Well, we shall be the poor fisher women

The excavations for the foundations of buildings are filled up with building materials; those of the Works of God must be filled with daily sacrifices accepted and accomplished with love.

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.

Missionary life, to be fecund for good, must be modelled on the Eucharistic life of Jesus in the Holy Tabernacle.

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

Let us make use of all possible means of prayer and sacrifices to win the divine Mercy and so see our great hopes realised. M. Igilda

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!

I have found near the Tabernacle the strength I needed. I felt in prayer and surrender to God a new impulse, a deep desire for not leaving a stone unturned.

To live a simple, unpretentious life, happy to be who we are.
