This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

Love of God led him as a natural consequence to love of men. "On, ever on towards God," in his own words, "Jesus must be the stamp of our souls. When I want to learn more of His Heart, I recall the moments in my life when I have felt and understood Him best, for it is only in meditating and dwelling upon Him that one can attain any patience, humility, gentleness, detachment or love of souls, and of holy poverty. Oh, these are moments when one seems to feel one's own heart beat against His Sacred Heart." It was noticed among his friends that Pere Besson's habitual and most natural action was a little movement of his hand towards heaven, which was specially significative to those who knew him well. A religious who asked for some remembrance of Pere Besson, received the...
