The desire for souls

My children, I ask you to unite yourselves always, continually, to my intentions, filled with trust too, as you prepare to continue labouring with renewed youthfulness to spread the Work: qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum, renovabitur ut aquilae iuventus tua;35 for our God will make fruitful the desires he has placed in our hearts, and our spiritual task on earth will always be robust and youthful.

Sowers of peace and joy

God expects you and me, joyously grateful for the vocation which in his infinite goodness he has placed in our soul, to be a great army of sowers of peace and joy along the pathways of mankind, so that countless souls can soon join us in exclaiming: Cantate Domino canticum novum; cantate Domino omnis terra (Ps 96[95]:1), sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth!

As I have already told you, we children of God in his Work, by sincerely feeling and living out our divine filiation, united by the strong bonds of fraternal love, can easily be an apostolic organised disorganisation in the world, a continuous transfusion of the Christian life-force into the bloodstream of society.

Notes

who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s (Ps 103[102]:5).
