As I prepared for my Perpetual Profession with joy and expectation, my prayer and personal reflection often took me back to see how the Lord had always been present in my life leading me step by step. How did I make it to this culminating moment? Many times I was not even aware of what the Lord was doing in my soul, but I do know that making the decision to surrender to Him and his call fills me with such joy and a deep sense of satisfaction that is not of this world. Nothing can compare to this!

To anyone who may be longing to discover God’s call, I definitely invite you to set out to follow Christ without hesitation! Allow yourself to be loved by Him. He is the only one who gives meaning to our lives. When Christ calls us to a particular life mission, He gives the grace to carry out what He is asking of us. So do not be afraid: let him take you by the hand and lead you!
