We are missionaries

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!

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!

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.

What a terrible sickness this is Father! I ought not to think any more of the missions, of the missionaries. But then I would be really unhappy because I would have destroyed that which is greatest in me, most beautiful in the world; because I would have put off the very scope of my life.

Holiness is not a privilege of a few people, but a duty for all men of good will. I have decided to start living. M. Igilda

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!

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

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