ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON
28th August [Feast of] Saint Augustine -- and my happy Birth day…. O order my goings in Thy way that my footsteps slip not.
Knowing as I do so well your heart’s full desire to serve our Lord purely, I can say nothing to you, dearest soul, but to keep well to what you believe to be the grace of the moment. You will so often be at a stand for what is best in a situation so new, but only do your best as you always have done, and leave the rest for our dear God. (Mother Seton’s words to a Sister being sent on mission.)
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
Your strength is Divine Providence, which initiated your Company; for who has chosen you, I ask you; who has made you what you are if not God?
ST. LOUISE DE MARILLAC
May our Lord Jesus Christ bestow His Spirit upon us, so we may be so filled with His Spirit that we may do nothing or say nothing except for His glory and His holy love…O Eternal light, lift my blindness! O perfect unity, create in me simplicity of being! Humble my heart to receive your graces.
