"...the only way by which a religious can become a saint and be saved, is to observe her Rule..."
"...every religious who gives bad example by inattention to the Rule does an injury to her own soul and to her fervent companions... so the longer a religious is engaged in the meditation of Jesus crucified, the greater should be her progress in the science of the saints and in Christian perfection."
"...When manifest abuses and relaxation of discipline steal into a convent, it is not pride or temerity, but an act of virtue and zeal, to exclaim against them, and even to oppose the Superiors themselves, should such opposition be necessary for the correction of abuses."
(St. Alphonsus de Liguori)
