Description
Excerpt from Outlines of Sermons for Young Men and Young Women
Father Augustine Scherer, the author of a series of excellent volumes of aid and counsel for preachers, writes thus concerning leagues and sodalities: "These associations for Christians of different callings and states of life are to be counted among the fairest blossoms that mark the development of the Church's vitality. They well deserve to be introduced into every congregation, and carefully fostered, since their aim is to promote true Christian principles and a Christian manner of life, and zealously to guard the faithful from the contamination of that moral corruption now invading every rank of society. Their object is also to further the conscientious fulfilment of the duties peculiar to each state of life, and the avoidance of the several dangers appertaining to each, besides giving greater force and efficacy to the performance of religious exercises and good works by the united action of the members."
The associations here spoken of are in fact a source of abundant blessing; they are admirably calculated to maintain and propagate morality and godliness in Christian communities. But if they are to live and flourish amongst us, and exercise a permanent influence for good, it is indispensably necessary to deliver an instruction on the subject at short intervals. In most places where such confraternities are organized a conference is given at certain intervals, either in public or, which is far more preferable, at a meeting from which non-associates are excluded. I have frequently heard the wish expressed for some manual that would assist the preacher in addressing these different sodalities.
