"What would it be like if Our Lord were as exacting with you as you are with the children?" (Mother Aloysia Hardey, Assistant General, Society of the Sacred Heart 1809-1886)
Our loving-kindness with ourselves is the source of our loving-kindness to others. When we develop this consciousness within our self and toward our self, then we can offer genuine, Christ-like love, tolerance and compassion to others. This is the true work (and reward) of our life.
