“Even though it has been a very demanding study, time-wise, it has been worthwhile for all the I have learned.
All throughout my life, I never really meditated on what was my real vocation in life and in the world. In prayer, I was always asking God to show me what He wanted me to do with my life. Should I get married and have children? After I had my children, should I stay home and take care of them or continue working outside the home and leave my children in the hands of maids? I was always frustrated because I never knew what to do. So I continued doing what I was doing, which was working outside the home and leaving my children in the hands of maids.
Now I know why I did not get a clear answer. I did not know that in addition to praying where to look for it. By the grace of God now I know where to look: in the Holy Bible, the teachings of our church, in good books like Full of Grace, in a spiritual director and in belonging to a group of women strong in the faith.
I also know what is my vocation in life: to share in God ́s most sovereign act – the bringing of life both physical and spiritual as I was created body and soul. And my mission is to aid humanity in not falling and do much to heal the world. I am to follow the Virgin Mary’s example as she is the perfect model of womanhood.
During the study, I wished I had more time to dedicate to each chapter and to meditate on it. I felt as if I was always rushing to complete the lessons and many times I was unable to answer all the questions. Regardless of this, I went to all the classes. I think and feel I need to go through each chapter again to meditate on it and answer all the questions I was unable to answer.
It has been a wonderful experience and I thank our facilitator.“– Lina
