the Father in Spirit and in Truth in the circle of His Divine acts for the redemption of the world. The Calendar of the Church renews before our spiritual and intellectual vision,—it may almost be said before our eyes of Sense,— the Supreme Worship of the Ever Blessed Trinity, in the Communion of the Saints. Into this interior world of heavenly beauty, splendour, and peace, the Liturgy of the Church admits us day by day. And the Abbot of Solesmes has rendered a signal help to all who love this prelude of a better world, and this avenue to the Vision of peace, by this beautiful and spiritual commentary on our Seasons and Solemnities. Our thanks are also due to the Rev. Father Shepherd, O.S.B., for the patience and care with which he has undertaken this Translation.
