Thanksgiving for my 75 years of Religious Consecration as a Daughter of Christ the King.
Thank you Lord, THANK YOU very much.
Do not let yourself be defeated in generosity, 75 years of religious life.
When I made my First Communion, the catechist told us: "that day everything you ask the Lord will grant it to you", I was 7 years old and I told him "Lord, that I be a nun" and here I am... what I said, don't let yourself be defeated.
At the age of 17 I was already in the Novitiate...
THANK YOU for my family; I have not been able to enjoy my parents, siblings, but you have given me other parents and siblings who still are today... THANK YOU for my aunts, Apolonia and María, who raised me with effort and love, Thank you for my aunt Inés, religious Daughter of Christ the King and for my uncle and Antonio, a Jesuit, who has helped me so much in my spiritual life...
THANK YOU Lord for the years lived in Religious Life... THANK YOU Lord for having given me so much... THANK YOU Lord for my Institutional family, for so many Daughters of Christ the King with whom I have shared life and mission and for those who are part of my community today Glory to you, Lord Jesus!...
I want to thank the Lord for so many possibilities that throughout my life he has given me to share with so many lay people...Jaén, Seville, Villanueva de Córdoba, Almería, Granada, Albuñol, Benifayó...in these places so dear to me, I have met many people, people with whom I have shared the Charism and spirituality that our Founding Father, Fr. Gras, and also M. Inés left us... I have to highlight in my years in Almería the Charismatic Renewal that was a gift from the Lord, it made me much good, witnesses are some of what you find here...
What else to tell you Lord? Today my reality is also to thank you... I share my life with my sisters and how much you give me Lord...
To finish I say, THANK YOU for your fidelity that sustains mine, THANK YOU for your infinite mercy... Thank you for Mary whose YES helps me sustain mine.
Thank my Lord…
