Twenty-five years ago, more or less on this month of January, I have decided to enter the religious life, in other words, to become a nun. It was a decision that I just kept within myself for a few weeks, waiting for it to mature and to become something that I would be ready to share with others.
Going back to that experience I can say that it was a combination of events and my feelings that has made me to go for that decision. On hindsight, I can say that it was the right time.
So, that was the BIG CALL.
But Jesus calls me everyday, addressing me the same words "Come, follow me...". Now it is not anymore the physical leaving of my home, my career, my plans for the future. Now Jesus calls me to follow Him - His ways, His passion, His identity as God's child. And this is my contribution in the building of the Kingdom. This is how I become a fisher of men - when I allow my life to be totally transformed by the love of God, just like Jesus.
