life experience:
When Frank told us his decision to become a nun, told us in words that opened our hearts of parents: "You see - we said - this thing I have not sought, was not in my projects and even in my dreams. When I realized that maybe the Lord was calling me to religious life, I tried to remove this thought and not to go along too. But gradually it became increasingly clear to me the Lord's will for me. I was not asked to reason and understand, but to respond in a spirit of acceptance and surrender. " He added: "I asked myself alone, but how is it that the Lord called me right, I do not have exceptional qualities, which are not better than many girls of my age? Discovered with joy that the Lord had set his eyes on while seeing me very well, very better than me, the limitations, flaws, weaknesses, frailties mine. So, I can trust Him and trust Him today and always accompanied my steps with his presence, with its support, with its light, with its strength. This certainly gives me great inner peace. "
These are the words of Frank helped us to understand that their children's lives, whatever path they take, is always a response to an initiative of God We are called to be parents, their neighbors ever, so that wherever the Lord will wait, they can go with great confidence and inner peace.
