Ordained in 1818, he was successively a member of the Missions de France, rector of Sainte-Geneviève
and chaplain of the Infirmerie Marie-Thérèse. He joined, in 1834, the Fathers of Mercy
, newly re-organized by Father Rauzan. His love of missionary life made him decline episcopal honours and a chair at the Sorbonne
, but was no obstacle to his literary pursuits.
Besides many contributions to the Bibliographie Catholique, Caillau wrote Instructions sur l'oraison mentale (Paris, 1833), a French translation of Tertullian
's De Spectaculis (Paris, 1835), several monographs on Our Lady's Sanctuaries: Roc-Amadour (1834), Loretto (1843), N.D.
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.
A friendship that can be ended didn't ever start.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
A friend loves at all times, and kinsfolk are born to share adversity.
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
It is amazing how you can surround yourself with so many people you can call friends, and yet actually only have one or two real ones.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter;he who finds one finds a treasure.A faithful friend is beyond price,no sum can balance his worth.
Friendship is not for merriment but for stern reproach when friends go astray.
