St. Louise,
Since I was studying at the school managed by the Daughter's of Charity, I always study your life that we never failed a year without disuccing your works. I was just knowing you by mind but not byheart.
As I've matured I realized that your works and compassion for the poor is agreat inspiration for all people specially me. Thank you for enlightening me and being such a good inspiration with all your generous works. I pray that my children will do the same goodness to the poor as I would introduce you to them.
