Excerpt from The Curé of Ars
His love for the Blessed Virgin was so tender and personal that those who witnessed it foresaw extraordinary favors for his soul. When he was four years old his mother gave him a little wooden statue of the Madonna, and he took it to his heart like a living friend, fondling it and taking great care of it, and going to it for comfort in all his childish troubles. If he hurt himself, or if any small grief befell him, his brothers and sisters had only to give him the little Madonna and his tears ceased at once. His love for Our Lady had come to him as naturally as his love for his mother. In after years a priest said to him one day: You have a great love for the Blessed Virgin? He replied: I have loved her ever since I can remember. And to the end of his life he recalled the pang it cost him when his mother told him to give his Rosary to an elder sister who coveted it. I obeyed, he said; but what bitter tears I shed in parting with my little beads! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
