O FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT

O Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
O my three Beloveds in one single love!
By mercy, may our union be so close, so close that it cannot be separated.
O my three Beloveds, I wish I had:
All the Angels’ adoration, to adore You,
All the Cherubs’ love, to love You,
All the praise of the Earth and of the Heaven to praise You,
And later on, to prostrate my heart before You, as long as I live,
To sing the glories of the three Guests who inhabit my poor and cold breast.
Everything praises the Creator; is it only me who doesn’t?

ABOUT ALEXANDRINA'S WRITINGS

The Suffering One of Balasar (Alexandrina) bequeathed to posterity, in her numerous writings, the richest of springs where she not only discloses to us her the exquisite transparency of her elect and beautiful soul and the delicate and difficult ways by which, since infancy until the death, Providence had led her steps, but also, gushing out from them, the abundant light of precious spiritual doctrine. And this all the more so as she approached her end.

Fr Marian Pinho

BD ALEXANDRINA'S NEWSLETTER

The Bl Alexandrina's last newsletter was published in Balasar, Portugal, some days ago; in it can be found interesting news, like that of an house of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in Campinas, Brazil, with the Bd Alexandrina's name.
In the last 25th May came to Balasar a pilgrimage from Lebanon, asking for peace for that martyrized country.

OH, LIFE OF GOD IN SOULS!

I want somebody to do what you are unable to do.

Loose leaves, what you say is loose leaves!

You make souls aspire to Me.
You go ahead; you reach like this to Me, you reach like this!

You touched the Infinite,

You live by the Infinite,

You speak about the Infinite!

Oh, life of God in souls!

Jesus to Bd Alexandrina

FR MARIAN PINHO’S MORTAL REMAINS IN BALASAR

One day after Bd Alexandrina’s next liturgical memory, in 14th October, will arrive to Balasar, from Recife, Brazil, the Fr Marian Pinho’s mortal remains. Bd Alexandrina’s first spiritual director has been banished in 1946; however we know that he was a holy priest and therefore his return is like a triumph. Indeed Jesus has promised to Bd Alexandrina that he will climb “the altars honor”.
There is a Fr. Marian Pinho’s website: http://causapadrepinho.home.sapo.pt/
In 14th October will be in Balasar many Portuguese people, some Italian pilgrims and, we hope, an Irish pilgrimage.

THE SIGNORILES (I)

The Signoriles are an Italian couple, Mathematics and Physics teachers at the Liceo Beccaria, in Milan (http://www.beccaria.mi.it/), who made an intensive study of Bld Alexandrina. They collaborated with the Fr Umberto Pasquale at the time of the Diocesan Informative Process, which took place in Braga between 1967 and 1973, translating the five thick volumes of the Sentiments of the Soul.
Professor Chiaffredo, born 9th October 1913 in Stroppo, in the province of Cuneo, died on 13th October 1999. But his wife, Professor Eugénie Signorile, born 9th September 1914 in Milan, still publishes books on Alexandrina.
Neither of them knew Alexandrina alive.
