From the preface: , "This is a book that certainly exceeds the average measure. The proof is its extraordinary success: in three years of war it received 13 editions and was translated into 5 languages. The opinion of the foreign press regards it as "a work of first-rate value", "impressive in its originality", as "an excellent manual of clerical life, based on a solid foundation of dogma and the teachings of St. Paul". It greeted the press in general with a book by Fr. Marmion as one of the best and deeply thoughtful ascetical works that have appeared in recent times. In his letter of praise to the author, the Holy Father Benedict XV raises the deep cordiality and divine warmth with which his book is shrouded."
