Excerpt from The Practice of Christian and Religious Perfection, Vol. 1 of 3
From Monterei he was removed to Valladolid, to fill the office of domestic casuist in the house of the professed fathers: thence he was summoned to Montilla to instruct the novices, and continued to perform this duty for more than thirty years. He was afterwards deputed to Rome to attend the fifth general congregation, where he gave illustrious proofs of his sanctity, prudence, and knowledge of the rules and constitutions of the society. From Rome he returned to Spain, and became Spiritual Father in the college of Cordova. It was during his sojourn here, that, having principally in view to promote the advancement in solid virtue of the entire body of the society, he wrote those admirable treatises on Christian Perfection, to which the Holy Ghost has imparted such unction, that, read again and again, they never tire. Having gone to Seville, in the year 1606, to assist at a provincial congregation, he was ordered by his superiors to remain there, and was placed once more over the novices. He continued at Seville till his death, devoting his leisure moments to the revisal of his writings previous to their publication.
