Blessed Mary of Jesus Crucified

Holy Spirit, inspire me.

Love of God consume me.

Along the true road, lead me.

Mary, my good mother, look down upon me.

With Jesus, bless me.

From all evil,
all illusion,
all danger,
preserve me.

Amen.

Sayings

Everything passes here on earth. What are we? Nothing but dust, nothingness. God is so great, so beautiful, so lovable, and yet He is not loved.

Always remember to love your neighbor; always prefer the one who tries your patience, who tests your virtue, because with her you can always merit. Suffering is Love; the Law is Love.

I desire to suffer always and not to die. I should add: this is not my will, it is my inclination.

It is sweet to think of Jesus; but it is sweeter to do His will.

The proud person is like a grain of wheat thrown into water: it swells, it gets big. Expose that grain to the fire: it dries up, it burns. The humble soul is like a grain of wheat thrown into the earth: it descends, it hides itself, it disappears, it dies in order to revive in heaven.

Observance of the rule is of more value than all extraordinary states, more than the stigmata and the gift of miracles.

Here in the peace of the Lord reposes Sister Mary of Jesus Crucified, professed religious of the white veil. A soul of singular graces, she was conspicuous for her humility, her obedience and her charity. Jesus, the sole love of her heart, called her to Himself in the 33rd year of her age and the 12th year of her religious life at Bethlehem, 26 August 1878.
