A WOMAN OF THE CHURCH

The thought of being a child of Christian parents, impelled me to respect and obey my parents.

Devotion of the Servant of God to the Teaching of the Catholic Church was ardent and unwavering.

A WOMAN OF CONFIDENCE

I place all my confidence in the divine mercy and only and exclusively in the merits of Jesus Christ, our Divine Redeemer.

Pray often for the conversion of sinners, and pray with confidence. God will not reject your prayer.
 

A WOMAN OF CONTEMPLATION

I wish to see God, contemplate Him, never to depart from Him, and be with Him eternally! In your meditation, delve deeply into each topic; familiarize yourselves with it. 

A WOMAN OF COURAGE

Fight with courage like good soldiers who daily enter fearlessly into battle. Now, my children, is the time for us – for battles, for work, and for sacrifices. Let us crucify the old person. This “giving birth” is painful, but what consolations, what glory, will follow it!
 

A WOMAN OF DEEP PRAYER

Perseverance in prayer is one of the most necessary conditions for making our prayer effective.

A WOMAN OF DETERMINATION

Why should we hesitate to embrace the cross, to completely attach ourselves to it for some moments here on earth, when the reward is eternal happiness? 

A WOMAN OF DIALOGUE

Many people suffering from fears, worries, doubts and temptations turned to the Servant of God and found light, peace and comfort, and they talked about it. She told them that in such trials they must not lose courage but with confidence they must raise their hearts towards God and expect their salvation from Him alone. 

A WOMAN OF ECUMENISM

It can be observed that the religious spirit is the spirit of Jesus Christ, that this spirit is the same for all countries and all peoples, that it can exist with the character and customs of all nations. The care the Sisters give to the sick is the same for the suffering humanity in all countries.

In a region where Catholics and Protestants live side by side, she also accepts to care for the Protestants asking for her help, and she carries out this care devotedly and lovingly.

A WOMAN OF ENCOURAGEMENT

May the thought of heaven give you courage. Consider that the saints became holy only through struggles and suffering. 

A WOMAN FOR FAMILIES

Mother Alphonse Marie was perfectly aware of everything she had received from her parents, above all that they had given her the Catholic faith, that they had taught her truths of the religion, that they had given her the example of an honest and very Christian life. She thanked them through complete surrender in everything that was not against God’s order. She obeyed them by going to work every morning as they commanded her to and against the powerful attraction she felt to attend the Holy Sacrifice at Mass. When she was sick, she suffered because she could not give her family her share of work and service. She looked after her parents as far as the Rule of her Institute permitted her. At her Father’s death, she offered to suffer anything God wanted in order to deliver him from purgatory.

She dedicated herself to the instruction of the ignorant and above all poor and abandoned (neglected) children. She assembled them herself in order to talk to them about God and to lead them gently to pray. This was one of the aims of her Congregation: teach these children until their First Communion.
 

A WOMAN OF MARGINALIZED

You must see the Savior in the poor and in the sick; you must serve them with kindness and joy, considering that it is God whom we serve in them. Coming to the sick, they greeted them friendly. Then they gently asked the sick in few words for information about their sufferings, and then the relatives, also with great kindness. 

A WOMAN OF OBEDIENCE

I have always had a great love for obedience. Nevertheless, because of my inclination to impatience and my obstinate temper, there was always a struggle in me against that which was recommended to me. O my Jesus, I will be ever obedient so I may become a saint. 

A WOMAN OF PERSEVERANCE

Perseverance in prayer is one of the most necessary conditions for making our prayer effective. 

A WOMAN OF TRUTH AND SINCERITY

Her words and actions were always true and sincere. She was sincere and straightforward towards the guide of her soul and did not hide anything from him, although it was extremely tough for her to have to tell him everything. She made a vow to reveal to him everything. She incessantly prayed for having this uprightness of conscience.

A WOMAN OF UNDERSTANDING

You shall help the poor and assist them as much as you can; they are God´s children, even as you are.
