Mother Elvira – Community Cenacolo

Every day I am so happy to be alive and that I was born, because the Lord put me in a condition of not worrying about myself. I have never had much time in life to think about me, how I was doing, if I was happy or sad, good or evil. I always had to look at others; and I realised that they were my mission: human, Christian and religious. I am in happy marriage for many years now, with the “Carpenter of Nazareth”, the Son of God, Jesus Christ the Lord. The more I walk with Him every day in an eternal renewal of joy and life; I discover that to serve is to reign. There is no more fascinating kingdom, or bigger, or more stupendous or more fruitful than in the heart of man. To be at the service of paternal heart of God, in order to serve mankind, is truly to experience the privilege of reigning.

I will reveal to you a secret for reigning, for overcoming exhaustion, tiredness, depression and fear; turn your heart toward and give a hand to someone else who is suffering more than you. It is an enormous gift to have the poor among us. When I say poor, I am thinking of your father, your husband, your wife, or your brother. In order to overcome our limitations, or cross the threshold of our weariness, serving others is a source of joy. It is true, concrete experience of whomever, “loses his life for my sake will find it”.
