4 SPIRIT OF TEE C& OF ABB. ~his astonishing knowledge of God, of nature,and of the history of the soul? How was itthat his thoughts and expressions so often cp.incided with those of the greatest Christiangeniuses, St. Augustine, St. Bernard, St. ThomaaAquinas, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa?For example, we have often heard him saythat the heart of the saints was lipuid. Wewere much struck with this energetic expression,without suspecting that it was so theologicallyaccurate ; and we were surprised sadtouched to find, in turning over the pages ofthe Summa, that the angelical doctor assignsto love four immediate effects, of which thefirst is the liquefaction of the heart. M. Vianneyhad cehinly never read St. Thomw, whichmakes this coincidence the more remarkable;and, indeed, it is inexplicable to those who areignorant of the workings of grace, and who donot comprehend those words of the DivineMaster: '' Thou hast hid these things from thewise and prudent, and hast revealed them tolittle ones."'The Spirit of God had been pleased to en.grave on the heart of this holy priest all thathe was to know and to teach to others; and ibwns the more deeply engraved, w that h wwas the more pure, the more detached, and* St. Matt. xi. 85.
empty of the vain science of men; like a cleanand polished block of marble, ready for the toold the sculptor.The faith of the Cur6 of Ars was his wholewience; his book was our Lord Jesus Christ.He sought for wisdom nowhere but in JesusChrist, in His death and in His cross. Tohim no other wisdom was true, no other wis-dom useful. He ought it not amid the dustof libraries, not in the schoola of the learned,ht in prayer, on his knees, at his Master'sFeet, covering His Divine Feet with tears andkisses; in the presence of the holy tabernacles,where he passed his days and nights beforethe crowd of pilgrims had yet deprived him ofliberty day and night, he had learnt it all.When persons have heard him discourseupon heaven, on the Sacred Humanity of ourLord, on his dolorous Passion, His Real Presencein the most Holy Sacrament of our altars,on the Blessed Virgin May, her attractionsand her greatness, on the happiness of thesaints, the purity of the angels, the beauty ofsouls, the dignity of man,--on all those subjectswhich were familiar to him,-it often happenedto them to come out from the discourse quiteconvinced that the good father saw the thingsof which he had epoken with such fulness ofheart, with such eloquent emotion, in such
