Ebook The Last Years of Saint Paul

The name of Saint Paul, once more made use of to adorn the titlepage of this work, makes it, as it were, the second volume of his life. It was fitting to set it in such strong relief; for, though the Apostle no longer stands before us alone in the labors of these his last years, still, as ever, he continues to play the principal part in word and in deed; above all, it is now, and only now, that he rises to that supreme height of virtue which was destined to set the seal of Heaven upon his sanctity.
