The prayers of Clotilde, and labors of Genevieve, the penances of the monks who peopled the forests of Gaul, had doubtless a great share in a conversion which brought such joy to the Angels. Did space allow, we might relate how it was also prepared by the great Bishops of the fifth century, Germanus of Auxerre, Lupus of Troyes, Anian of Orleans, Hilary of Arles, Memertus and Avitus of Vienne, Sidonius Apollinaris, and so many others who, in that age of darkness, held up the Church to the light of day, and commanded the respect of the Barbarians. Remigius, contemporary and survivor of most of them, and their rival in eloquence, nobility, and holiness, seemed to personify them all on that Christmast night forestalled by so many desires, prayers, and sufferings.
Nakatulong ba space payagan, maaari naming nauugnay kung paano din ito ay inihanda ng mga dakilang obispo ng ika-limang siglo, Germanus ng Auxerre, Lupus ng Troyes, Anian ng Orleans, Hilary ng Arles, Memertus at Avitus ng Vienne, Sidonius Apollinaris, at kaya marami pang iba na, sa edad na iyon ng kadiliman, gaganapin up ang Simbahan na ang liwanag ng araw, at ipinaharap ko ang paggalang ng mga barbaro. Remigius, kontemporaryo at survivor ng karamihan sa kanila, at ang kanilang mga karibal sa mahusay na pagsasalita, maharlika, at kabanalan, tila upang bigyan ng katauhan ang mga ito lahat sa na Christmast gabi forestalled sa pamamagitan ng maraming mga gusto, mga panalangin, at paghihirap.
