The Church
- The whole world is a great family of the children of God. We are his favorite children since we live in his house, the Church… (p. 61)
- I’m inclined to pray a lot for the Church and my supplications are increasingly more bod and trusting… (p.68)
- But I’m convinced that it is God who is to provide the guidance and organization that the Church (p. 69)
- …and that she will choose to work and suffer greatly for her (p. 82)
- I take an extra time to pray at night in order to give thanks for the transformation. I no longer have to wish to be useful to the Church. (p. 193)
- …I see no other way that we can continue to fulfill the promise of our name and of our beings as redeemers. Nor can we achieve the reality of our dreams of being active and heroic members of the Church, working in the most difficult posts. (p. 209)
- In the afternoon, I felt very comfortable with the community. We began the series about The Missionary Church… Christ loved and glorified the Church, and the Church proclaimed Christ thereby letting all people and races discover the image of the Redeemer of humanity, obscured on the Cross. (p. 260)
- I’m happy when someone says they enjoy Saint Teresa of Avila. She is my saint. She has taught me much and I also owe her a lot. Her writings allow me to discover the delight of her spirit. I like to love of God that they leave me with and how well it fits in with reality. The will of God, as she understands it, prayer and love for the Church are fruits that are enjoyed and absorbed within. (p. 273)
- Doña Victorina passed away last night…I feel that few people know how to love the Church as much as she. (p. 277)
- And above all, an increase in strength in order to work and suffer for the Church as the apostles and the first Christians did. I recall a very spiritual and intimate memory, mysteriously united with the “Lights of Redemption”, that allows me to see people and events across the “great mystery”. (p. 281)
- How the concept of the Church increases upon seeing it born at Jesus’ death, thereby receiving complete life, benefits, and potency from Jesus Christ. We must have desires to be worthy members of the Church and to integrate new people who still do not reside in it! I want to see the entire Institute trained in this spirit. (p.281)
- It appears that I can feel the help of the Holy Spirit and the push He gives us to grow in the knowledge of Christ, in love for the Church, and in yearning for the Kingdom. (p. 285)
