Today, I celebrate my 24th Anniversary as a Religious Sister... It's been a long and really wonderful journey with God who is always faithful even when I have 'strayed'.
Today, I'm happy just remembering that I've 'reached' thus far and am delighted to honestly and sincerely say... "I thank my God" for the gift of my vocation and I am truly happy in this life.
I am grateful to God for gifting me with the charism of St Magdalen of Canossa since my school days. My thanksgiving inherently includes...
- my immediate and extended family who have always been so loving and supportive.
- my Sisters who have at times, seemed to have made my life a living hell but have ultimately taught me invaluable lessons of life.
- the friends [including prisoners] I have found in my ministry of sharing the faith, who have constantly encouraged me and given me the impetus to carry on with love.
- the small circle of my teenage years friends who still keep in touch and keep me young at heart :).
- the 'angels' who have always been available when I needed a listening ear.
- and to my Sisters in community now, who continue to love and support me through it all...
May God bless each one with an abundance of continued wisdom and a life that is filled to overflowing with the joy and love of God! Pax!
