The Lord has a plan for each of us; he calls each one of us by name. Our task is to learn how to listen, to perceive his call, to be courageous and faithful in following him and, when all is said and done, to be found trustworthy servants who have used well the gifts given us.
Pope Benedict XVI

Sr. Sarah O'Rourke share her story with us.
What are you going to do with your one, wild and wonderful life?
This line from a poet whose name I cannot recall, came back to me as I reflected on what I might share with you today. On August 5th this year I will celebrate the Silver Jubilee of my profession as a Salesian Sister. I can honestly say that I don't know where the time has gone.
There is no one particular moment or reason that I can identify, in finalising my decision to become a Salesian Sister. It was something that evolved over time. I went to a Salesian Sisters' Secondary School and was very impressed by the way the Sisters related to us pupils. I couldn't believe my eyes when they actually played basketball with us and spoke to us between classes on the corridors. I was particularly fascinated by the variety of hymns we learned, and whose meaning I could clearly understand.
