I want to be a sister because my own desire. The
Lord called me when I am still in my mother’s
womb. In my heart there is a
saying "Come follow me". This voice I hear din my heart since I was in
elementary until I finish my Senior high school. I know the Claretian Sisters
from my brother actually who know the sisters as well. When I hear of Claretian, I immediately fell
in love. I’m happy of it.
Further more, I was given cell phone number of
one of the Claretian Sisters (Sr. Emanuela Ratna). I used to have contact with Sr. Ratna
for 3 months without seeing face to face, only through the mobile phone. My
willingness to join in this congregation is because one of the Claretian missions
is to serve God and neighbor. And after living for several months in Jogjakarta community , the things
that attract me in this community is their services and community life. Usually
on Sunday, I used to accompany the sisters to give communion for the sick and I
come to know this congregation through the celebration of foundation day just
we celebrated last month. It’s so exciting since we had some activities and one
of them is to draw the face of Mother Paris and St. Maria Antonia. There are
sisters who give input for my drawing; there are sisters who laugh because they
feel funny. All jokes and laughter are
my beautiful experiences here .I really feel happy that I can’t express with
words. Only God knows how happy I live this kind of life as Claretian
Missionary Sister , LIFE IN COMMUNION.
