Missional thoughts~!

We must prepare a last home for those who have nothing.
I have lived in this city for 20 years but today for the first time I see it.
Jesus has told me to be a Nun, out there among the poorest of the poor.
We can only wait and pray.......... Let's pray and forget about waiting.
If there is enough for one to do than two can do it better.
There is always a moment in life when it comes time to make a choice.
Are we here to convert people of to help them.
Mother Teresa does not practice family planning methods she has more and more children every day.
I am Indian and India is a part of me.
I know I am touching the living body of Christ in the broken bodies of the hungry and the suffering.
Everything you do to the least of my brothers you did it to me.
I am only a pencil in the hand of God but it is He who writes.
Wherever a real Christian goes he brings joy.
Never, never forget the joy in your heart and in your eyes.
It is not I who needs help it is the poor and needy.
The work we do in not ours it is his , he is the one that must provide.
We don't need strategies the Lord likes small things best, especially those done with love.
I have the whole of eternity for resting.
It is so difficult to build and so easy to destroy.
Our lives belong to the lord, he is the one that leads us by the hand.
The work we do here is important but what is more important is that the work is supported by prayer. Prayer is what keeps everything going.
This is only the beginning the road is long and full of danger.
We must except what the Lord has for us to do.
A good employer never forgets their workers.
Storm the heavens with your prayers.
Life is life, let us defend it always and with a smile, helping the weakest, the poorest, the sick, the old. Defend our children from the culture of indifference and death. Defend life right form conception to death. And if someone is not able or capable to do it entrust it to me.
If it be your will take me in her place, hear my prayer than that my life instead of hers. Your will, only your will.
If my pain and darkness consoles you do what you must with me my Lord Jesus. If you separation form you puts others on you heart. If it brings you joy I readily suffer that which I am suffering. Your will is everything I desire. Now I know your have never abandoned me.

Everything we do is just a drop in the ocean but if we don't do it that drop will be missing forever.
It was in the statutes but as of today this association no longer exists. We are going back to our roots, back to being with the poor, poor with poor.

Where there is desperation may I bring hope.
Where there is sadness let me bring joy
Allow me to understand rather than to be understood.
Allow me to love rather than to be loved
Allow me to give because giving is receiving
Because it is in the forgiving we are forgiven and in dieing we are born to eternal life.
