1 If we meditate on the Passion of Our Lord we will realize that the great business of life is to grow like our

Lord we will see that what makes us suffer is a gift from God.

2 Always keep the spirit that marked our beginnings: there was an open-heartedness, a simple kindness
among us.

3 Become humble and you will be simple

4 Prayer is the foundation of our life… the greates of all means of doing good is that of praying a great deal.

5 All to God for others, all to obedience for God, all for other5s for God's sake, but never anything for myself.

6 You are with me, Lord my God. What goodness and mercy You show to a miserable creature likewise for
You deign to stay near me and sometimes allow me to feel You presence in my heart.

7 God calls me to just one thing: the necessity of allowing the Spirit of Jesus Christ to live and act in me.
   
8 I should have a great confidence because God always comes to my aid…He has never allowed me to be
violently shaken except when I had all the resources needed to be victorious.

9 In exchange for sacrifice as small as ourselvaes, God gives us graces as great as Himself.

10 Everyone of us has been given a mission: to bring the father's Kingdom ionto the lives of others.

11 Every detail of our life has been the object of a divine thought, and that though has always been of love.

12 The little child that you come to adore in the crib is Divine Wisdom. Listen to what He will say to you.
The Word of God came to give the truth to the world.

13 When you go beside the Crib consider the fact that Jesus is there for love of you. He loves you with such
a love tht He wants to live in you.

14 O my Jesus, grant me the grace of seeking You as I shjopuld and of finding You…In You, I possess all
things suprabundantly.

15 What you do, your jobs, your lessons are not the stuff of your life: the important task is to live the life of Christ,
to long only for Him, to live only for Him.

16 To be constantly engaged in praising, blessing, adoring and thanking God, is a foretaste of what we
shall do eternity.

17 To follow Christ is something existential. It is to want to imitate Him to the p;oint of allowing ourselves
to be molded into his likeness.
18 God has done so much for me. I want to do something for Him.

19 To give ourselves completely to God is merely to God what belongs to Him.

20 Prayer is the foundation of our life…the greatest of all menas of doing good is that of praying a great deal.

21 Keep very near God and you will find Him in everything.

22 The life of the Church must be found in us through suffering.

23 We shall rejoice in heaven over the things that caused us siffering on earth…

24 Everything would go smoothly in our lifes ive we were more occupied with God thatn with ourselves.

25 To be able to fulfill the tasks of an apostolate in the spirit of faith, one must be very closely united to Jesus.

26 To do the work of Jesus, one must be detached, stripped of all.

27 You are apostles, you mission is to forge persons ion the fire of truth…you are witnesses of Jesus Christ.

28 In all things and in all ways, we should live in adoration and zeal for the rights of God.

29 Love places us at the service of God.

30 Our faith must continually grow. It must guide ourm judgement, our likes and dislikes, our affections.

31 Our humility not be one of words, discourses or appearance. Rather, we must give ourselves entirely to
Jesus Christ and receive Him who grants us his humiliations as proof of His love.

32 When characters are weak, the reason is because truth is diluted. Strong principles make strong characters.

33 The spirit of the Assumption tends towards a joyful detachment from earthly things and a going beyond trials
and difficulties without complaining or waisting our time over them.

34 Our life must be a constant yes to God.

35 Sacrifice is the first sign and characteristic of love.

36 To be gentle, one must be strong, it takes energy to be gentle.

37 Work ardently to develop Jesus mChrist in your own soul in order to give Him to the world.
38 To be effective instruments, we must be CHRIST-centered; we work for Him, with Him, In Him, reflecting
His personality, using His tactics.

39 God leads us, and no wiser and loving hand can guide our destinity.
