These men and women worked by day and they prayed by night. Their time was always profitably spent, for even in their physical labors they turned their minds to God and considered the time in His service all too short. Often they forgot the need for food, so consoling were their contemplations.
They abandoned riches, honors, friends and families; they would have nothing of this world, scarcely even taking what was necessary for the body. Outwardly they were in need, but inwardly they were filled with grace and spiritual consolation.
