We Should Start With Love.pdf Imagine perfection on a high mountain. A Christian is told, you have to climb the mountain of God. There are difficulties and sacrifices as we climb; we slip and fall. There are so many difficulties on the way to perfection! Another one says, this is too long; I will succeed only at the end of my life. Instead, he uses wings and flies. The first one walks, exercising virtues, working out perfection to the smallest detail. This is long, very long, walking slowly and reaching perfection onl Click below to view the whole content continue reading |

What Is the Society and What We Owe It.pdf There will be no spiritual direction on the day of the retreat; it is too short and wrong timing. You cannot talk about your retreat in direction, since it is not finished. On that day, the professed should meet their superior, and the novices, their novice mistress, for guidance. I will see you the following day. Then you can report on all that was said to you, and what we dealt with. Then I will give you direction. Come in the morning, the best time, but don’t come all together as you Click below to view the whole content continue reading |

It seems that she really loves our Lord Jesus Christ and understands him a little. She has to make many big sacrifices. Click below to view the whole content continue reading |

You Come from God. The Work of Adoration is Everything.pdf A virtue is recognized by its strength; through practice, it gains strength. Since we humans are limited, we take time to rest. God limited us to show us that we are weak in ourselves. The spiritual life is the same. This life of grace and love gains strength through practice; it also has need of strength and rest.

You Come from God.pdf We must thank the Good Lord for sending servants, we must thank the heavenly Father for sending adorers for his divine Son. The heavenly Father calls them, and Jesus Christ receives them: No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. (cf. Jn 6:44) Quite evidently, the Father must be the one to form a court for his divine Son. What is surprising is that the vocations that we were expecting and hoping for do not come; if they do come, they bring us headaches.
