All the perils and grievous falls which have happened in this world have arisen from nothing else but the uplifting of the head - that is, of the mind - by pride. - Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi
Blessed the man who is patient with his neighbor's shortcomings as he would like him to be if he were in a similar position himself. - Writings of St. Francis
Joy is a need for us and a source of strength, even physically. A Sister who cultivates a spirit of joy feels less tired and is always ready to do good. A Sister who is filled with joy preaches without preaching. A joyful Sister is like a ray of the sunshine of God's love, the hope of an eternal joy, the flame of an ardent love. - Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
