If you hope to progress in prayer, you must learn to wait … all your life must be a continuous waiting, like that of Anna and Simeon. - Emmanuel d'Alzon

This biography of Fr. d’Alzon was written to commemorate the centennial of the founding of the Augustinians of the Assumption. In it, the author is clearly inspired by Fr. d’Alzon’s courage and heroism as a man of God, committed to Christ and the Church in post-revolutionary France of the nineteenth century and the anti-clerical government of the Third Republic.
