Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin of the Order of Our Lady of Charity or Its History: From Its Foundation Its the Until the Revolution; Translated From the French of Father Joseph Mary Ory, Priest of the Congregation of Jesus and Mary Reverend Father - You have revealed to us the precious treasures that are enclosed in the archives of Our Lady of Charity, and which have been unknown up to the present, except in some houses of the Order. It will be a joy for all the Religious of this Institute to read in your beautiful work the history of those who were their Mothers, and whom you have presented us as their models. They will appreciate better the happiness of their sublime vocation, when they have found through you the place of honor their holy Order occupies in the Church of Jesus Christ. Filled with a just admiration for those elect souls you have made known to them, they will endeavor to emulate their virtue; and in remembrance of the heroism and the sanctity of Sisters M. of the Assumption de Taillefer, M. of the Infant Jesus de Bois-David, M. of the Nativity Herson, M. of the Trinity Heurtant, etc., they shall grow yet more devoted to those poor children, who seek them in their cloister, and here find a refuge and a shelter. The glory of the Blessed John Eudes can only receive a new brilliancy by the publication of your work. You tell us, indeed, of His merciful condescension for repentant sinners, and you recount to us how he drew from the Sacred Heart of Jesus those sentiments of goodness and compassion wholly divine. But, at the same time you tell us of the obstacles that his zeal had to surmount, and the incessant battles that his constancy had to wage against others, in order to protect and strengthen the first steps of the new Order. By your simple recital, without pretension and rich in facts, you oblige the reader to cry out: Truly the Finger of God is there! Your sweetest recompense will be to have shown in the virgins, protectresses and repairers of chastity one of the most admirable works of Catholic charity, and in their pious founder one of the most fearless interpreters of the mercy of the Heart of Jesus. Deign to accept, Reverend Father, the expression of my thanks; and my heartiest commendation for your work, and the assurance of my most fraternal attachment in Sanctissimo Corde.
