| "All who wish to embrace the Community of the
Sisters of Charity must be animated with a desire to renounce every
worldly object, to give glory to God, to save their own souls, to
instruct and assist and edify their neighbor, to build up and
sustain by every means in their power that beauteous Church of God
on earth of which they ought to be the shining ornaments. . . . As
poverty of spirit, which is humility or the total denial of one's
self, is the foundation of the Religious life, so is the Godlike
virtue of Charity its crowning ornament and perfection. Charity is
but the result of the three great Religious virtues. " ... is
a quote from the preface.
