One day I too received the gift of a vocationI came across Opus Dei through a letter that arrived at our local school about the Zunil School of Home and Hotel Management. My daughter Mirna was interested. We went to visit the school, we liked it and she decided to study there. Then the Christian renewal of the whole family started. I never thought I could be a member of Opus Dei. I watched our Lord calling each one of my daughters and for me it was like a dream. I saw that they were happy, helpful, hard-working… Until one day, I too received the gift of a vocation from God. Because the members of Opus Dei are people called by God. I have given myself to God, and it’s hard to live this self-giving every day; but I have learnt from Saint Josemaria that it’s here in the middle of the world, in the things of every day, where we are earning our sanctification, because to earn heaven is not easy, it’s difficult, but God helps us.http://www.josemariaescriva.info/article/one-day-i-too-received-the-gift-of-a-vocation |
