I have been responding for the past 22 years to God’s call to follow him radically by giving myself to the Order, and to the service of the sick.
Years of giving myself freely, not without the difficulties that daily life brings. My experience of hospitality has always been run through by total trust in the presence of Jesus in the events of my life. Who, then, can separate me from the love of God? I know beyond doubt that today I am where God wills me to be, and every day I endeavour to defend the rights of the needy wherever my responsibilities and obedience place me.
St John of God has impressed me in a special way, not only as a man to look up to but also by configuring me internally and enabling me to express myself in joyful, free and friendly manner to take the Gospel to wherever I may be.
My experience in the community and in the manner in which the Order faces the world attracts me so that I cannot cease attracting others to follow Jesus along this path. I have been engaged in Vocations Promotion and the pastoral care of youth for the past 13 years helping people who are wondering whether the consecrated life might be another possibility in which to live theirs.
