   breathed a sweetness which charmed everyone. Though he usually showed   
   great recollection, he sometimes thought it desirable to give proof of   
   amiability, and then he consoled all who met him, and won the love and   
   regard of whoever looked upon him. His words, gestures and actions   
   were never without great suavity and gentleness, so that it seemed   
   that this virtue had taken in him the form of man, and that he was   
   rather meekness itself than a man endowed with that quality. He, too,   
   justly merited the praise bestowed by the Holy Spirit upon Moses,   
   "that he was the meekest man of his time upon earth" And so St. Jane   
   Frances de Chantal was able to say that there was never known a heart   
   so sweet, so gentle, so kind, so gracious and affable, as his. St.   
   Vincent de Paul expressed the same sentiment, saying that he was the   
   kindest man he had ever known, and the first time he saw him, he   
   noticed in the serenity of his countenance and in his manner of   
   conversing such a close resemblance to the meekness of Christ our Lord   
   as instantly won his heart.
