On the day I celebrated my 35th year as a professed member of our Congregation, the Lord gifted me with a special grace: to spend it with our Young Perpetual Professed Sisters of the Province, in my role as their formator.

Being with them was more than just an occasion of celebration—it was a moment of deep reflection. As they shared their own journeys, hopes, and struggles, I too was led to look back on my path: the joys, the challenges, and the countless ways God’s fidelity has sustained me through the years.

In this mutual sharing, I realized that formation is never a one-way path. While I accompany them, they also teach me—renewing in me the freshness of my first “yes” and rekindling the fire of hope that has carried me for 35 years.

Together, we look forward with trust in God’s promise, striving to be faithful witnesses of hope in our world today. May our lives, young and old, seasoned and new, be a living testimony that the Lord who calls is the Lord who provides.

THANK YOU, LORD!
