Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), 11/14/2020, Postulants Vice Province of Africa.- The postulants talk about Marie Poussepin.

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, MY MOTHER!

Look at this woman, beautiful and smiling.
Look at her, how simple and welcoming she is!
How full of hope she is, my mother,
And animated by great patience!
Humble and poor-hearted, she is.
Merciful and compassionate, she is.
Founder of such an effective work,
Announcing Christ was his passion.

My mother, she is unique.
I will not stop praising her.
She is a woman of faith and a warrior of faith,
Charitable, generous and courageous,
She spent her life serving the Lord
In the poor and infirm of his time.
Passionate about God, her works bear witness to her greatness.

How dear she is to me, my mother!
I want to imitate her.
Imitate her audacity to educate and instruct;
Imitate her zeal when she serves without distinction,
Her capacity of imagination, her inventiveness,
Work to acquire the wisdom that animated him.
And, like her, my steps in her footsteps towards Christ,
I give my life to the service of the Only One Necessary, Christ.

Plenty of Joy on me.
On my first day of contact, I heard about a woman
A woman like no other and I loved her.

Sister with an impoverished heart,
Model of infinite love,
Whose eyes see beyond the world.
Innovative woman, you train your daughters with delicacy.
With hard work you helped the most needy.
With a generous heart, you carefully assisted the sick.

Foundress of the Dominican Sisters of Charity of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin,
God made you the mother of a big family.
Throughout the world you sent sisters animated by the zeal of CHRIST.

We must remember her beginning. An humble person who, one day, simply did what her heart told her to do.
