They served the sick with the most fervent charity…
They gave them their food, they made their beds, they cleansed their tongues, they exhorted them to patience and the devout receiving of the sacraments, they suggested pious ejaculations, they recommended their souls. They performed acts of charity so intense, that it would be absurd to expect anything of the kind from even the most active of ordinary servants. Whoever saw them acting with such tenderness, easily perceived that persons of that stamp did not look at the sick simply as men, but by a living faith and ardent charity, served them as though they saw in them the very person of Jesus Christ, wounded and fainting.
