"If [a priest] comes to a sickbed, into the poisoned air and walks
toward to contagious disease — it is repugnant to him, yet only
he will succeed to approach the glowing wick and to straighten out the
crushed reed."

Cheerful
Ascetic
The Life of Francis Xavier Seelos, C.Ss.R.
If laughter is proverbially the best medicine, then the example of the CHEERFUL ASCETIC is an elixir for the Christian soul.
Meet the CHEERFUL ASCETIC, Father Francis Xavier Seelos, a 19th century Redemptorist missionary priest. Many miracles are attributed to Father Seelos' intercession, both during his life and after his death in 1867. His life and virtues have been approved by the church as heroic and he was the only North American to be declared Blessed in the Jubilee Year 2000.
This revised and updated edition captures the totality of Father Seelos' piety and personality and links us to a Powerful Intercessor that we can realistically identify with, and hopefully emulate.
