  9. Is our identity questioned here ... ? Is our Congregational mission has any particular identity to recognize us, as Ursulines of Mary Immaculate…..?

  10. THE PORTRAIT OF A PERFECTURSULINE Life starts ….. HolyEucharist becomes the Heart of the day…. The source of light and energy….. We go forth …. as an angel with our daily activities…. a kind, loving, dedicated, authentic service….. Are we…. ?

  15. “The fruits of good prayer are a greater knowledge of God and his greatness and power and in particular of His holy Love..a greater knowledge of ourselves and of our imperfections.”

  16. A soul consecrated to God never places impediments to God’s grace in whichever way it may be imparted to her, but with determination and joy embraces whatever He may send her and whatever her spiritual director prescribes for her.

  17. Be assured that God lovingly accepts the smallest acts done out of love for Him….

  18. On the Love of God

  19. The FIRST essential, is to love Godwith our whole heart- with an undivided heart……! God must be loved above all things and all things must be loved only for God and in God….. We love things loved by God such as virtues and other things that lead to the love of God…..

  20. Secondly, we must love God with our whole heart….. We love God alone and find no pleasure outside of God.

  21. One should love with all fortitude, so that all difficulties and adverse circumstances from whichever source they come will be overcome through our love for God……..

  22. Let’s take heart, and offer to God a resolute will to persevere in His holy love , lovingly accepting trial He will send us to test our love…

  23. Charity is a great teacher and it willsuggest the right way of dealing with others… To teach us the perfection of charity and to share its beauty with us, Jesus not only became man, suffered and died for love of us, but He made Himself our food in the sacrament of love so that He may feed us continually with this food of Love.

  24. Ctrl+Alt+Delete ….When the life seems to be an end……. store whatever you have gained permanently in Him alone… that it may not be lost… the sources are – Holy Eucharist … Sacrament of Reconciliation … Spiritual reading, Examination of conscience, retreat, Recollection … Word of God… Seek Him in silence … He alone suffices……

  25. Observe how many feathers however tiny, combine to make a mattress soft and comfortable for the body to lie on, so also, many acts of virtue, even small ones, bring divine goodness to the heart.

  26. Relax…. His LOVE is boundless… unconditional…. ever lasting…. Seek Him alone… You will find peace, joy and serenity… Sit at HIS feet… His wounded hands will envelop you … with a healing touch…. You will enjoy HIS presence like a soothing balm…. like a heavy shower upon the dry earth… If you reached the end, you are truly amazing

  27. Like a butterfly searches for honey… like a deer pants for the water…. Like the sunflower which turns towards the sun… Let us thirst for HIM … and the divine nectar increase our thirst more and more …so that we may always immerse into Him …

  28. To follow CHRIST crucified and Risen… To face the new challenges in this country of HINDUTA… To launch out with new visions…. To witness the KINGDOM values…. To serve the poorest of the poor…. To become one with the wounded as an wounded healer… To serve the least and not to be served… Are the UMIs ready..? Today’s world need such missionaries who can be an all rounder… not a specialist….is it so ?

  29. With sincere thanks ….asking your valuable suggestions…
