Excerpt from Memorials of the Blessed: A Series of Short Lives of the SaintsWhat more beautiful preparation for death could there be, than the one made by the author of this little volume? To dwell and ponder upon, and then set forth, the Memorials of the Blessed, was the task he proposed to himself, and after he had done the one, and before he could accomplish the other, he was sum moned to the company of those Blessed Saints, whose virtues he had striven to teach, both by word and example. Truly of such a one it may be said, that his conversation was in heaven.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
