Über diesen Titel

 Henry Edward Manning (1808-1892) was an Oxford-educated Anglican clergyman who made a profound shift to Roman Catholicism after a pivotal Privy Council decision in 1850. Ordained as a priest in 1851, he later became the archbishop of Westminster in 1865 and was elevated to cardinal by Pope Pius IX in 1875. In his enlightening work, The Love of Jesus to Penitents, Manning explores the myriad benefits the Sacrament of Penance offers to the penitent. He highlights how it reveals the tender compassion of Jesus, grants the grace of spiritual rebirth to the soul, fosters self-awareness, inspires perfect contrition, and equips the spiritually renewed with the perseverance to maintain grace throughout their lives. Manning noted that while Catholics of his time cherished the Sacrament of Penance, they often neglected its profound graces. This observation resonates with our current era, making his insights not only relevant but also enriching for both Catholics and non-Catholics alike. This short book promises to be both interesting and informative, shedding light on the practical significance and efficacy of this ancient sacrament. (Summary by dave7)
