23
We should be cordial and affable with the poor, and with persons in humble circumstances. We should not treat them in a supercilious manner. Haughtiness makes them revolt. On the contrary, when we are affable with them, they become more docile and derive more benefit from the advice they receive. — St. Vincent de Paul.
24
Let not confusion for thy fault overwhelm thee with despair, as if there were no longer a remedy. — St. Catherine of Siena.
25
As all our wickedness consists in turning away from our Creator, so all our goodness consists in uniting ourselves with Him. — St. Alphonsus.
26
That which we suffer in the accomplishment of a good work, merits for us the necessary graces to insure its success. — St. Vincent de Paul.
27
We ought to have a special devotion to those saints who excelled in humility, particularly to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who declares that the Lord regarded her on account of her humility. — St. Vincent de Paul.
