More DescriptionIn simple sincerity a man of God tells of his intimate knowledge of another man of God, as St. Bonaventure wrote of St. Francis of Assisi. The greatness of both as men of high estate, spiritual and temporal, is hidden in the simplicity of the one and of the other. A Secretary of State looks at the Vicar of Christ through the eyes of his admiring affection for his saintly master. Cardinal Merry del Val serves and imitates Pius X.This little book of personal memories will charm and attract all who read it. The devotion and love of the aristocratic secretary reflect the qualities of the humble peasant who was raised to the highest dignity on earth; the two became united in the service and following of their Divine Master. Outwardly they were contrasted: their inward spirit became more and more identified. The simple epitaph on the tomb of Cardinal Merry del Val in the Crypt of St. Peter's explains the bond of their supernatural intimacy: Da mihi animas ccetera tolle.
