Description
Excerpt from Selected Letters of Saint Jane Frances De Chantal
WE are all apt so to idealise the Saints whom we love to study and honour, and Strive to imitate, that we are in danger of forgetting that they possessed a human nature like our own, subject to many trials, weaknesses and frailties. They had to struggle as we have to struggle. 'the only difference is that their constancy and perseverance were greater far than ours.
Biographers are Often responsible for the false tendency to which we allude. They like to give us the finished portrait of the Saints, and only too Often they omit in great part the details of the long and weary toil that went to make the picture which they delight to paint.
