SAYINGS OF MOTHER CANDIDA

"I AM FOR GOD ALONE"


Reflection:
Juanita was a fifteen year old teenager and was blossoming with beauty. There was this man who was honest and hard-working. He had a bright, promising future. Everyday, he'd watch Juanita as she walked by with her friends.
This man fell deeply in love with her and decided to ask Juanita's parents for her hand in marriage. One night, Juanita's mother told Juanita of the man's intentions; Upon thinking, Juanita answered gently but firmly, "This can't be done mother because I am for God alone."
On Juanita's way to the fountain, a young man asked her hand but again she said, "I am for God alone."
