Her spirituality was based on her Prayer of the Agenda: an awareness of the presence of God in all the ordinary activities of life. "Each tiny act is an extraordinary event in which heaven is given to us, in which we are able to give heaven to others."

"Whatever we do "is just the outer shell of an amazing inner reality...Is the doorbell ringing? Quick, open the door! It's God coming to love us....Is someone asking us to do something? Here you are! It's God coming to love us. ..Let's let him!" --Ven Madeleine Delbrel
