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

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!

The fervour of a missionary's life, his regular, knowledgeable, industrious, untiring activity, the unalterable joy of his life and his perseverance in his work, even in the midst of hardships, travails and difficulties, are always the result of a life of faith

I wish … I could be a worthy apostle of my Lord. M. Igilda

Let us keep always in our mind the vision of this great Opera that we, so small and unworthy, are waiting for and let us work in such a way that the waiting may help us to become more and more holy.

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 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

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

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!
