Venerable Sr. Thecla Merlo and her Thoughts

"The peace and serenity brought to us 

by the crosses which we accept well from the hands of God are unmatched, 

and we will know all their merit and glory in heaven."

Venerable Sr. Thecla Merlo and her Thoughts

"If we meditate on the Passion of our Lord 

we will have the grace and strength to take up our cross daily. 

You see that each day there is a cross to carry; 

some days it is big, some days, smaller. 

But we ourselves are the biggest cross, 

with all our defects, with our evil inclinations. 

We must go against ourselves and carry our cross. 

May we have the grace to carry it well!"

- Venerable Sr. Thecla Merlo, fsp

"We must ask for the grace of conversion everyday. 

Let us ask St. Paul for the necessary dispositions 

that will help us change and improve ourselves!"
