5 years ago, Sr. Luiza Simon came to start her mission with us here at Holy Infancy. Last weekend, she shared with us that the Lord is calling her to her next mission. This was her message for those who might not have heard.
“As we hear our readings the Spousal imagery and Jesus at a wedding ceremony, it evokes in me feelings of anticipation… excitement.. nervousness.. but most of all, a deep sense of peace, joy, and gratitude… “and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so shall our God rejoice in you and me.
During this Christmas break, I wrote my letter asking for permission to Profess my Perpetual Vows this August; to give the gift of my whole self, in chastity, poverty, and obedience, as a Sister of Christian Charity —FOREVER!
Those of you who are married, or discerning marriage, know what I’m going through in a sense, correct? Pray for me, because however romantic and sweet it is to get married and especially to be vowed to God FOREVER, all relationship has its joys and sorrows. Correct? But in the deep exchange of “I love you, God”, everything becomes peaceful.
And the Lord, in His great love, invited me to be with Him on a next mission, back to my home country Philippines, to help care for our blind children and young women.
This May, I will be finishing my time here at Holy Infancy.. then leave to spend the summer in preparation for Final Vows, then head to Philippines sometime after Vows in August.
At this time, Fr. Andy and I are actively speaking with someone to continue the service of leading our PREP program starting in May. Pray for the one whom God will call to serve our parish family, for the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Since I am still here until end of May, we will save our farewell, and rather, let us give praise to God, glorifying Him by the life we live. Thanking Him for the love that we have for each other.
Lastly, as I have promised Fr Andy….
Please buy Lucky 7 raffle tickets.
I hope to see more of you here so we can pray together and we can all enjoy the fruits of our Lucky 7 Raffle.
