“Sister Mary's talk about vocation and mission was very inspiring, encouraging, relevant and even challenging for me. I was very moved by the talk about vocation and, in particular, the call to ‘BE’. Many times, I tend to do more than just be. It was very good to be reminded that my vocation as a religious is above all to 'BE'. I realized that many times I have created an imbalance between doing and being. The talk made me realize how important it is to be. Thus, deepen my relationship with God and with my brothers and sisters. I also feel challenged to be open to God's work in my life and to be able to hear his voice to discern my life according to his will.

“It amazes me how in fragility we can always see the mark left by the strength that is God. This invitation to embrace fragility has reminded me that we are sons and daughters of the pierced heart of Jesus and of the pain-ridden heart of Mary. It is in these hearts that we drink and strengthen ourselves to embrace, accompany and endure the frailties of our world. From these hearts springs our charism, that was born in a time of great instability, fragility and vulnerability.”
