"Our Lord's sufferings made his words fruitful, and your crosses will do the same to the holy seed that you sow in your hearts." ~ St. Louise de Marillac
Sometimes, Lord, I fail to see your loving hand in the events of each day, especially the painful ones. When will I learn to rely on you and not on myself?
I cannot restrain myself and must tell you quite simply that this gives me renewed, greater desires to be able, in the midst of my petty infirmities, to go and finish my life near a bush, working in some village. I think I would be very happy to do so, if God were pleased to grant me this grace (V:204).

You have enough to put up with from outsiders and from your duties without creating new trials within the community. These are the most distressing ones and would make of your house a little purgatory, whereas love will make of it a little paradise (V:169).

The duty of daughters of Our Lord who live and serve Him together and have only one same intention of making themselves pleasing in the eyes of God, is to cherish, help, and bear with one another while showing mutual respect (V:169).

You are Daughters of Charity, but you would no longer be so if you lived amid misunderstanding, aversion, or mistrust of one another. God grant that this may not be the case among you (V:169).
