Here is a long but good and interesting read from the Butler's Lives of the Saints on St. Charles Borromeo.
Here are some great quotes to live by from St. Charles!
† Be sure that you first preach by the way you live. If you do not, people
will notice that you say one thing, but live otherwise, and your words will
bring only cynical laughter and a derisive shake of the head.
† Behold Jesus Christ crucified, Who is the only foundation of our hope;
He is our Mediator and Advocate; the victim and sacrifice for our sins. He is
goodness and patience itself; His mercy is moved by the tears of sinners, and
He never refuses pardon and grace to those who ask it with a truly
contrite and humbled heart.
† If we wish to make any progress in the service of God we must begin
every day of our life with new eagerness. We must keep ourselves in the presence
of God as much as possible and have no other view or end in all our actions but
the divine honor.
