This collection of twelve sermons by Italian Jesuit Paolo Segneri was originally delivered during Lent in the mid-17th century. The sermons cover a range of topics such as repentance, prayer, and forgiveness, and are notable for their practical guidance and accessible style. Segneri's emphasis on personal responsibility and his rejection of religious hypocrisy make these sermons as relevant today as they were centuries ago.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
