How fervent were the religious when their institutions were founded! What devotions in prayer, what zeal for virtue and what strict discipline was maintained! Reverence and obedience under the rule of the Superior prospered!
The history of their deeds bears witness to their holiness and perfection by which they were able to subdue the world and trample it beneath their feet. Nowadays, he that can keep the rule and maintain patience in what he has undertaken is the thought the world of. - Thomas a Kempis
