To want to persuade our Sisters that they are in the wrong, even when it is perfectly true, is hardly fair, as we are not responsible for their guidance. We must not be Justices of the peace, but only angels of peace.
COUNSELS AND REMINISCENCES
Jesus wills that we give alms to Him
as to one poor and needy. He puts
Himself as it were at our mercy; He will
take nothing but what we give Him from
our heart, and the very least trifle is
precious in His sight. He stretches
forth His Hand, this sweet Saviour, to
receive of us a little love, so that in the
radiant day of Judgment He may be
able to address to us those ineffable
words: "Come, ye blessed of My Father; for I was hungry, and you gave Me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; sick and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me."[1]
