Maxims of Sr. Dolores

Maxims of Sister Dolores

  • Sisters, be prudent, but patient and mild,
  • Treat kindly each frail, trusting child;
  • Learn from the heart of our Saviour so sweet
  • How to be firm and yet gentle and meek.
  • Stop not at trifles to grieve and repine,
  • Bear wrongs with patience for this is divine;
  • Bear for the love of our crucified Lord
  • Each daily care, and each sharp bitter word.
  • Remember in all trials that God’s will is best
  • And that life’s rugged pathway leadeth to rest.
