The vocation story and personal reflections of a young teaching Sister.
Why be a Religious?
I believe that vocation to religious life is like a sapling which needs to be planted, watered, pruned and tended. It requires constant attention and nurturing. Life is a constant flow with unexpected changes and transitions; this is so true in the present situation of Covid-19 pandemic. This critical period has made us all reflect on the way we have lived our lives. I want to do something similar with regard to my religious vocation.
I have had the opportunity to look into my past and see how God has blessed me abundantly and I have grown in deep gratitude and look ahead with more confidence. In the light of that gratitude and confidence, I ask myself: Why am I a religious? To what way of life was I called? How did I know? These questions transported me back to my exciting initial call.
