Our Holiness Should Be Known Only To God

...Those whom they think they edified or converted to penance by their discourse were actually edified or converted by God through the prayers of the holy brothers who were completely ignorant of it; God wishes it this way for fear it should be grounds for pride for them. Behold my Knights of the Round Table: the brothers who hide in abandoned and secluded places to devote themselves with more fervor to prayer and meditation, to weep over their sins and those of others. Their holiness is known to God, but most often unknown to the brothers and to men.
