Make now to thyself friends, by honouring the saints of God, and imitating their actions; that when thou shalt fail in this life, they may receive thee into everlasting dwellings.
-Bk. I, ch. xxiii.
____________
I stood before the Angels and Saints and addressed them in these words: I am the least of all creatures, I know my great need, but I also know that noble and generous hearts love to do good: therefore I beseech of you, O blessed citizens of Heaven, to adopt me as your child. Whatever glory I may acquire will redound to yours. Hear my prayer and obtain for me a double measure of your love.
-The Story of a Soul (L'Histoire d'une Âme).
