THE
LIFE OF SAINT GAËTAN,
FOUNDER OF THE ORDER OF THÉATINS.
FROM A BIOGRAPHY OF THE SAINT BY
THE REVEREND P. DE TRACY,
PUBLISHED IN 1774, AND FROM
THE BOLLANDIST LIVES OF THE SAINTS.
"I exhort you afresh to propose to yourself continually the example of the Saints in all your actions, words, and thoughts. They are our Masters: we must learn in their school. They are our Brothers: we must resemble them. They are our Fathers: we must imitate them. Let their lives be models for ours. Let not their admirable lessons be one day a subject of confusion to us, nor expose us to a late repentance for having disdained to follow such sure and lofty guidance."—Extract of Letter from St. Bernard to his Sister.
