'I see now, that true charity consists in bearing with
the faults of those about us, never being surprised at their weaknesses,
but edified at the least sign of virtue. I see above all that charity
must not remain hidden in the bottom of our hearts: "nor do men light a
lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to
all in the house." It seems to me that this lamp is the symbol of
charity; it must shine out not only to cheer those we love best but all
in the house.'
