St Vincent de Paul's talk to Daughters of Charity:
“Sometimes we dislike each other without knowing why. Often it's a touch of jealousy or envy. Our dislike for a Sister can come from hearing her eat or seeing her do some other action. This dislike, if we dwell on it, will inevitably lead to disunity. Oh my Daughters, do everything you can to overcome it.” [p. 90]
