The book examines the nature, effects, and necessity of the Sacrament of Penance within the Catholic Church. Manning presents a clear exposition of Christ's mercy toward sinners and the means by which grace restores the fallen soul. Drawing on Scripture, patristic teaching, and pastoral experience, he explains how confession renews the interior life through contrition, absolution, and perseverance in amendment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe work is structured as a series of meditations and instructions addressed to both clergy and laity. Manning describes the moral psychology of sin and repentance, the cooperation of the will with grace, and the sacramental character of reconciliation. Each chapter treats a distinct aspect of the penitential process: the call to conversion, the preparation for confession, the effects of absolution, and the formation of habits that sustain a state of grace. The author's intent is to make the theology of penance immediately applicable to the spiritual life, without speculative digression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the context of nineteenth-century English Catholicism, \u003cem\u003eThe Love of Jesus to Penitents\u003c\/em\u003e reflects Manning's broader pastoral project of restoring sacramental discipline among the faithful after centuries of neglect. The text served as both a manual of instruction and a work of spiritual encouragement during the Catholic revival in England. It remains a representative document of Manning's style-precise, ascetical, and doctrinally firm-and continues to be valued for its lucid presentation of traditional Catholic teaching on repentance and divine mercy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 6.75 x 4.12 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 04, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46590158143685,"sku":"9798999756046","price":26.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/x5ADVVVbX89798999756046.webp?v=1784979264","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-love-of-jesus-to-penitents-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
