“Live abandoned to God and let Him treat you according to His pleasure. What does it matter if it be Golgotha, Tabor, or Gethsemane? It is enough to know that we are with Him.”
“If you carry the Cross willingly, the Cross will carry you.”
“I will go anywhere and do anything in order to communicate the love of Jesus to those who do not know Him or have forgotten Him.”
“Prayer is powerful! It fills the earth with mercy, it makes the Divine clemency pass from generation to generation; right along the course of the centuries wonderful works have been achieved through prayer.”
“They who pray with faith have fervour and fervour is the fire of prayer. This mysterious fire has the power of consuming all our faults and imperfections, and of giving to our actions, vitality, beauty and merit.”
“The world is poisoned with erroneous theories, and needs to be taught sane doctrines, but it is difficult to straighten what has become crooked.”
“Work in me, oh adorable Heart of Jesus, because you know well how incapable I am of doing perfectly everything that you want of me.”
“I trust in you, my Jesus. I place my poor soul in your hands – mold me according to your divine will.”
“My good Jesus, give me the grace to love you with all my heart and to serve you with great fidelity in this life, so that I can be a grain of sand to build up your glory for all eternity.”
Beautiful.
A few years ago the Democrats here in Colorado decided to ban Columbus Day, but to placate the Catholics, voted for a Mother Cabrini Day at about that same time in October. Stupid Democrats — they don’t like Columbus because he was a European Catholic but instead substitute a saint.
And it’s not six degrees of separation. The aunts of the old Italian priest who baptized our first four children worked for Mother Cabrini here.
Wonderful post. Thanks.
