Religious life is something which should be primarily seen as a gift of God. It is a gift of grace which calls men and women to give their whole lives to the love and service of the Lord Jesus, through the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. I have been in religious life for over five years and overall, during these years I have experienced a great sense of peace and fulfilment in living this way of life. Through the elements of Dominican life, through living in community, through prayer, through study and preaching, I have come to a deeper knowledge of the great mystery of God’s love, and it has been a great joy to be able to witness to this love and to share it with others through various forms of preaching.
