I wish … I could be a worthy apostle of my Lord

We are missionaries and as such must be ready for anything to contribute to the salvation of souls and the coming of the Kingdom of God on earth.

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  

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.

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.

Leave with courage, not only with courage, but with intimate joy, joy that must come to you from the consciousness of having chosen the best part, of going in God's name, by God's will, with the authority that comes from God to continue the most divine work among the divine of the salvation of souls.

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!

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.

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