These pages are a continuation of papers written monthly in a very busy life for "The Messenger of the Sacred Heart." The kind and surprising reception accorded to my two former small volumes gives ground to hope that this may be equally acceptable and profitable to souls. The treatment of the various mysteries is not intended to be deep or recondite, still less novel and unusual. The simple thoughts presented are for those especially who love to linger prayerfully on the mysteries of the Gospel narrative during the Holy Hour with a view to the profit of their souls and daily lives. It is with pleasure that I add my thanks to my very dear friends, Fathers Joseph H. Smith and J. Harding Fisher, who have carefully revised these pages, and seen them through the press.
