"Quanta cura adhibenda sit, ut sacrosanctum Missæ sacrificium omni religionis cultu ac veneratione celebretur, quivis facile existimare poterit, qui cogitârit, maledictum in sacris Litteris eum vocari, qui facit opus Dei negligenter.

But since that time his residence in college has enabled him to devote himself more fully to the study of Liturgical Science, and his sole occupation consisting in the care of young Levites destined to the Ministry of the Holy Altar, it is presumed that every care has been taken to render this book fit for its important purpose.
