You should have continual conversation with your guardian angel. About everything. Especially in difficulties and when you cannot get across to someone. He always helps.
The angels
always come.
The voice of
God is silence.
It is not
what we say, but what we live. It is not what we do, but what we are.
Love is
always on the cross. Because Christ is on the cross.
If coal is
not “beaten”, can it become diamond?
The Lord
allows those who love Him to be tested, first, so that their faith in Him may
grow stronger, and second, to set an example for those around.
Some
people want to go to the Resurrection without passing by way of Gologatha.
We become
a reflection of Heaven by saying: ‘Thy will be done on Earth as it is in
Heaven’.
If you
have love for all the world, the whole world is beautiful.
If you do
not get rid of “No” and “Tomorrow” from your life, you will never get to where
the Lord wants you, Who grants you everything. He will give you the bodily
strength when you answer “Yes” and “Now”. The prophets, the angels and the
saints all said, “Behold here I am… Let it be according to Your word.”
True
prayer always reaches heaven. The angels carry it to the right place and the
answer comes. Its basis is Truth, and “Not My will, but that of the Father Who
sent me.”
Even if we
are doing something very important, such as Praying, we should open our door
when someone knocks. As the Saint says, pretend that you were not at prayer and
do not send him away. Open your door and tell him: “Come in, brother”. When we
have reached the point of thinking like that, of thinking only of our brother
and not of our own self, our joy becomes permanent. And as we have become the
mirror in which the other one sees his own reflection, if this mirror is
filled with joy, he will surely see that too … This is most essential. You see, I lived many years in India –
a very poor country, oppressed, suffering, ignorant of Christ. Well, let us
take now a country where Christ is known, such as Switzerland or France. As
soon as you alight from the train, you see nothing but sullen, worried faces.
They all look anxious!. What has happened here?. The sense of joy has been
lost. This is very serious indeed!. In India, they are awaiting Christ and
this waiting is joyful. We “have” Him, but do not reflect Him. We are guilty
for this. Terribly guilty … Still, you should know – and I will say it once
again – that when you submit yourselves entirely to the Power and Love of God,
you will comprehend that everything – listen well, EVERYTHING, in capital
letters – is done either because God Wills it or because God Permits it. There
is no third version!. Therefore, since God Wills it, I accept it with all my
heart; since God Permits it, again I accept it with the same joy. For He has
His reasons – it is a training … Never dare ask “why”. NEVER!. Because he who
asks “why”, writes “I”. And where there is an “I”, there can be neither
progress nor hope.
Say
prayer-ropes also just with “Thank you”.
The angels
always come. You should have continual conversation with your guardian angel.
About everything. Especially in difficulties and when you cannot get across to
someone. He always helps.
When it is in
God’s programme for you to go somewhere, you will go. That is why I am
generally quiet in life. I have observed that even if a person does not want
to, God moves him.
Never expect anybody to understand you.
Only God.
My wishes: may the grace of our Christ, the
love of the omnipotent Father and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit be with
you! May your example be the life of the Mother of God, who will lead you at
every step with her archangels and angels as your heavenly mother; that you
love your mother who brought you into life and brought you up, and may you give
love and joy first to her, and then to all who come near you.
