What it is

The spirituality of the Sulpician seminaries — adoration of the Word, union with Jesus, and a method of prayer taught to generations of French priests.

Why it lasted

The devotional core of modern Catholic seminary formation, exported to Canada and the United States by Sulpician houses.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
