Let us make use of all possible means of prayer and sacrifices

Thought of M. Igilda

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

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

We make sure that, like a seed, it germinates and bears fruit in us and, thanks to its profound unity with the Eucharist, transforms us into Christ, Bread for the life of all.

I trust in you, my God, make my life a small instrument in your hands for the salvation of souls.

I tried to sacrifice every desire of mine, any little satisfaction, in order to keep company with the missionaries in the hardships of their apostolic life. To suffer for them, to suffer with them. M. Igilda  

Life is beautiful because everything is a manifestation of God’s benevolence

Father, it is better to suffer like this; it is better to be consumed slowly, insensibly by this great missionary longing rather than enjoy a relative tranquillity, without this fire which never ceases to burn.
