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.

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
