"In a December 1626 letter to one of her sisters in charge of forming young Visitation sisters, St. Jane de Chantal gives some very wise spiritual counsel that speaks to how we ought to relate to one another in a Christ-like and Salesian manner. . . .
"Jane's own spiritual friend and mentor used to speak of the 'little virtues' which everyone can practice frequently throughout the day in their relational lives with one another. In this letter, Jane is underscoring some 'little virtues' that speak directly to relationships in a religious community, but many of them speak just as well to our every relationship with family, friends, and all others."
In a recent commentary, V. Rev. Lewis S. Fiorelli, OSFS, reflected on some of these "little virtues," including deep humility and sweet charity.
