SERVANT OF GOD

MOTHER MARY CONCEPTION OF ST. JAMES AND ST. THERESA

Discalced Carmelite

(1905- 1999)

She was so closed to the Heart of Jesus in everything she did, that in any difficulty she invariably repeated:

THOUGHTS OF THE SERVANT OF GOD.

"A life which is lived in the Heart of Jesus is so holy and beautiful!".

"I wish to work so that you may reign on all hearts".

"Self-control before contradictions raises the soul to great perfection".

"To contemplate often the infinity that surrounds me on all sides, to lose myself in Him and to eliminate all occasion of pride. Take a moment in the morning and another in the afternoon to think of Him on your knees, meditating these beautiful words: "My God is my everything!

"To participate in Holy Mass, as the most important action of the day, as if we were on Calvary, in the company of Mary." 

"Pray every hour for the Kingdom of the Heart of Jesus and for priests."

"I want to work steadfastly to achieve holiness. I do not want to be a stain on the Church and the Order."

“I desire to love God with all my heart and passion, and my neighbor, for God's sake, with gentleness, as Christ would treat him."

"To do everything as Jesus would, thinking of God, loving God and doing everything possible to do God's will and renew these acts 12 times every hour."

"As the years go by, I see more clearly that the purpose of our life is to know, love, and serve God in this life and then see and enjoy Him for eternity."

"I can't waste a minute."

"Love does not get tired; And if he gets tired, it's not love."

"To love is to give of oneself, to sacrifice, to forget oneself in order to please the one who is loved."
