Barbara Bowe, rscj, province of the United States

Attention: open in a new window.

I'll begin first with a conviction. I am convinced that each one of us has within us a word that needs to be spoken, a poem that needs to be penned, a song that needs to be sung, or - as in my case - a book that needs to be written. For me, Biblical Foundations of Spirituality: Touching a Finger to the Flame (Sheed & Ward, 2003) was such a book. It had to be written. But, in a way, I didn't so much write it - it wrote me!

Ila Prohaszka rscj, Central European Province

Due to the political situation in 1948 - 1949 M. de Lescure made up her mind to close the two communities in Budapest. Our schools had been nationalised and the rscj's were moved into our houses in Austria. The 13 Hungarian novices and postulants together with the mistress of novices, M. Walburga Spee and two Professed were given shelter in Avigliana, Italy. I was only a student at that time, but as I was sure of my vocation as an RSCJ I left Hungary with them.

Mariola López Villanueva rscj, province of Spain Center - South

When I was fourteen, I remember, I liked to imagine what life would be like at thirty; I wanted to be able to look

through a window and see what I would be doing. Of all the settings that girl could have imagined, none could be as beautiful or surprising as the one I live in now.

Isabel Garcia rscj, Province of Chile

Attention: open in a new window.

When I am asked to share my life-story, I feel that it costs me to reveal myself, but looking at what God has placed in me as seeds and the opportunities that He has gifted, making them sprout forth and, in some cases gathering the fruit (Jn 15) I can only be grateful for and recognize that what has been given me freely is for me to freely surrender for the good of the body of the church (1Cor.12)

For nearly two decades, I have been an attorney working primarily with immigrants: people who overstayed their visas, people who came to the U.S. without papers, people who have fled to this country out of fear of persecution, undocumented women who have abused and are at the end of their rope.

Nguyen Xuân rscj, Province of Belgium- Netherlands

Attention: open in a new window.

My name is Xuân and I like rice. I haven't got used to cheese, or beer, or potatoes, even though I've been living with the Sisters of the Belgium-Netherlands Province for 13 years. Which means that my brain has been fed in the north, but my stomach remains genetically southern.

Carmen (Mamen) Diaz rscj, Province of Northern Spain

Attention: open in a new window.

I was finishing my Biology thesis when I finally realised that to discover and reveal the Lord's Love in everything could fill the meaningless void in my life. I entered religious life, which is increasingly becoming a symbol of my experience of God's Love, and the means of responding to it.
