It's 2011

Another year... it's begun quite eventfully with the Golden and Silver Jubilees of our Sisters celebrated on the 2nd of January.
Gosh... mine's next year!!

25 years of my life as a Religious Sister has passed like mostly like the breeze [at times like a fragrant rose and at times like a tempest!] that constantly blows.

I have absolutely no regrets about responding to the call to Religious life. God has been utterly wonderful and in the light of the 'infidelities' of today's culture...especially faithful.

I am filled with gratitude to God for the gift of my vocation and all I seek to do is to listen and obey the voice of God from especially from within my heart.

Listening to God's voice from within calls for fidelity from me... fidelity to my quiet time with God Alone and to holy discernment, particularly at 'crossroads'. I have not always been faithful and consequently, I have had to ride the high tide of fiery, desperate and even depressing moments of feeling lost and alone.

In and through all this, God has never left me alone as I was always led to 'seek and find'. There would always be 'God in skin' to show me the light that led me home. Home to God and to my community, to those who patiently waited to lift me and shower me with loving care.

This is the ultimate gift that is given... basically to all, 'all people of goodwill' because God is Abba in the most loving way! This is the gift of Mary's 'Fiat' ~ that is our call, a call that leads to the conception of Jesus deep within each one of us! Christians who are called to eventually to birth and thus proclaim the love of Christ to one and all!

Yes, the year has begun... Chinese New Year is round the corner... another reminder of the call to 'go out and proclaim the Good News!'

Shalom!
