“The Particular End is to carry Christ into the homes and streets of the slums, among the sick, dying, the beggars and the little street children. The sick will be nursed as far as possible in their poor homes. The little children will have a school in the slums. The beggars will be sought and visited in their holes outside the town or on the streets.

See the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence. The more we receive in silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life.”
