Mother Candida

Mother Candida has inspired many people. Though she didn't have the chance to study, her faith was still strong. She had a great devotion for Mary and offered her flowers spontaneously. She teaches us many values like simplicity, humility and generosity. She established the congregation "Hijas de Jesus" to fulfill her dream of children having Christian Education.

Her Sayings (Part 1)

"Try to live closely united with Jesus, doing everything, all for Him and with HIm."
Mother Candida was a very loving and and wonderful daughter of Christ. She did all for Him, and with Him. She was very united with Christ, even at a very early age. We people of today have had our hardships, our falls, our trials and also our wins, our success and our happiness. But, in all of the things that happen to us and the things we want to happen to us, do we really know the reason we're doing these? If so, what is it? For fame? For luxury? Or, for Jesus? We pray to Jesus everyday. We ask Him for things that, probably, we wouldn't even need. Yes, we pray everyday. But, do we know the reason why we pray? Do we really know the reason why we're talking to Jesus?


Mother Candida lived closely united with Jesus all through her life. She believed that with God, there is happiness. With God, you will know the reasons to all things you do everyday. Often times, we do things for ourselves, am I right? We may say that we're doing this for others, but, in reality, we're just being selfish people. Pride is always in the way. Mother Candida wants us to realize how important it is to always be connected to Christ. All the things around us are from Him, correct? Do we at least, somehow, say a Thank You once in a while to Him for everything He has given you? Or do we just, ask for more, more and more? Think about it. Know the reason for everything you do. Jesus HImself has His ways, His reasons, His mysteries. We should all try to live closely to one another with Christ. Let us trust Him and do everything for HIm and with Him.
