Excerpt from The Life of Blessed John Eudes Eudes and the triduums of thanksgiving celebrated in his honour by his'sons, the Eudist Fathers, and by his spiritual daughters, the Congregation of Our Lady of Refuge and the Nuns of the Good Shepherd, have fixed the attention of the faithful on this great servant of God, who was almost unknown to them before, though he lived at the same time as St. Vincent de Paul, St. John Francis Regis, and others whose names are dear and familiar to us all. It is hoped that the following pages will help to make bis name also dear and familiar. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
