The total self-giving of which Sister Eugénie Caps speaks, calls for a decentering of oneself. It is a path to holiness. That is why, despite the difficulties she encounters, Eugénie always surrenders herself into the hands of God and joyfully welcomes His will.
Whether it’s a trial of very dear people, an undeserved reproach, to enter into the views of those placed on our way to make us ascend towards God.
‘‘How many self-denials, and however, if we live in union with God, it will be easy to keep the peace promised to those who put their faith fully in God’’. Cf. Letters to Catherine Frentz, on 20th June 1926.
Prayer: Through the intercession of Sister Eugénie Caps, Lord, help us to renounce ourselves, to remain faithful to Christ and to our missionary commitments, both in joyful and painful moments.
