Excerpt from Sermons and Sermon Notes I propose to speak here of those gifts which enabled Father Maturin to win so many hearts and souls to a good and useful life, and often to a high Spirituality. Father Maturin was a man in whom missionary zeal, the fire of Spiritual genius and penetrating psycho logical insight were combined to a rare degree. Both in the pulpit and from the chair of the preacher of spiritual retreats, first as a Cowley Father and then for eighteen years as a Catholic Priest, these gifts were exercised with a power which deeply affected many lives. I personally never heard any preacher of whom the word inspiration could be more justly used. It was with him in the pulpit much what it is with many a great poet, whose conversation little prepares one for the immense sweep of imagination and passion or the power of vivid expression which are apparent when he takes his pen in hand. With the poet brooding thought in solitude as a rule kindles the fire and his pen is the instrument for kindling others. With Father Maturin the presence of human beings whom he addressed kindled the fire in himself and the spoken word waslhis instrument.
