[img]https://www.sistersofmary.org/images/Sr_%20Lisa.JPG[/img]Like many others, my faith journey has been a series of small conversions. One moment that particularly stands out is a family mission trip to Guatemala. It was on this trip that I first desired to give my life for Christ and His people. I just wasn’t sure how He wanted me to do that! The mission trip and other events in high school enkindled the flame of love; however, that flame smoldered as I focused on my own plans and choices, which left me feeling empty and longing for something greater. During college, I met faithful young people who inspired me to seek the joy I had been missing—joy that could only be found in the Lord! After going on retreat with the Dominican Sisters of Mary in 2009, my faith was reignited, and I found myself falling in love with Christ and the Church. As my studies continued at Purdue University, God started calling me to give everything. Through His abundant grace, I applied during my senior year and was accepted for entrance into the Community. Undoubtedly, this Fiat, a “yes” without reserve, will have its trials along with great joy, but I just place all my trust in Jesus’ boundless love and mercy! I am so grateful for my two parish families, St. Joseph and St. Thomas Aquinas, especially our priests, for their constant prayers and support.
