11th May - Saint Damien of Molokai
The sacrifice is great for a heart which tenderly loves his parents, family, religious brothers, and the land where he was born. But the voice which invites us, which has called us to make the offering of everything we have, is the voice of God Himself. It is our Divine Savior Who says to us as to His first apostles: “Go, teach all nations, instructing them to observe all my commandments…” (Hence) Turn all your thoughts and aspirations to heaven. Work hard to secure for yourself a place there for ever.
