A Journey of Grace and Commitment: Step into Postulancy
The stage of aspirancy has been a deeply meaningful chapter of growth and spiritual transformation for us. Coming from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and expectations, we have grown together in faith, confidence, and vocational clarity through prayer, study, community life, and the dedicated guidance of the sisters. Each of us carries a special experience from this precious time.
Reflections from Our Heart
- Sweeti Paslein
"My one year in the community has helped me learn many new things. I have grown in prayer, learned to live with others, and experienced the loving guidance of the sisters. During times of difficulty, I felt their support and encouragement. Through community life, I have come to understand more deeply that Jesus must remain at the center of my life."
- Bahunika Suiting
"I was inspired to join the Daughters of the Church, and my time in the convent has been a journey of learning and growth. I learned to pray and received patient guidance from the sisters. Eucharistic adoration, community prayer, and daily convent life helped me understand sacrifice, forgiveness, and trust in God more deeply."
- Barisha Matlai
"My experience in the community has brought me great joy. Through Holy Mass, meditation, prayer, and community life, I have grown closer to God. I have also experienced the sisters as loving and caring companions who have supported me like a family. My one year in the community has strengthened my desire to continue faithfully in my vocation."
- Mary Goreti Ekka
"My journey has taught me the importance of prayer, retreat, and service. I experienced the joy of being part of the community and the grace of praying for others. A retreat became a special moment for me to deepen my relationship with God and to listen more closely to the movement of the Holy Spirit in my life."
- Dariful Umbah
"My one year in the convent as an aspirant has been a time of learning and transformation. I learned Bible sharing, prayers, and many aspects of community life. The sisters patiently guided me and encouraged me to do better. Their love and support have helped me grow in confidence and prepare for the next step of my vocation."
- Jubika
"I joyfully responded to the inspiration to join the Daughters of the Church. My beginning in community life brought many new experiences, but gradually I learned to follow the daily rhythm and responsibilities of convent life. The sisters supported and encouraged me, and through their guidance, I have grown in faith and learned to trust God more deeply."
A Joyful Step Towards Postulancy
As we complete this stage of aspirancy, we are grateful for all that God has done in us through the community. We now look forward with joy and hope to the next step: Postulancy.
We are grateful to Sr. Sabini, the Delegate Superior, and her councillors, Sr. Jolly and Sr. Regina, who joyfully welcome and accept us as we take this new step. They appreciate our dedication, openness, and readiness to continue our journey of religious formation. Their encouragement reminds us that this vocation is a gift to be received with humility, courage, and perseverance.
We are grateful to Sr. Jolly, our Mistress, who is ready to accompany us in this new stage. She welcomes us as her children and is willing to walk with us, guide us, and help us grow in the spirit of religious life as we proceed from aspirancy to postulancy.
The whole Indian Delegation and all the community members rejoice with us on this special occasion. With grateful hearts, they welcome us into this next stage, praying that our journey may continue to be guided by the Holy Spirit and strengthened by the love of Christ. As we commemorate the birthday of Mother Mary today, let us place our formative journey under her maternal care and guidance.
