Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Life and Virtues Considered in the Religious State, Vol. 1 Venerable Brother, Health and Apostolic Benediction. We have heard with satisfaction, through common report, that everyone is pleased to see you called to the holy honours of the Episcopate. You were known and esteemed beforehand, Venerable Brother, for the solidity of your doctrine and the active labours of your ministry. This exalted reputation was not limited to the frontiers of the Diocese of Poictiers, which had long witnessed your constant co-operation with the worthy and illustrious Bishop of that See; but it has extended farther, through your writings, which, commended by the approval of several Bishops, have been so eagerly sought by the faithful, as to necessitate new editions without delay. This eagerness was justified; for in the two volumes "On the Christian Life and Virtues," although especially destined for Religious, you have succeeded in placing the most sublime doctrines of theology within the reach of the pious and enlightened among the faithful, so that they might find therein wherewith to foster their piety suitable to their state. You have equally succeeded in your instructions from the pulpit, addressed to the "Mothers of Families," which were subsequently collected in two volumes.
