Deus és tudo para mim

Vita, opera e spiritualità di Madre Clelia Merloni

(Ir. Rita Susana Sappía da Fonseca, ASCJ)

Deus só é tudo para mim! Nada há que eu possa desejar
Além de vós, nada no céu e na terra…
Sois vós o meu Deus, por quem suspiro e cuja visão
me arrebatará por toda a eternidade
num profundo êxtase de amor!
o que é o amor ao nosso Deus
se não preferir a glória de pertencer-lhe,
De servir-lhe, de agradar-lhe…
imolar a própria vida se necessário for,
pois amar a Deus quer dizer: estar dispostas a tudo sacrificar
A tudo perder antes que ofendê-lo.

Ó bom Deus fazeis que vos amemos,
O quanto sois digno de ser amado. Só isto vos peço…
privai-nos de tudo ó Deus, mas nunca nos deixei
Sem vosso puro amor que para nós é tudo!
Todo nosso ser é vosso!

God Alone

(Sr. Claudia Calzetta and Sr. Susan Emmerich, ASCJ)

God alone is my life and love,
To God alone I surrender my heart.
God alone, my life, my all.

Our aim as Apostles the glory of Jesus
And the salvation of souls.
If we live for the Lord, He will be our support,
Our defense, our every comfort. (Ref.)

The more good we see that has to be done
The more we must do.
If we place all our hope in the Heart of Jesus,
Miracles we shall witness. (Ref.)

All things become a means for us
To go toward our God.
If we only love Him we will receive
Ev’ry good from His Heart. (Ref.)

Let us live then and die embracing the cross
In the footsteps of our Lord.
We are called as victims, chosen souls
For a world that thirsts for God. (Ref.)

Called as Apostles

Called as Apostles

(Sr. Claudia Calzetta and Sr. Susan Emmerich, ASCJ)

Called as Apostles, invited to love
Let us learn from our Mother
To follow in the way of our Lord
To follow as His Apostles of Love.

Tender and gentle, the Lord Jesus came;
He bade us to follow, to work in his name.
Zealous, yet prudent, we are challenged to be,
That the hearts of all people forever might see. (Ref.)

Filled with compassion toward all whom He met,
His love knew no limits, no bound’ries He set.
With joy Mother Clelia chose to follow His lead,
His Apostle in spirit, in love, and in deed. (Ref.)

Bold in His service, humble of heart,
Her message: Be constant, be faithful, impart
The promise of Jesus: Rejoice, you are Mine
You are loved without limit, with love that’s divine. (Ref.)

We are Apostles of Jesus the Lord,
Daughters of a Mother whose life was outpoured.
In love of our Savior, in service, in prayer,
Let us live, let us praise, let us seek to repair. (Ref.)
