The Power And The Glory (1925)

Excerpt

While this book is going through the press there comes the cable announcement from Rome of the beatification of Isaac Jogues, John de Brébeuf, Gabriel Lalemant and five other Jesuit oruests who were martyred in Canada in the days of Louis XIV of France. Pope Pius, carried in the Sedia Gestatoria, “descended into St. Peter's, which was crowded by sixty thousand people, and knelt and venerated the new beatified priests.”
