Be holy, and urge all your confrères to be holy (…). Be holy as Jesus was holy; it is the one and only means of redeeming and sanctifying souls. Let the Spirit of Jesus animate all your actions; let Him shape every sentiment of your soul; let Him soften and moderate every impulse of sharpness in the mind, every harsh or rigid feeling of the heart — in a word, everything passionate or disordered within the soul (…). May He communicate to your heart the gentleness and humility of which the divine Master has given us the example.
