On 7-14 May 2024, we Postulants Princess Aezel P. Platon and Jessah Simplicia F. Clarito have undergone Spiritual Exercises in preparation for our entrance to the Novitiate. Sr. Purisima Tañedo accompanied us during these days. It was an occasion for us to discover God in a new light, to recognize the need to liberate ourselves from egoism, and to prepare ourselves to the path of conversion. Through the prayer of discernment, we have encountered the Lord intimately in the Word of God. It also led us to acknowledge the great sense and foundation of our life.
During the Feast of St. Matthias, we entered the Novitiate on 14 May at the Chapel of the Novitiate community in Broadway, Quezon City. After the celebration of the Word of God, Sr. Purisima Tañedo, Provincial Superior, addressed some words to us and to the sisters present, basing from the Gospel reading of the day. She mentioned that strengthened by the Holy Spirit who is Love, this same love motivates us to offer our lives to the Lord and we are invited to love one another with the same love which Jesus has for us. At the conclusion of the rite, we were entrusted by Sr. Puri to Sr. Doris Arcon, the novice mistress.
As we begin this new stage in our formative journey, we continue to ask for grace from the Lord to follow more closely Jesus Good Shepherd, as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We ask you to please accompany us with your prayers.
The Novices Princess Aezel P. Platon and Jessah Simplicia F. Clarito
