| Image of a claretian "A
son of the Immaculate heart of Mary(Claretian) is a man on fire with love, who spreads its
flames wherever he goes. He desires mightily and strives by all means possible to set
everyone on fire with god’s love. Nothing daunts him: he delights in privations,
Welcomes work, embraces sacrifices, smiles at slander, rejoices in all the torments and
sorrows he suffers, and glories in the cross of Jesus Christ. His only concern is hoe he
may follow Christ and imitate him in praying, working, enduring, and striving constantly
and solely for the greater glory of god and the salvation of humankind." (Const no.

considerate towards others, More honest with myself, More faithful to you Make me generous
enough to want sincerely To do your whatever it may be. Help me to find my true vocation
in life, And grant that through it I may find happiness Myself and bring happiness to
others. Grant, Lord, that those whom you call to enter the priesthood or the religious
life may have the generosity to answer your call, so that those who need your help may
find it. We ask this through the intercession of St.
Antony Mary Claret. Amen. |

full force of your arm" (Aut. 270) |
