E-text prepared by Al Haines "Parochial and Plain Sermons, Vol. VII" by John Henry Newman is a collection of religious sermons written in the late 19th century. This volume is part of a larger series that offers insights into Christian doctrine and moral teachings aimed at guiding the faithful in their spiritual lives. The sermons tackle profound themes such as the importance of time, the inevitability of death, the burdens of worldly desires, and the nature of true religion compared to worldly pursuits. The opening of this volume begins with a sermon titled "The Lapse of Time," which reflects on Solomon's counsel to work diligently in the pursuit of one's soul's salvation, as life is fleeting and inevitable death halts all earthly endeavors. Newman emphasizes the importance of living life with intention and urgency, illustrating how societal distractions lead individuals away from recognizing the value of each moment. He underscores the accountability individuals will face after death and the necessity of aligning one's actions with divine expectations, ultimately urging readers to prioritize their spiritual well-being over temporal gains.
