Preparing for Profession
The Profession Retreat went very well. It was an inspiring time for reflecting on life as a vowed Passionist and the contributions the Congregation will make to my life and the contributions I will be able to make to my community and the Congregation as a whole.
The week seems to be rushing by so fast that I feel like I will not be able to do all the things I need to do. Of course this has to do with the extreme excitement I am experiencing. I have been longing for so long for this day and to take public vows is an incredibly serious thing to me.
Please continue to pray with me and for me, and let us all also continue to pray for an increase of vocations to religious life. It is a life I can not imagine being without and I am eager to share it with anyone who wants to share in our charism and who wants to be inspired by St Paul of the Cross to become a Passionist priest, brother or sister.
God bless
