The Holy Sisters
"Hail, Queen Wisdom! May the Lord preserve you, with your sister, pure and holy Simplicity. Holy Lady Poverty, may the Lord preserve you, with your sister, holy Humility. Holy Lady Charity, may the Lord preserve you, with your sister, holy Obedience." --St. Francis, Salutation of the Virtues
Francis listed the holy virtues as wisdom, simplicity, poverty, humility, charity, and obedience. He saw them as "sisters" to one another--coming from the Holy Father. Together they exemplified what it meant to follow Christ.
