Coimbra, Dec. 29, 1955

Rev. Father Superior,

Only today am I able to answer your letter

and thank you for the good news. I hope

that you have been feeling better, and that

you have felt the help of our Lord in the

works of the apostolate that is entrusted to

you. Difficulties grow everywhere and that

is why we need the help of the divine grace

in order to obtain something that is good.

May our Lady as a loving mother watch over

us and help us all. The multitude of letters

that arrives here from all over the world

bears witness to this. They do little more

than complain about the miseries that flood

mankind. In view of this I become convinced

that only myself and the little group, who

as myself had the good fortune of consecrating

themselves to our Lord, are the

only happy people on earth. It is not that

one does not live without a Cross, because

this is part of being the chosen people. But

if it is carried with love, it becomes a treasure

of appreciable value, which in fact none

of those who follow Christ wants to lose.

I don’t know if you have ever seen the cell

of a Carmelite. In each cell there is a wooden

cross without the statue. It is so that

following the example of Jesus she should

be crucified on it, in order to follow Him

step by step to Calvary, where she must

suffer and die with Him for love and for the

souls that He may want to save through

her. Looking this way at the cross, it becomes

light and easy to carry; one loves because in

it one finds knot of union with our God

crucified for us, and one does not wish

anything more than to love and suffer for

love. In this way I ask our Lord to transform

your mission works into a multitude of graces

and blessings for the souls entrusted to you.

Hoping that the feast of Christmas was a

source of happiness and spiritual enjoyment

for you, and asking for the New Year the

best graces and blessings from Heaven,

I remain united in prayer.

Sister Lucia

Coimbra, . Nov. Coimbra, Nov. 9, 1954

Dear Father Superior,

I don't know exactly where this letter will

find you, or· if you are still around. Let us

hope so! Our Reverend Mother told me that

you had been at the entrance hall of our

Convent, but at such a bad hour that due

to the fact that we only have one locutory,

it was impossible for me to speak to you

then. As you must have seen, at that moment,

the family of a postulant who was coming

in, had just arrived. Too bad you could not

come back later; I would also have liked

to say good-bye, since you are going so far

away. But our immolation must be complete,·

that all our steps be marked with the sign

of the Lamb's cross. Saint John says that

he saw in Heaven a multitude that followed

the Lamb everywhere. I believe that on

earth the Lamb has a similar procession

that follows Him waving the banner of the

Cross for His love, until they are incorporated

in the eternal procession, singing the hymn

of victory.

I don't know if you were ever in a

Carmelite's cell. Too bad you did not come on one of those

occasions when the Cardinals come in and

let others come in as well. You would see

then what its best ornament is - one big

single wooden Cross covering the white of

the main wall. When I had the good fortune

of entering the Carmelite order, I was led to

the cell, and as I was entering it I fixed my

eyes on the big stripped cross that opened

its arms to me. Our Reverend Mother

Prioress asked me: "Do you know why this

cross has no statue?" and without giving

me time to answer she added: "It is so that

you may crucify yourself on it. What a

beautiful ideal to be crucified with Christ!

That He may inebriate me with the gladness

of the cross. Here lies the secret of my

happiness - not to want or wish for more

than to love and suffer for love ...
