St Paul, and all the other Apostles, excelled in all virtues and demonstrated each one of them heroically. As a result, God established them as examples an models of the perfection of these virtues so that everyone, according to their status of life, might strive to imitate them. St Paul had the same nature as we have, the same human body and soul. Therefore what he did we also can do, by the grace of Christ, which God, as he granted to Paul also grants to each of the faithful who ask it of Him and who endeavors to confirm faithfully to it.  In this book the Author offers praises gathered from many sources, in particular he depicts the virtues and works of St Paul and of the Apostles whereby we may better contemplate them, admire them and imitate them.
