| Summary | "An Address to the Sisters of St. Peter's Home, Brompton" by Edward Meyrick Goulburn is an ecclesiastical discourse delivered in the mid-19th century, specifically during 1864. This book serves as a spiritual guide tailored to women involved in the charitable works of St. Peter's Home, which was established for the care of convalescent women of good character. The likely topic of the book focuses on the role of spiritual life and practical service within the Christian framework, emphasizing the moral influence the Sisters can exert on others. In this address, Goulburn articulates three central practices aimed at enhancing spiritual influence in daily life: the Practice of God's Presence, submission to God's Will in daily trials, and undertaking all duties with the intention of serving Christ. He emphasizes that the Sisters' conduct should be a living testament of their faith, as their compassionate service can have a profound moral and spiritual impact on the patients they tend. Goulburn also warns against the dangers of cloistered spirituality that neglects active benevolence, asserting that a true Christian life is one of service and engagement with the world. Ultimately, this address encourages the Sisters to cultivate a deep personal spirituality while remaining wholeheartedly devoted to their mission of mercy and care.
