"I am not my own;
I have given
myself to Jesus.
He must be my
only love. The state of
helpless poverty that may befall me if I do not
marry does not frighten me. All
I need is a little food and a few pieces of clothing.
With the work of my hands
I shall always earn what is necessary
and what is left over I'll give to my
relatives and to the poor. If I should become
sick and unable to work, then I
shall be like the Lord on the cross.
He will have mercy on me and help me, I am
sure."- St Kateri Tekakwitha
St Kateri
Tekakwitha, pray for us!
