Read the reflection on the 21st General Chapter

If we love God, we will undoubtedly love our neighbour also; they are as cause and effect.

Retreat Instructions, p.147

This is your life, joys and sorrow mingled, one succeeding the other.

Letter to Francis Warde

If the love of God really reigns in your heart, it will quickly show itself in the exterior.

Retreat Instructions, p. 145

May God bless the poor Sisters of Mercy and make them very humble that they may not be unworthy of the distinguished blessings God has bestowed upon them.

Letter to Elizabeth Moore

[God] knows I would rather be cold and hungry than the poor in Kingston or elsewhere should be deprived of any consolation in our power to afford.

Letter to Teresa White
