Avoid any exaggeration in your relationship with God. Make your activity a meditation; you will succeed in this if you see Christ in the children and others with whom you work. You accept in them Christ, who wants to grow in you, who has been in all since holy baptism.
Can I trust you with this? – I meditate best amid the hustle and bustle while caring for the sick. “I was sick, and you took care of me.” The sick bodies of my patients are, for me, the body of Jesus, whom I may touch in unspeakable happiness.
(P. Albert Peyriguere /1883–1959/, letter to a religious sister - teacher, October 21, 1957)
