"When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit..." This describes my mom right now!! :) Her exact words were "I feel like Elizabeth when Mary came to greet her. Mary had such good news and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. My heart leapt with joy at your news. And my spirit is full to the point of tears. Bless you!" Thanks, Mom!
Today I went to meet with our Provincial about my future! She said that she spoke with the Superior General of our congregation and that it is official that I am accepted in the formation program of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus! My heart is SO JOYFUL right now!!!! The process will be challenging and lasts a long time, but just the idea of beginning makes me rejoice!
When I was talking to the Provincial, I was reminded of all of the people that have contributed greatly to my life, starting with Jesus, my parents, my family (biological and parish!), my friends, and the Missionary Sisters themselves! This time for me has been one of uncertainty, but of great faith in the will of God. I feel affirmed today that I'm listening. May my life be a continuous effort to be aware of Jesus in everything that I do! I truly feel that this is how God has been calling me to respond in my relationship with him, and I am so grateful for the support that has been offered by all! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
I need to go call my dad and my sisters, but I wanted you to know because I don't want to miss sharing it!! I want to shout from the rooftops!!! :)
Today we celebrate Mother Cabrini's entrance into heaven. This is typically the celebrated feast day of a saint, but hers is in November. It is very special for me to officially begin this part of my journey on the day that she finally got to see Jesus, whose Sacred Heart was the center of her life! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peace and Joy to you as we prepare to welcome Jesus, again, in a couple days!
