CANITAS CHNISTI URGET NOS
"The chariiy oI Christ presseth us."
(2 Cor.: 5, 14)
It was not without design that our venerated Founder Bishop
Ignatius Eourget chose the motto for the Institute of Providence.
St. Pau1, in his epistle io the Corinthians, stirs them io action, to a
special kind of action and with a special purpose, by his words
"Caritas Christi urget nos." Charity is a Christian virtue. It is more
than piiy, more lhan mercy, more than mere giving to the poor. it
is more than providing lor the wants of the needy. I1 is perpetuat-
ing the personality of Christ in the hearts, souls and minds of men.
The Catholic Hospital has a special mission and a sacred trusl.
It has a definite philosophy. But in all its administration, in its
nursing service, in its nursing education, in iis religious education
and practice, it must ever keep in mind the motto "The Charity of
Chrisl urges us."
Il today St. Paul's Hospital has a longer siream ol pdiients
waiiing lor admission to its shelteling care, if vocalions have multi-
plied and more vows are pronounced before the altar of our Mother
House pledging lives and labors of hospital Sisters, then all ol ihis
has been accomplished ihrough the inspiralion and help of Christ.
His charity has urged us io put lorth our greatest and besl ellorts
lor Him \Mho alone is worthy ol our hearts' compiete dedication.
