Jubilee of 25 years of religious life - Brazil

You seduced me Lord, I let myself be seduced. (Isaiah 20:7)

I thank God for having called me to consecrated life - in the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Notre Dame - and in the faith that he will always be with me, strengthening my hope.
How many years have passed, how many graces have been poured out.
God is good and faithful. May he continue to sustain my vocation.
I give thanks for all the challenges I have experienced. They have helped me to mature.
Thanks for the opportunity to exercise the spirit of obedience.
I ask the Good Lord to continue to bless me and to continue to be more in love with Him every day. Any sacrifice is worth it. I'm happy!
Jesus loves me with eternal Love. He is, in fact, in love.
For me, celebrating 25 years of Jubilee is saying yes to Christ and to serving my brothers and sisters and his Kingdom.
It's praising God through his love and his word, which becomes broken bread.

Gratitude to Our Lady of Purification Parish for allowing us to realize this memorable moment Gratitude is thanksgiving and praise. I conclude by saying the words of Saint Augustine: "Lord, it is hard to follow you, but it is impossible to leave you".
