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.)

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.)
