God is everything and everything is in His hands

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.

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  

it is in God’s plan to choose the least suitable instruments to fulfill His designs, in order to make us understand that, it is He who works making use of humble and useless instruments to realize the great Work

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

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

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

The Lord chooses whom He wants for His Works. He does not need either our talents or our external gifts. Rather, He chooses most unsuitable persons to show that it is He who works, and makes those very works flourish. M. G. Dones

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