Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of Sacrifice: And the Life of Sacrifice in the Religious State After the Priesthood, the life of the monk or nun Is the brightest ornament of the Chm-ch of Jesus Christ. We may say of it what one of the Fathers in the first ages of Christianity said of virginity: "It is the fairest, most glorious fruit of divine grace; a work perfect and unblemished, worthy to be extolled and magnified, a mirror in which the holiness of God is reflected here below, the most glorious gift of Christ to His flock, the joy of the Church." No wonder, then, that so lovely and attractive a theme should have inspired the pen of a great number of writers. How delightful it is to work for the souls whom Our Lord loves with a special predilection! How exalted a task to promote the sanctification of those favored ones who, provided they correspond to the wondrous grace vouchsafed to them, afford abundant consolation to the heart of their divine Spouse, and abundant edification to holy Church, their Mother, whose most illustrious children they are!
