If the Spirit is the inspirer of the missionary apostolate, the Virgin Mary holds the place of mediator of all graces, a model to be followed for the Missionary Sisters. The prayers to Mary written by Eugénie Caps testify to her deep devotion to her Dear Mother.
In Our Spiritan Life too, the place of Mary is well defined in n°46: ‘‘We like to contemplate in the Immaculate Heart of Mary the realization of a love that was spiritually fruitful in her’’.
‘‘It is only through you that I will come to Jesus. You have a place in Your heart for me, and I must live in it for ever’’. Cf. Diary of Sister Eugénie Caps, on 18th January 1918.
Prayer: Through the intercession of Sister Eugénie Caps, grant us, Lord, the grace to know how to imitate the virtues of the Virgin Mary, opening ourselves to the world, coming to the aid of the most vulnerable and entrusting to God the joys and miseries of the People.
