About Me
The secret of Franz' marvellous success we do not know; one may have thought it his voice, another his manner, and yet another his beautiful countenance. His piety, his fervor, his persuasive eloquence were all important aids; yet perhaps, these alone might not have swayed the masses as he swayed them.He ws master of d situation:alone,unrivalled-in a word,he was altogether irresistible. It is a marvel dat we knw so little of one so great.One of d most conspicuous figures of this time,he is yet but a shadow in d hstory f dis time-or,rather,as a bryt nd shining lyt;illusive,like a Will-o'-the-wisp;startling nd evasive,lyk d meteor.The truth is,he was not f dis world. D details of his lyf are scanty.Sme1(Leo Funa! haha!) in dis century cried out,almst n despair:"We knw not half of d beautiful actions of this great man!Most f dem hav bin allowd 2 fol into oblivion,either by reason f d deplorable carelessness of his first biographers or through lack of authentic documents." This is d more surprising wen we find the little testimony dat is preserved to us aglow wid almost boundless enthusiasm. He is lyk a fair garden fertilized by d showers of divine grace,where bloomed d sweetest flowers of Heaven,spreading around their fragrant odor. These flowers were meekness nd humility,fervor nd zeal,wisdom nd prudence.Beyond all praise were his eloquence,d gracefulness of his manners,his nobility of character,his gentleness nd kindness.In a word, he is indeed the beloved of God and men.
