‘‘Being to Jesus alone, living for Him alone, will involve to make professional choices: working at the Bank of Bouzonville, even if the salary is less than the position offered to her at the station, to have time available for prayer and acts of charity and of mercy’’. Cf. Un siècle de mission au féminin, page 28.
‘‘I liked a service at the station since I had already worked there with my father. But of course, the other job offered me advantages on a religious level. There, I would be able to go to Mass and Holy Communion every morning. The other job, on the contrary, would not allow me to do so, and on top of that, there was even work on Sundays and therefore, a risk of not having Mass every fortnight on Sundays, excluding the feast days. Financially, the post at the station offered me double as much, but I could not take this into account and expose my soul and my vocation’’. Cf. My Vocation, page 72.
‘‘We formed a first little group aiming at an inner life of union with God, to be lived with Jesus. There was among us, a friendship solely based on that desire to love Jesus by a more perfect life. Yes, Jesus was much loved by these young hearts, indeed, nearly all of them received communion every morning, we also visited the poor and the sick in their homes’’. Cf. My Vocation, page 55.
Prayer: Through the intercession of Sister Eugénie Caps, Lord, we pray to you to grant us the grace of discernment, so that we can make choices that bring us always closer to You.
