Excerpt from Short Instructions: For Every Sunday of the Year and for the Principal Feasts I think it is true to say at no time in the history of the Church, from the days of our. blessed Saviour to this very hour, has the word of God been more industriously proclaimed than at the present. And this is particularly true of our own country. The time was, and in our own recollection, when the faithful assembled and assisted at the holy sacrifice, and immediately departed. They were fully satisfied that the law of the Church had been complied with. They rarely, if ever, heard the gospel or the epistle read in the vernacular. The time was too limited, or the priest was burdened with other and pressing duties which would not allow of delay. Both priest and people were obliged to content themselves with a scant fulfilment of the Sunday precept. But this condition has ceased. The priests are now more numerous, and the arrangements for Sunday services have been perfected. There is now scarcely an assembly of the faithful where the word of God is not spoken.
