Sermons and Sermon Notes
Father Maturin was one of those men of real genius who never advertised himself, but did his work quietly and thoroughly. His was not among the great historical names of his generation; but his gifts were placed very high indeed by those who followed his career as a preacher and came under his personal influence. The touch of true genius was unmistakable in him: yet I think his friends used to feel during his lifetime that though he was generally known to be one of our best preachers, the world at large had little conception of the quality of his mind which gave him so special a position among his own disciples and friends. And when at his Requiem the huge Westminster Cathedral was filled by...
Self-Knowledge and Self-Discipline: Attaining Happiness and Spiritual Joy with God Through Discipline of the Mind and Body
Basil W. Maturin offers immense and inspiring insights upon spiritual and personal growth, which he held to be a matter of constantly disciplining oneself to submit to God's divine will. A man of supreme devotion and faith, Maturin sets out the principles through which Christian faithful can grow closer to God. Disciplining in one's thought and habits are held to be the most important undertakings for any believer; it is only through learning and practicing the virtues espoused by Christ and other Biblical figures that we can experience lasting harmony in our daily lives and be of well-rounded and responsible character for all-time. The author distinguishes between the different disciplines a human being can undertake - discipline of the mind with a good attitude, emotions and regard for the holy, and discipline of the body by abstaining from indulgences, must be paired with a willful acknowledgement of Christ in the supernatural life.
