EYMARDGINALIA (Thoughts and Words of St. Peter Julian Eymard) November 1, 2014 - Saturday of the 30th Wk in OT I was so sorry, dear daughter, that I couldn’t answer you right away. I was scheduled to preach at Notre Dame des Victoires for All Saints’ Day. Then yesterday, my whole day was taken up with visitors. So, today, I am hurrying to begin with you. Our poor Third Order is causing you so much suffering! Oh! That really disturbs me. Human beings become so ungrateful, weak, and vacillating when weighed down by difficulties! I really don’t understand Father Superior General. I had been told that he really had the good of the Third Order at heart. Just by the nature of things, motives of greater personal interest, or of a more influential person, ordinarily lead to sacrifice or crucify what is lesser. I do approve your decision to leave office, doing so with honor, peace and charity. We should choose to do what is right, rather than try to please people. Father Eymard to Ms. Marguerite Guillot (MOTHER MARGUERITE DU SS) (Letters, vol.2 - November 3, 1856)
