Life, work and spirituality of Mother Clelia Merloni

I want to become a Saint

O Mary, as spouse of your Jesus I am your daughter, Help me, therefore, because I want to become a saint. I know I shall have to love humility, oblivion, charity, and to look for the last place everywhere and always to conquer and annihilate my pride, but it does not matter, I am resolute, I want to become a saint. I shall have to exercise extreme charity toward my neighbor, love him, bear with him and not complain when he may be unjust towards me, but nevertheless I want to become a saint. I know too that I shall always have to act in a spirit of faith and penance. I shall have to do everything under the gaze of God who is watching me. I shall often be troubled and will have to resist all my natural inclinations, but nonetheless, I want to become a saint. I shall have to make every effort to pray fervently in Chapel, avoid distractions and give good example by my demeanor and recollection, and no matter how painful it will be for me, I want to become a saint, at any cost. How can I become holy? By doing my day to day activities the best I can. Many saints in Heaven did nothing more than what I am doing here. I want to perform every action as if afterwards I would have to offer it in homage to God and to the Most Holy Virgin. Oh yes, my God! yes, I always want to do everything well. I want to become a saint.

Prayer for the canonization of Blessed Clelia Merloni

Lord Jesus, you made Blessed Clelia a steadfast Apostle of the love of your most holy Heart and a lover of the Father’s will throughout her life of continual trial.
You filled her with humble trust, the key that opens the treasures of your infinite mercy.
We ask you to glorify her here on earth so that the beauty of her holiness might draw us to your most gentle Heart, her intercession assist us on our journey toward the ultimate good, and her example awaken in us the desire to see our triune God known, loved, and served.
Amen

Prayer to obtain graces through the intercession of Blessed Clelia Merloni

I praise you, O merciful Father, for you have revealed to little ones the infinite treasures of the Heart of your Son.
Through the intercession of Blessed Clelia Merloni, who was confident in the Heart of Jesus, zealous in charity, patient in adversity, and heroic in forgiveness, I pray that I may obtain the grace I now ask of you.

Sared Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in you.
