The ABCs of Mother Clara for her sisters.




A Providential glance of God watches over us.
Be simply and perfectly subject to all.
Courage then, dear daughters, because this life is just two days and heaven is  
   for all eternity!
Desire to be always the last of your sisters.
Every one in general and each one in particular, hands to the task…living only for
   God.
Forward then, because for a moment of combat, an eternity of glory has been
   promised us.
Great and inscrutable are the designs of God.
Have no wish other than that of your Superiors, your equals and inferiors.
In the midst of great tempests, there always arises an increase of good for our
 Congregation.
Jesus, the Sun of justice, eclipses just for a while, in order to reappear later in
  greater splendor
Kindness and meekness of little children towards all your sisters, is what God wants from you.
Let us work in a spirit of penance.
My soul glorifies the Lord, because He has worked miracles on our Calvary!
Nothing happens in the world without divine permission.
Obedience and silence are the base of the Religious Life.
Put up with one another with charity, without being astonished at the defects of
  your sisters.
Quite a painful Calvary, several times I feel, now…let us carry our cross of
   resignation…(Positio Vol I, Pg.59)
Receive everything as from the hands of God Who permits everything for our
   good.
Sincerity of a religious soul does not consist in many words…
The lack of unity that exists among the sisters results from a lack of humility and knowledge of oneself.
Unhappy the Congregation that does not have good and solid vocations.
Vocation…how much are we not indebted to God, only for our religious vocation?
Watch over yourselves, not to appear hurt when someone helps you on the way of perfection, reminding you of your faults.
eXcuse rather than accuse, when you observe some defect in your sisters…
Yet I do this (writing an admonition), most willingly, because I have the hope of some fruit being drawn…
Zeal for the glory of God is expressed in fervent and diligent sacrifices.
