"A Handmaid of Charity is, so to speak, the property of Charity. She surrenders every kind of jurisdiction and dominion over herself so that youth, health, comforts, strength, blood and life, in a word, her very essence, is laid at the service of this virtue. And should anything further remain to be given it too would be destined for charity. "
