Five Virtues: the spirit of the Mission


The spirit of the Mission is a spirit of simplicity, humility, gentleness, mortification, and zeal... a Missioner should act only by means of these virtues... Let each and every one of us strive to enclose ourselves in these five virtues, like snails in their shells, and act in such a way that all our actions savor of these virtues. The man who acts in this way will be a true Missioner. (22 August 1659; SV XII, 251)
