"In a suffering soul we should see Jesus Crucified,
and not a loafer or burden on the community.
A soul who suffers with submission to the will of God
draws down more blessings on the whole convent/
household
than all the working sisters/
individuals
.
Poor indeed is a convent/
household
where there are no sick sisters/
individuals.
God often grants many and great graces out of regard for
the souls who are suffering,
and He withholds many punishments solely because of the
suffering souls."
(1268)
