I am glad to share with you my experience getting to know the community of the Little sisters of Jesus in Nigeria. Little Sisters of Jesus in Pakistan Father Asi shared his vision of what Brother Charles can mean in someone's life, based on his own experience. 'I'll never be able to communicate the strength of his conviction or the impact his words had on us, but I will tell you a little of what he said'. Little Sisters of Jesus in Tunisia, Love and courage Sfax
Little Sister Mercé writes form Sfax, Tunisia's second largest city, 240 km south along the coast from Tunis. Cultivate the human virtuesBeing a good Christian is more important than being a nun. We must cultivate the human virtues of hospitality and love to the highest possible decree and then add to them the virtues of the religious life. The universal brotherI want all the people here, Christians, Muslims, Jews, non-believers, to look on me as their brother, the universal brother. They begin to call my house ‘the fraternity’ and this makes me happy. God came to us and lived among usIn order to save us, God came to us and lived among us, from the Annunciation to the Ascension, in a close and familiar way. God continues to come to us and to live with us in a close and familiar way, each day and at every hour, in the holy Eucharist. So we too must go and live among our brothers and sisters in a close and familiar way. It is love that should recollect you in meIt is love that should recollect you in me interiorly and not being far from my children. See me in them, like me at Nazareth live close to them, lost in God. Always see Jesus in every personAbove all, always see Jesus in every person, and consequently treat each one not only as an equal and as a brother or sister, but also with great humility, respect and selfless generosity. How good I must be towards othersSince you are so good to me, how good I must be towards others. And then, since you want to be my Father and the Father of all people, how truly I must have for every person, however wicked, the sentiments of a loving brother. Embrace all humanityOur hearts, like that of the Church, like that of Jesus, must embrace all humanity.
