"I would go to the uttermost part of the world in search for souls."

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 3)

"Burning with the divine love, you will be able to inflame other hearts with love for God."

Let me start by asking you,
How do you show your love to others?

Most of us show our love to our brothers and sisters through doing good deeds for them. Yes, that's really showing our care. Showing our care for others is one of the values Mother Candida has taught us. I myself can say that she is one of the most loving persons I've ever known all my life. Knowing her life opened my eyes wider to God. She has always showed that with loving others, you love God as well.

There would be times in our lives wherein we'd feel anger and hatred for a person. This happens, right? With this, we throw our love for others; almost, throwing our love for God, too. You see, people are very curious and probably stubborn beings. We always want to be at the top, always the reigning one. That's when misunderstandings come along. Mother Candida wants us to leave these attitudes to the ground. There is no reason for hatred and anger in this world. People are just stubborn. We need to learn how to love and understand each other more deeply. We need to trust in the Lord that He will let us find peace throughout our lives. So let's all cling to Him always. We shouldn't let our anger, our hatred, or even our doubts hinder us from being close to HIm. Let's use God's divine and never-ending love to show and inflame other hearts.
