“The
Company can’t subsist without the virtue of humility. When this
virtue is lacking in a Company, each one thinks about his own
particular ministry, and this leads to partiality, schism, and
destruction. If Missioners should ask for one thing from God, it’s
humility. They should be sad and weep when they receive applause, for
Our Lord has said: Vae cum benedixerint vobis homines. Cursed shall
you be, when men shall praise you”. (Abelly III, 190)
