God found me twice. The first time, I was a teenager who had no idea why she existed. The second time, I was a young woman who thought she finally knew—until her fiancé died. God met me in my darkest days. With thoughts that were impossible to silence. Without the strength to keep living. With […]
Testimony
Called
I didn’t want to go. Whenever I thought about traveling alone to Africa, I felt an overwhelming knot of anxiety deep in my stomach. I kept telling myself that I didn’t have to do it. That if the thought filled me with dread, I could simply let it go. But that wasn’t the kind of […]
About children
I had other plans. I wanted to pray for the people at the end of the service. I left the small village church for just a moment. I changed Francis’ diaper, fed the children and left them with Tony. Up to that point the plan had worked. But when I returned to the church, it […]

2/ He is above names
In the first year of high school, I already knew a bit about the Bible, so during catechesis I liked to comment on the teacher’s statements based on the Word. One time the teacher asked me to stay in class after the lesson. He said he can see in me the desire to know God. […]
1/ Desire of closeness
For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be close. This cry within me. Cry for God. One Sunday, I don’t know how old I might have been then, but less than thirteen, I went to church. I went to church every week for Sunday Mass, and even every day at certain points […]
