By A.H. Baverstock

Book Overview

The Priest As Confessor is a book written by Alban Henry Baverstock and first published in 1914. The book is a comprehensive guide for Catholic priests on the role of the confessor in the sacrament of penance. The book covers a wide range of topics related to confession, including the history and theology of the sacrament, the preparation of penitents for confession, the examination of conscience, the absolution of sins, and the pastoral care of penitents. Baverstock draws on the teachings of the Catholic Church, as well as his own experience as a priest, to provide practical advice and guidance for priests who serve as confessors. He emphasizes the importance of compassion, patience, and understanding in the confessional, and encourages priests to be attentive to the spiritual needs of each individual penitent. The book also includes a section on the administration of the sacrament to children, as well as a discussion of the various forms of penance that can be assigned to penitents. Overall, The Priest As Confessor is a valuable resource for Catholic priests who wish to deepen their understanding of the sacrament of penance and improve their pastoral care of penitents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
