Description
Excerpt from The Life of St. John Berchmans of the Society of Jesus
The lives of those Who have been eminent by their virtues, and around Whose names clings the odor of sanctity, even after they have fin ished their mortal career and disappeared from amongst men, are like beacon-lights upon the great ocean-track of life, and at the same time infuse encouragement, emulation, and confi dence into the heart of the sometimes discon solate pilgrim, Who is still left to toil and struggle on his voyage from time to eternity. Some have dazzled by their brilliancy, others have astounded by their austerities, and others by the singular graces and privileges with which God''s love has chosen ?to favor them. To others again, God has imparted no special prerogative of miracle, or ecstasy, or unap proachable sanctity; but has conducted them over the beaten road of the virtues proper to, and expected from their state of life, and has rewarded their fidelity with the same crown.
