Excerpt from Thoughts and Affections on the Passion of Jesus Christ for Every Day of the Year: Taken From Holy Scripture and the Writings of the Fathers of the Church By graciously accepting the dedication of our new trans lation of Father Bergamo's popular treatise, Cardinal Gib bons has added another link to the chain of affectionate gratitude that binds the Passionists of the United States to His Eminence. At all times he has been to them a devoted friend. In their manifold labors throughout the country, they have ever found in him a kind adviser and zealous patron, - a true father and guide. The hierarchy, the clergy, religious, as also the laity, de4 yout to the Passion of our blessed Lord, will, we trust, read this new translation with profit to their souls in this life and for the life to come.
