Story of a Soul

⁶⁴Nuns, in the spirit of poverty, avoid using the word my, as denoting private possessions; so, later on, "our lamp," "our handkerchief," will occur. [Ed.] ⁶⁵John 18:36. ⁶⁶Imit., I, ii. 4. ⁶⁷Is. 53:3. ⁶⁸Léonie, having entered an order too severe for her delicate health, had been obliged to return home to her Father. Later she became a Visitation nun at Caen, and took the name of Sister Frances Teresa. ⁶⁹Cf. Wisdom 3:5,6. ⁷⁰Ps. 89:15.
