About this book
Sermon Notes of John Henry Cardinal Newman, 1849-1878 (Works of Cardinal Newman: Birmingham Oratory Millennium Edition) by Newman, John Henry Cardinal. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780268017712.
Newman was told that Catholic priests do not read sermons, but this does not mean that he made them up as he went along. He planned his Catholic sermons as meticulously as he did his famous Parochial and Plain, but he committed them to memory and then he made notes afterwards. His sermons, delivered over a period of thirty years, provide some fascinating insights into his active mind and the range of subjects he covered within the framework of the Churchs liturgical year. James Mozley, writing in 1946, said, "A sermon of Mr. Newmans enters into our feelings, ideas, and modes of viewing things. Persons look into Mr. Newmans sermons and see their own thoughts in them." Unpublished for ninety years, Sermon Notes of John Henry Cardinal Newman shows Newmans brilliant mind at work.
