For many years the devotional works of St. John Eudes were practically unknown.For the first time, this book of Meditations by Saint John Eudes, with the admirable Introduction of Father Lebrun clarifying the mind of the Saint on the whole subject of prayer, is offered to the public in English dress. With it go the hope and the prayer that it may prove serviceable to many souls in the world and in the cloister; that it may assist them in reproducing and continuing the life of prayer of Jesus; nay more, that it may help many to 'put on Christ', become more perfectly 'other Christs', and thereby greatly extend His kingship on earth.
