Terry Danganan and Edna Fuentes who guided me in my discernment.&nbsp; I don\u2019t know what my family must have thought when they learned I\u2019m giving up everything just to enter the convent.&nbsp; But they had varied reactions.&nbsp; Only my eldest sister seemed to understand me for she never withdrew her support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Vocation is a mystery and so is a call.&nbsp; But now I understood why I took education instead.&nbsp; It awakened something in me that led to greater service and to its core which is loving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Becoming a Good Shepherd Sister is a privilege and a responsibility.&nbsp; When I said \u201cyes\u201d to God, I just didn\u2019t say \u201cyes\u201d I am not kidding, but I also say yes to His invitation to be healed, to become whole and to be loved and most of , I said \u201cyes\u201d to His invitation to share and to spread His love to those who are least loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sr Daisy celebrated her Silver Jubilee of Profession last April 24, 2024.
