Page:Life and life-work of Mother Theodore Guerin Foundress.djvu/11

Rh Theodore saw the Sisters, during the sixteen years of her residence among them, increase from six to ninety-one, with institutions flourishing and doing great and permanent good. What is it that caused this great increase? It was the blessing of God, for without that her work would have remained sterile. Mother Theodore understood that, and with true humility and strong faith gave the glory to God and besought of Him the needed aid to carry on His work. Her spirit has remained with her spiritual daughters, and as long as it will remain St.-Mary-of-the- Woods will continue to prosper and yield fruit of life eternal.
