One cannot aspire for missionary life without being trained in mortification

May God bless us, comfort us, encourage us, sanctify us: we are his, ready to work for Him, as he wants, when he wants, where he wants: We have truly to wait “with the lamp filled with oil and shining”, because, when we are not expecting it, our Lord will come to lead us to work in His Vineyard. M. Igilda

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

We are now in the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart, the month that ends with the feast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. I think we cannot do anything more suitable than to collect a precious garland of prayers and spiritual sacrifices to present them to Jesus. M. Igilda

Willingly we pray the Lord every day and for this purpose, we offer our Holy Communion so that God may grant to the Holy Father the abundance of his grace, of his enlightenment, of that supernatural peace of which the Vicar of Jesus Christ is worthy. M. Igilda

Well, we shall be the poor fisher women, a “family” whose members are truly missionary souls concerned about … the true spirit of fraternity that should unite all men on earth in a perfect charity. M. Igilda

On your part, do not let a single day pass by without offering her (Mary) a bunch of flowers composed of the virtues so dear to her: obedience, humility, charity. M. G. Dones

Cercavo di sacrificare ogni mio desiderio, qualunque piccola soddisfazione, per far compagnia ai missionari nei disagi della loro vita apostolica. Soffrire per loro, soffrire con loro. M. Igilda

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
