I am going to try to live the asceticism of yes: to say yes to everything good.

I am ready to receive from God all the little sufferings He may wish to send me. They are so insignificant, and I receive them so gladly, that they become joys.
Jesus, make me love Mary, not only because she is pure, beautiful, good, compassionate, and my Mother, but because she is Your Mother and You love her infinitely. O Jesus, let me share in Your love for Mary. Make me love her as You do.
I am very happy. I do not know what is happening to me. One feels something deep inside. Such a great love for Him, who has always led me so much by the hand, who has never let me fall, not even once, into mortal sin. I do not know what problems are. Thank You, Christ, for giving me this wonderful inner peace. I am very grateful to You.
Help me, Jesus, to be an apostle. I no longer keep anything for myself. May my love for You make me give myself to others.
It is wonderful to think that I am going to spend my whole life in the service of Jesus and Mary. I am going to be a fisher of souls. I have thought about it a great deal, and I would like to go, as a Marianist religious, to South America, where so many hands are needed to help save souls.
I realize that I must become a saint. One cannot be a mediocre Christian. May those who see me be able to see Christ in me.
We must be apostles by our example; our very presence should attract others to Christ.
