#AG2015FdlCVII




[I want to honor] the glory which the holy humanity of Our Lord receives in heaven, remembering the way in which He lived on earth, with the desire to imitate Him.

The awareness of the dignity of this most Holy Sacrament should make us realize our powerlessness to prepare adequately to receive Him.

Spiritual Writings, M.72, p.822

How fortunate you are…to have so many sick to serve! Oh, how evident it is that God loves you since He provides you with so many opportunities to serve Him!



#AG2015FdlCXVI




Our Lord is your strength and your consolation, and His example is a source of encouragement for you.



#AG2015FdlCXVII




I beg the goodness of Our Lord to dispose our souls for the reception of the Holy Spirit so that, burning with the fire of His holy love, you may be consumed in the perfection of this love which will enable you to love the most holy will of God.



#AG2015FdlCXVIII




Renew then… your first fervor. Begin by a true desire to please God, recalling that His Providence has brought you to the place where you are established and has united you so that you can help one another to grow in perfection.



#AG2015FdlCXIX




Total dependence on Divine Providence… is one of the virtues which God clearly requires of us in order to insure the preservation of the Company.

Spiritual Writings, A.75, p.768-769


#AG2015FdlCXX




However, the support we owe to one another should prevent us from noticing the weaknesses of our sisters, except if we are able to help them.



#AG2015FdlCXXI




Let us prefer the will of our sisters to our own, when their desires are not contrary to the holy will of God.



#AG2015FdlCXXII




With all my heart I wish you the joy and interior consolation of a soul that is lovingly submissive to the most holy will of God.



#AG2015FdlCXXIII




I am entirely yours, most Holy Virgin, that I may more perfectly belong to God. Teach me, therefore, to imitate your holy life by fulfilling the designs of God in my life.



#AG2015FdlCXXIV




It would be well if every morning each sister would individually pray… for the blessing of our good God in order that they might act in the manner of His Son while He was on earth as they carry out the works of charity to which they have been called. Better yet, they should pray that the same Spirit that acted in Him should act through them.



#AG2015FdlCXXV




Help us to thank God for the goodness of Divine Providence in watching over the Company.



#AG2015FdlCXXVI




Remember… that you must take great care to help them to know and love Our Lord.



#AG2015FdlCXXVII




We have the double happiness of being Daughters of the holy Church and, being admitted in this manner, will this not be a new obligation for us to live and to act as children of such a Mother?



#AG2015FdlCXXVIII




Be very gentle and courteous toward your poor. You know that they are our masters and that we must love them tenderly and respect them deeply.



#AG2015FdlCXXIX




It seemed to me that in order to be faithful to God we must live in great union with one another. Since the Holy Spirit is the union of the Father and the Son, the life which we have freely undertaken must be lived in this great union of hearts. This will prevent us from becoming annoyed by the actions of others and enable us to bear with one another and to live together with cordiality and gentleness.
