Remembrances
by Sisters Who Knew Mother Luisita
"We see in Mother Luisita
a great woman full of kindness and mercy. We continually pray
to God that she may soon receive the public declaration of her
holiness because her work is a living testimony of the authenticity
of her life."
--Sister Beatriz of Jesus, OCD
Durango, Mexico
1978
"Each time I remember Mother Luisita, I think of her as a saint
and I invoke her as such. In my greatest trials I have recourse
to her and I always feel very much consoled. What an accumulation
of virtues I observed in her. Her interior and constant recollection
reflected in her the presence of God."
--Sister Maria Del Socorro,
Servants of Jesus
"The impression of kindness and affability that Mother Luisita
left in my mind when I was only seven years old, has remained
indelible in my soul, perhaps because I felt very much honored
by her, as if I would have been a distinguished person. I remember
how one day she told me: "You will be a Carmelite." My impression
of her at that age was that of a very virtuous and holy religious.
Later, I understood that in her shone all virtues in a heroic
way, particularly Charity, and this virtue is precisely what
gives assurance of holiness.
--Sister Teresa of Jesus, OCD
Monastery of Saint Teresa of Avila, Guadalajara, Mexico
1978
"I knew Mother Luisita when she joined our Discalced Carmelite
monastery of Saint Teresa in the year 1904 and I had the opportunity
of living with her. I observed many virtues in Mother Luisita.
I was inspired by her great love of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist,
her devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the Blessed
Virgin.
I felt edified at her outstanding charity, her observance of
the Rule and her spirit of poverty. I believe that Mother Luisita
is a great saint because of her great charity toward all classes
of people, great and small, rich and poor."
Sister Jesus Teresa of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, OCD
Monastery of Hoguera
1978
