This is quote from ?? describing Catherine's actions.
"On the day of her death our Revered Foundress spoke as a loving mother to each of the Sisters; her first and last injunction to all was to preserve union and peace among themselves, adding that if they did, they should enjoy great happiness, so that they would often wonder whence such happiness came."
We can have differences of opinion and still be cordial and caring for the other. When we write off a person just because of a disagreement about some topic, we also write off God who is present in all persons. Are there people you avoid or shun because of their opinions?
Our tradition urges us to consider every aspect of life a blessing. and that means every person as well.
Today let's ask to hear more of where the person is coming from so that we can understand better their heart and mind. And may you have such great happiness and peace that you "wonder whence such happiness came."
