The ardent desire for missionary life was nevertheless fixed in my mind

If the missionary is a man of faith, how many graces can he then obtain for himself and for the souls entrusted to him, how many graces can he store up to bring his projects to a successful conclusion, to make his apostolic endeavours prosper!

It is necessary to sanctify ourselves; the farther we go on the way of holiness, the greater will be the good we will be able to do among our brothers, even only by example and prayer.

Jesus is everything to us, and Jesus is in the Holy Eucharist. So what can we lack? If we lack anything, is it not because we keep ourselves far from Him, who is the source of all graces? From these simple words you draw the consequences.

God is everything and everything is in His hands. If He wants, He will open the way, He will remove all difficulties, or better, He will give us the strength to face them without retreating.

Missionary! A mysterious word which had the magical power of dispelling every uncertainty, of awakening better hopes.

Now we are twelve; this number reminds us of the twelve apostles and this must please Jesus. Didn’t he start with twelve fishermen? Well, we shall be the poor fisher women. 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.

May Baby Jesus bring to your heart the true light and the peace which the mouth of the angels announced to the people of good will. M. G. Dones
