15th December – Saint Mary Di Rosa
I can’t go to bed with a quiet conscience if during the day I’ve missed any chance, however slight, of preventing wrongdoing or of helping to bring about some good. What I recommend to you, children, is great charity. Be charitable first to one another, then to the poor sick women. In your work, only aim for the glory of the Lord; you should work for Him and Him alone; while assisting the sick, consider not the creature but the Lord's own Person. Give all the prescribed time to the exercises of piety. Be accurate in the observance of the holy Rules, down to the last minute. Take care of even the smallest things, especially any lack of charity - Saint Mary Di Rosa
