Summary

This quote acknowledges that modesty is an intrinsic quality in human nature, but it is not present in children from the beginning. Modesty in individuals emerges when they become aware of the concept of evil or moral wrongs. It suggests that as children develop and gain knowledge about moral principles, they gradually begin to understand the importance of modesty and its role in distinguishing between right and wrong.

As each Sister is to become a Co-Worker of Christ in the slums, each ought to understand what God and the Missionaries of Charity expect from her. Let Christ radiate and live his life in her and through her in the slums. Let the poor, seeing her, be drawn to Christ and invite him to enter their homes and their lives. Let the sick and suffering find in her a real angel of comfort and consolation. Let the little ones of the streets cling to her because she reminds them of him, the friend of the little ones.
