I choose you before you were born [ Jeremiah 1:5 ].
[ Drawings by Sister John Francis ]
In my teenage years I was so absorbed with my own personal affairs and fascinated by wordly things, I did not pay much attention to my inclination to join a religious order. A religious Sister who had an apostolate in our area and who came regularly to our home for lunch had a good influence on me. God in his own time began to bring out the seed of my vocation which He Himself had planted when I was in my mother's womb. Things happened in my life and the guiding Hand of God is always at my side. My Confessor was a Franciscan and God used Him to guide me to join an enclosed Order of Saint Clare.
Now I am a fully professed Sister and am so happy through all the ups and downs of life. I have no regrets, no turning back because I have found the treasure, the treasure of all treasures !
Bloom Bloom where you are planted !
Like the deer that yearns for running streams; so my soul is yearning for you my god. ( Psalm 41 )
