Better is one day in your
courts
than a thousand elsewhere... Psalm 84:10a
than a thousand elsewhere... Psalm 84:10a
St.
Josephine spent hours in Eucharistic Adoration and,
when
one Sister asked if it tired her, she said,
"Not
at all! I have been having a
wonderful
time with Him.
He
has waited so long for me."
...
"Our Lord has always been so good to me ...
If I were to stay on my knees for my entire life,
I still would not be able to
express my gratitude sufficiently."

Feast Day - Feb 8
Toward the
end of her life, Mother Bakhita used to smile and say: "I travel slowly, one
step at a time, because I am carrying two big suitcases. One of them contains my
sins, and in the other, which is much heavier, are the infinite merits of Jesus.
When I reach heaven I will open the suitcases and say to God: 'Eternal Father,
now you can judge.' And to St. Peter: 'Close the door, because I'm
staying.'"
