PREFACE TO THE SERIES.

ONE title given to our Lord in the holy Scriptures is that of Shepherd. He is the great and good Shepherd, who gave His life for the sheep. His flock is one, and embraces all the baptized. That flock He has committed to many shepherds, assigning to each a portion, according to their respective orders, and demanding, as a proof of their love to Him, that they "feed His sheep" and "the lambs of His fold," whom He hath purchased with His own blood.

Though the ministry of God's word in His house, and private instruction in your dwellings, are the chief means of conveying the knowledge of divine truth to your hearts, I have thought it good also to commit to writing some pastoral instruction for your reading and meditation, especially as many of you are often hindered from attending God's house. The subjects on which I have written will, I hope, by God's blessing, afford you spiritual strength and consolation, and advance you in the knowledge and love of the Father and of his Son Jesus Christ, whom truly to know is life eternal.

And as these subjects contain nothing but Catholic truth-such truths as were preached by our Lord
