Father, it is better to suffer like this

To live a simple, unpretentious life, happy to be who we are.

Let us not let the opportunity pass to perform acts of humility, simplicity, gentleness and sisterly charity

The ardent desire for missionary life was nevertheless fixed in my mind and was tormenting me day and night. M. Igilda

We have truly to wait “with the lamp filled with oil and shining”, because, when we are not expecting it, our Lord will come to lead us to work in His Vineyard.

It is necessary to wake up and establish the missionary feeling in the souls, then the world will change, and each Christian will be an apostle in his turn!

When the missionary has completed his missionary rounds and retires to the capital of his district, how much peace, how much silence and tranquillity he enjoys! How long he then lingers with the Lord who is there in the Tabernacle of his little church, who is there primarily for him!

I have repeatedly offered myself to Jesus for all that he wants of me. I feel a great desire for holiness, and I have a clear un-derstanding of my own nothingness

Mary will be our sure guide to God, to be able to live our consecration always better for the mission.
