Fr. Calabria on Christmas 1949 wrote :
We are SERVANTS. On the example of Jesus, who from his very birth proclaimed as the servant for excellence of the Father, and we have to conform to the holy will of God, which is disclosed us thru the holy rules and the directions of the superiors. “Quae placita sunt Ei facio semper” (I do always those acts which pleases the Father) Jn 8:29. How often I have told you that we have to be like asepholous, as clay, kerchief, available to everything! Look, let these words spare us from our judgment!
And you beloved external brothers, you to have to obey, that is observe the holy rule of the Lord, in fulfilling your duties in your families, offices, profession you practice, in everything and always. Take care of giving a good example
Finally we are servants of DIVINE PROVIDENCE. We must live and witness in practice the “do not be anxious ...” of the holy Gospel. Away from human protection, use and take care with deep faith whatever the Lord sends us.
From our side we shall love silence, and concealment, and we shall be satisfied with the approval and care from God. ….
And you my dear External brothers, live in this atmosphere of silence, in the full filial trust and abandonment in God and his Providence. … He has a commitment to fulfill his word: “SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD and HIS JUSTICE and all the rest will be given to you“
