King Alphonsus V of Spain was a great devotee of Mother Mary. In the year 1425, when the Hospitalof Our Lady of Grace was founded, he gave this seal as the seal of the Hospital. In the year 1804, Mother Maria Rafols and a group of young women under the direction of Fr. John Bonal administered the same hospital. The King granted the privilege to Mother Maria Rafols to use it as the seal of the Congregation of Sisters of Charity of St. Anne.

You shall keep away selfishness.
