| Summary |
"Five Minute Sermons, Volume I" by Paulist Fathers is a collection of concise sermons intended for Low Masses, likely written in the late 19th century. The sermons aim to provide spiritual nourishment and guidance to congregants who attend these shorter services, condensing essential teachings of the Catholic faith into five minutes of focused discourse. This compilation reflects a deep commitment to making scriptural teachings accessible and practicable for the faithful. The opening portion of the book introduces the purpose and context of these sermons, detailing their origin in St. Paul’s Church in New York during the late 1870s. It explains the motivation for creating succinct messages that would not detract from the convenience of worshippers attending Low Mass, ensuring they receive meaningful spiritual instruction. Additionally, it pays tribute to Rev. Algernon A. Brown, the late priest whose work inspired many of the sermons included in this volume, highlighting the emphasis on clarity and earnestness in addressing the congregation's spiritual needs. The sermons present themes of judgment, penance, and personal spiritual growth, inviting readers to reflect on their relationship with God and their readiness for eternal life.
