hear not. If he who has written these pages attains his end, Sion shall see her ways less deserted upon her solemn feasts the sacred offices will be better understood; and then, in the holy place, each look shall become a prayer.

Excerpt from The Catholic Christian Instructed in the Sacraments, Sacrifice, Ceremonies, and Observances of the Church And certainly a person that has been but moderately versed in the sacred writings, will be surprised to find the use of incense ranked by the Doctor amongst heathenish rites, since it is so frequently mentioned with honor in God's holy word; as when the psalm ist desires that his prayer may ascend as incense in the sight of God, Psalm cxli. 2, as when the prophet Malachias (as his words are rendered in the Protes tant Bible) 'foretells, chap. I. 11, that in the Church of Christ, incense shall be offered in every place to God's holy name; as when St. John in the Revela tion, chap. V. 8, and chap. Viii. 4, 8m. Represents to us odors and incense burning before God in the heavenly Jerusalem. For, allowing these texts to be figurative, yet we are not to suppose that the sa cred penmen would describe to us the service either of the militant or triumphant Church, by figures bor rowed from heathenish superstition. As for what the Doctor has alleged against the use of incense out of the acts of the martyrs, who chose rather to die than to offer incense to false gods, and out of the law of Theodosius, which confiscates the places in which the Pagans had offered incense to their dei ties, he could not but know, that all this was utterly foreign to his purpose: but if he had a mind to be informed of the antiquity of the ceremonial use of incense amongst the Christians, he might have found it in the most ancient liturgies, and even in the very canons attributed to the Apostles, can. 3.

Excerpt from The Ceremonies of Some Ecclesiastical Functions In Rome heretics and infidel philosophers are almost every year brought to recognise the truth of the Catholic religion, and to embrace it through the impressions made on their minds by the grandeur and majesty of some Solemn Office to which mere curiosity had led them. They came to scoff, but remained to pray, overcome by the supernatural beauty and sublimity of the worship they witnessed. Their conversion is the effect, God so directing, of the sacred ceremonies - but, of the sacred ceremonies exactly Observed in all their details, in spirit as well as in letter, not, of the sacred ceremonies neglected altogether, or observed in a careless and slovenly manner.

Excerpt from The Externals of the Catholic Church: Her Government, Ceremonies, Festivals, Sacramentals, and Devotions Our Catholic Liturgy is a grand and harmonious manifestation of man's homage to God. Its words and ceremonies and devotions are the growth of centuries. The essentials of our Church's worship have been embellished with a wealth of ritual observance, of which each detail is symbolic of the purpose for which that worship is offered. The explanation of these manifold practices is the object of this work. How little is known, even by fairly well-informed Catholics, concerning the history and meaning of the practices which have been embodied in our Church's majestic ritual! They kneel before the altar of God; they listen to the cadence of psalm and hymn and Preface and prayer; they see the ministers of the Church perform various sacred actions - and in many cases they know little of the origin of what they hear and see, or of the reasons for the ceremonial which adds so much to the beauty of Catholic worship. They receive the Sacraments of the Church, devoutly, indeed, but without ever trying to learn why these are administered with certain ceremonies. They use the sacramentals, and profit by so doing; but how few have had an opportunity of learning the history of these things which our Church sanctifies for us! And when a non-Catholic, interested in these ancient practices of the "Mother Church," asks why and wherefore - how seldom we, the children of that Church, are able to give an accurate and satisfactory answer!
