Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Antonio Rosmini-Serbati For us in England, it is this aspect of Rosmini and his work that is particularly significant. In a paper entitled A Forgotten Chapter of the Second Spring, 1 I have elsewhere tried to show the indebtedness of the Church in England in its Second Spring, during the first half of the nineteenth century, to the work of the Rosminian Fathers, sent over by their Founder in 1835, long before Newman's conversion and the wonderful days of The Oxford Movement. As will be seen in the present volume, the Fathers were the first itinerant missioners to e'vangelise this country since the Reformation. In fact, Missions, in the Specific sense of occasional or periodical spiritual exercises preached to whole congregations, so characteristic a feature of modern Catholic life, were introduced into this country and Ireland by the Fathers of Charity. To them, too, we owe the introduction of the Quarant' Ore and the popular devotions of the Month of May, all potent factors in the resuscitation of Catholic life and practice in our midst. If I emphasise these historical facts, it is because they have been a good deal forgotten, and because they indicate the indebtedness of the Church in these lands to the Institute of Charity and therefore to its Founder, Antonio Rosmini.
