Letter to Jean Baptiste Mille, 11 March 1841, EO IX n 726<\/em><\/p>\n

Jeancard wrote:<\/p>\n

“However, he was far from being insensitive to the temporal sufferings of his brothers. Beneath his often cold appearance, he hid a most affectionate charity for all those, especially those who were afflicted by tribulation. The poor, especially the poor, and the most abandoned and repulsive, were the object of his care. He tried, as far as possible, to alleviate their physical misery, but even more so their moral misery. It was to them that the most active care and the most frequent solicitude of his ministry was directed.<\/em><\/p>\n

He well deserved to have the motto of the Congregation applied to him. Evangelizare pauperibus misit me.<\/em><\/p>\n

His natural goodness added a charm to his charity that made him loved by all those with whom he was in contact.<\/em><\/p>\n

…. To be poorly dressed, to have only one cassock and one pair of shoes, to never ask that worn-out clothing be replaced, to eat and live like the poorest, this is what he never stopped doing. He sought to never have anything new, to wear cassocks, underwear and even hats that others had already used for a long time.”<\/em><\/p>\n
