To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If all Superiors would act in this manner, all their sub- jects would become saints; the disorder and disturr bance noticeable in convents arise from a want of pru- dence. Where there is confusion, there is the devil, and where the devil is, Otod is not." Here, most unfortunately, this excellent instruction is broken ofif. What prudence, what moderation, what knowledge of the human heart in this simple rule ! One ahnost believes that he is listening to a venerable, ex- perienced, priestly ascet...ic, and not to a simple young lay-brother. One is reminded of St. Jane Frances de Chantal, who in the attractive manner which she has learnt from her spiritual Father, instructs a Superior as follows : "Your office my dear daughter, is the office of a Mother of a family Your solicitude should be assiduous, yet gentle. Make your daughters pious so far as lies in your power ; their welfare depends on this; for if they find pleasure in being familar Avith God, they will become reserved and mortified.
