What reading level is Memorials of the Blessed a Series of Short Lives of the Saints book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its greatest glory is that it has never needed to be reformed, having steadfastly maintained the original fervor of spirit which inspired its foundation. It commanded the admi- ration even of the infidel scoffer, Voltaire, and at the pres- ent time noiselessly goes on its course of self-abnegation and humble devotion, illustrating the power of divine grace, and rebuking the loud and restless spirit of the world. The Grande Chartreuse is still inhabited by St. Bruno's devout and mortified childr...en, and resounds with SAINT BEUNO. 99 the chant of God's praises as it did nearly eight centuries ago. At Rome, amid the ruins of that mighty monument of heathen luxury and of the patient toil of the captive, persecuted Christians, the baths of Diocletian, the great hall of which was converted by the genius of Michael Angelo into one of the most sumptuous churches in the world, the spiritual children of St. Bruno commemorate their master by their imitation of his shining virtues. Into those spacious cloisters the vanity and ambition of the world never penetrate : the only sounds which break that consecrated repose are the songs of the birds that inhabit the trees within the enclosure, and the melody of bubbling fountains which symbolize, in their pure and sparkling flow, that fountain of divine grace, which, in holy Bru- no's heart, was ever springing up to everlasting life.
