I
was 25, when I discovered the call within me and responded. “What does
it profit a man if he gains the whole wide world, but suffers the loss
of his soul?.” This was the ‘word’ that was insistently calling me to
give due importance to my interior life. My choice to become religious,
is not only for my own interior life, but to obtain the fruitfulness of
a good interior life, for the church, for the good of all whom I meet.
It would not be exaggerating if I say there are ample opportunities in
religious life to live this interior life.
Sister Disciples of the Divine Master is a wonderful means to attain
such goal. A hidden life, like that of Blessed Virgin. Eucharistic
Adoration is the first and foremost aspect that attracted me to this
congregation; followed by the Priesthood and the liturgical apostolate.
It is a life living at the presence of the Lord, representing the whole
humanity by lifting them in prayers. In fact it is challenging to leave
behind the world, but also amazing in following Jesus in the life of
sacrifice.
Religious life is a wonderful means to attain holiness of life which is
my only goal. My religious life as pious disciples not only makes me
holy but makes me to radiate the light of holiness to the whole world in
doing my Eucharistic-Priestly and Liturgical apostolate. This is how I
proclaim Christ. In the words of our Blessed Founder, “Live and
give Jesus to the whole world.”
