PREFACE The following method of thanksgiving of Father Lancisius is taken from one of our most beautiful works of spirituality, "All for Jesus," by Father Faber. It appeared to the writer of these lines however, that as "All for Jesus," from its size, could never be brought within the reach of the Catholic poor in England, they might, by a cheap reprint of this thanksgiving, be supplied with this mode of returning more Worthy thanks to God for His greatest gift, and thus make amends to their Divine Redeemer, for the numberless insults He receives in His sacrament of love. The kind permission of Father Faber and Messrs. Richardson having been obtained, to reprint it in as cheap a form as possible, it is now offered to the Catholic public, and is recommended to them as a valuable addition to the "Anima Divota" of Father Pagani, General of the Order of Charity, while, to those who have not that book within their reach, the method of thanksgiving now issued will, in a great degree, supply the deficiency. - Catholicus. Having been requested by the writer of the above to bring this reprint within the reach of the faithful, and to induce some devout souls to use this form of thanksgiving, I earnestly request all those into whose hands God may allow this little book to come, to remember him in their communions, and to pray that he may receive many blessings in this life, as well as in that happy life where we shall understand more perfectly than we now do, the boundless goodness which has allowed us to taste, in this valley of tears, the Bread of Angels. - Thomas Grant
