It has been said that: "True freedom is found when we recognise and accept our need for unity and for separateness." (Sr Stanislaus Kennedy). In her Rule for the Company of St Ursula, Angela respected the uniqueness of each person and their need to freely make their life choice. At the same time she provided them with the support of the other members of the Company. She urged the members of the Company to value unity. In her Last counsel she wrote:
"Live in harmony, united together, all of one heart and one will.".
