in our mission, and in my soul, something extraordinary.

How happy I am to have you around me, my dear daughters to witness the affectionate charity, the peace,

the spirit of union reigning among you… This unity is, in fact, your defence, your support, and by the strength it imparts, you will spread your branches in all directions… I do not wish it said any longer, that I am French…I belong to every country where there are souls to save.
