Excerpt from Fifty Golden Years in Central Illinois: An Epic in PurpleThe hopes and success of the Church rest greatly in the long run on its faithful parish priests. Without them, Popes, Cardinals, and Bishops, however zealous, learned, able, and holy, can do but little for God's glory or for the good of men. They may plan wisely, may exhort elo quently, may direct and govern prudently, may have indeed in both head and heart, as they should, solicitude for all the churches, yet after all it is the parish priest who bears the brunt of the battle for good against evil, for truth against error, for virtues against vice.He is the Church's contact man with indi vidual souls. It is he who wrestles directly with the problems involved in the building and main taining both Church and school, who instructs the ignorant, strengthens the weak, raises the fallen, goes in search of the lost, rebukes the for ward, warns the reckless, inspires the good and faithful, who in a word, keeps alive and bright the fires of faith, hope, and charity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
