aiding the sisters in their efforts to
bring joy and sunshine to the hearts
and lives of those whom sickness and
misfortune have almost discourag ed

bless mankind by their generous acts
of love and kindness to the interests
of others. May the noble work being
done go on with its mission of love and
generous deeds.
