“And I entreat her who shall be in office, that she strive to precede the other Sisters more by virtue and holy behavior, than by her office, so that, touched by her example, they obey her, not so much from a sense of duty, as from love.”
Mary Francis, A Right To Be Merry

“How would you alter the expression of a covenant on parchment? It could be by adding words that were not originally there. Or it could be by obliterating words in favor of other words. For instance, we might add the word “sometimes”. This would be to alter the covenant. We could add “when possible” to the covenant of obedience, of poverty, of chaste love, of spiritual life. We could alter the covenant by a very small word: “if”. We could alter the covenant by adding the words “when convenient”.”
Mary Francis, A Time of Renewal: Daily Reflections for the Lenten Season

“A muscle that is not growing stronger every day from being used is growing weaker. A mind that is not exercised every day is not remaining on its own level of intelligence but growing weaker. Every force within us either grows in vigor and expands, or it grows more languid and diminishes. This is true above all of love. This is the only way that we don’t take back our love: by allowing it to grow every day.”
