I remember asking myself, "Who is God?" and "Why am I going to church?" Day in day out that question pounded within me, yearning to discover an answer, till one day, with God's grace, the word "LOVE" emerged. This did not conclude here but it steered me to another question, "How do I return that Love?" The funny thing is I want to deny the answer to this question. As a child, I had always gone to school with the Sisters of the Holy Cross and I saw them praising God with all their minds, hearts, and soul. I guess it was because I thought sisters could only be holy people. Anyhow that phase soon passed away when I was asked to "Come and See." I stayed.

Now that I am actually living with the Sisters of the Holy Cross, I am fortunate that I chose this path because I realized that many graces God had given me. Such as not doing things to impress others but doing thngs only to become closer to God. Let me inform you a little bit about how it is that you can become closer to God from my daily life. From the time we wake up, we devote our entire day to Him and pray tha twe will do His will. I realize that his appears to be very simple: however it is very powerful. Like many others, we too, set off to school but our motive is a bit different. We go to school not to earn a degree, but to receive, through prayer, the gift of knowledge that God wants us to have. After that we come together as a community to adore and give praise to the One who loves us so much. From then on you probably won't believe it but we actually get to see the sisters without their habit (blue dress) and as someone more than what you normally see them as, for they all jump, scream, dance, watch movie, head out to the beach to relax, go swimming and of course I thank God for the beautiful images that can not be duplicated in anyway. During the weekends we go out and spread to others, especially our students, the grace of love of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Therefore, life with the Sisters of the Holy Cross created a closer relationship between God and me. I am maybe a bit holier in God's eyes.
