I remember the day so vividly that it seems strange to think that sixty years have passed. They have been wonderful years full of joy and suffering, but always with Jesus who is my joy and strength. I am just grateful that I have been able to serve God in the Society of the Sacred Heart and know that the twenty years in Chile was a special grace for me as well as the months I had before my final profession at the Trinita dei Monti in Rome. Teaching in Peru was another grace as well as the years giving retreats and spiritual direction and the grace of having made several thirty-day retreats myself. I just have so much to be grateful for and want to keep on living each day in gratitude and joy. Let us pray for one another that we may give joy to all around us.
