There is more joy in giving and serving.
For me, being a religious means meeting God in giving and serving. How and what do I give? How do I serve? These are the serious questions I ask myself very often.
I was fascinated by religious life, especially by the fact that there’s so much possibility to give and serve. Here I dedicate myself totally for others in a specific way of life led by a particular charism. There’s no personal agenda; my time, my talents, my energy and my life are dedicated for a passion that I have.
I have been inspired by many religious whom I have met while I was in school. The glow on their faces, the sacrifices they made to tour our villages and the joy with which they instructed people—all these were attracting forces for me, and an inspiration. I was particularly touched to see them distributing Holy Communion during Mass. I can still feel the same burning desire that I had then: to be able, just like them, to give the consecrated Body and Blood of Jesus to others.
