Frederic Baraga, a Slovenian missionary to the Native Americans in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, who later became the first Bishop of the Diocese of Marquette, wrote Exhortations for the Holy Year of 1826. In this work, he shows his boundless love and compassion towards poor sinners. The young pastor of the souls recommends taking advantage of the Holy Year of 1826 to improve one's prayer life and to receive the sacraments more often; a Holy Year is a time of special grace. This book contains Exhortations for the Holy Year written in English, Slovenian, French, and Italian
