Excerpt from The Life of St. Alphonsus Liguori: Bishop, Confessor, and Doctor of the Church, Founder of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer
When we add his man foundations, missions given and repeated in afinost every town and hamlet in the kingdom of Na les, innumerable souls guided in the higher pat S of the Spiritual life, conventual and educational establishments founded or reformed, we may well revert to the marvellous industry of the earlier monastic founders, which our saints alone have been able to rival in modern times, - to Columbanus, who ordained that his monks should go to rest so fatigued as to fall asleep on the way, and get up before they had slept enough; for, what was the whole life of our saint but an heroic and successful effort to keep religiously the appalling vow by which he bound himself never to waste a moment of time.
