“Respond to God’s will for my life. My profession of vows is an action that was initiated by God’s Love, which, in turn, has created in me an overflowing river of gratitude. As a result, this gratefulness has pressed me to want to respond to God’s will for my life, for God’s loving presence made me free, and, in St. Paul of the Cross’s words, “I live in holy freedom.”

It is this Holy Freedom and gratitude that give me the courage and grace to want to live as a vowed Passionist. Therefore, my final profession of vows was and will be the recognition of God’s Goodness to me and to all.”
