LIFE OF SAINT GERARD MAJELLA

              rejoiced  in  the  careful  discharge  of  humble  offices,  knowing  that
              nothing is really small that is done with a single eye for the glory of
              God.
                 The Brothers whom Saint Gerard loves with a deep fraternal love
              may ever remember to their comfort that their work, of little account
              in the eyes of men, is that by which he became so great in the eyes of
              God; while it was his charity — the virtue which all who would save
              their  souls  must  practice  —  that  made  him  so  dear  to  the  Sacred
              Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and also to those — his brethren
              here  below  —  whose  lives  grew  sweet  and  pleasant  through  the
              fragrance  of  his  heavenly  and  also  of  his  human  loving-kindness.
