Mother Mary de Sales Chappuis, Superior of the Visitation Monastery in both Paris and Troyes, France in the mid-1800’s, was also the inspiration for the foundation of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales through Blessed Louis Brisson.
From a conference Mother Chappuis gave:
“At the coming of the Savior, let us just see with what virtues we shall go forth to meet Him, what virtues we shall present to Him,when we kneel to adore Him. Meekness and humility are His chosen virtues, He tells us to learn them of Him, we shall be pleasing to Him, not by austerity of life, not by great actions, not by an extraordinary manner of acting, but by meekness and humility, by meekness of heart towards our neighbor, by humility towards God, our neighbor and ourselves.”
