Hi Clovis, I've read the first few paragraphs and I love it!

I reckon this is where the phrase 'down in the dumps' originated. The personal charisma of the Saint already makes its way known to the reader.

Book 2 dealing with the life of St Benedict and book 4 dealing with the departure of the soul and eternal are particularly good.

Made it to Chap. 7 so far.

Thank you so much, Clovis. I havn't loved anything so much since the little Flowers of St. Francis ages ago.
