The Maxims of the Little Institute

Maxim 52

Interpret all things from the best possible point of view

In English, in French it says what it says! Is this the way of Maxim 51? Always ascribe the best intentions to even the nastiest disposition?! Is this not a challenge to engage the dynamic of memory, understanding and will... learning how to seek and to find God in all things? Even asking the question, I feel douceur yearning to have a hand in this...

Do I have a personal story about this Maxim?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Maxims, written by our founder, Father Jean-Pierre Medaille, in the late 1600s, are the essence of the spirituality of the Sisters of St. Joseph.

The reflections here are taken from Love's Design by Marcia Allen, CSJ. There are 100 maxims in all. A new maxim will be posted each week. We invite you to read the maxim and contemplate what it is saying to you. We also invite you to join us in praying for the prayer requests listed on this page. Blessings!
