Mother Maddalena wrote to her sister: “I feel like laughing for writing what I have had in mind. You too may laugh at it, but pray that I may put my thought into execution. Exalted Virgin, Mother pure, In charity all vested, Pray, join our hearts with chain secure Of holy love, well tested. Are you pleased with it? It must be the holy kind of love. Hence, let us love one another in a holy manner; let us join ourselves together with that sweet chain, all being united in love with those Most Sacred Hearts which have suffered so much for us.
