, If a spark of God's love has already been kindled in you, do not boast about it. Do not expose it to the wind. Close the door of your heart so that it does not grow cold.
Remember that at home and everywhere else, you should accept other people's shortcomings in the same way that you want others to accept you.
(About the Milan plague) It was, my children [...] God's great mercy.

Charles Borromeo was made a cardinal in 1560 at twenty-one, then Archbishop of Milan four years later. He founded the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and worked alongside Ignatius of Loyola and Philip Neri as the Catholic Church mounted its response to the Protestant break. His reforms were structural: seminaries to train priests, systems to enforce teaching, the nuts and bolts of institutional correction. He died in 1584 at forty-six and was canonized in 1610.
