The love the most adorable & Most Sacred Heart of Jesus - The angel of the altar - Fr Thomas Kinane

This book is an absolute gem for those who want to learn about "The Love of the Most Adorable and the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus."

It is an abridged version of the book "The Angel of the Altar" by Father Thomas Kinane, and he compiled this work in the late 1800's. He was also the author of the St Joseph booklet published by South Africa Needs Our Lady.

Fr Kinane's style is simple, but profound and insistent. He evidences a depth of piety, goodness and fervour, which is so desperately needed today!

His special gift lay in enabling us to grasp and love lofty notions and doctrines.

In this book he brings the person of Our Lord Jesus Christ and devotion to His Sacred Heart into the realm of the familiar and acceptable.

This is the great strength of Fr Kinane's works. His appeal is simply to raise minds, hearts and souls to the meditation on higher things; to live for and in God. In short, the pursuit of holiness!

Fr Kinane offers countless ways we might sanctify our day, raise our hearts and souls to God, and attract His grace upon ourselves, our cherished ones, and our country.

The book includes many acts of love and reparation, but the easiest and simplest offerings involve ordinary invocations which can be said many times daily: while daydreaming, working, gardening, cooking... in short at any time, whenever grace prompts.

One beautiful devotion is the "Holy Hour."

The author paints a touching and brief biography of St Margaret May, whose sanctity and piety leave one simply gasping! Due to her near constant watch before the Blessed Sacrament at the Altar, the book, in reference to her, is affectionately subtitled, "The Angel of the Altar."

Book size A5, 110 pages, full colour.
