July 25, 1825 ~ Philippine writes to Madeleine Sophie Barat: "We have just celebrated the feast of St. Mary Magdalen, which recalls such tender memories. We tried to rejoice in spirit with all our Mothers and Sisters in France, trusting to the Heart of Jesus our love and wishes. Mass, Holy Communion, and a little extra recreation were all that circumstances permitted us by way of celebration, but we do not want any house in the Society to surpass us in heartfelt affection and devotion to our loved Mother General."
