A young woman who I am acquainted with via pro-life work has her vocation story shared in.....Marie Claire magazine! How cool is that?! This is a wonderful opportunity for the love of God to be shared with many who are searching...
"How do I grow as a woman without being a wife and mother?", she continues. "While I give up the natural expression of my sexuality, I of course retain my sexuality as something to be cherished. The void that these missing relationships leaves is kept empty so as to make room for God. While this emptiness can be difficult, it is also my greatest joy. I'm deeply in love with God." Sister Maria Teresa is radiant as she speaks, "By being a nun I am able to love in the most radical way imaginable, by giving up everything for my Beloved. This finally satisfies my immense need to love and be loved, to know and be known. The relationship is more intense, more intimate than any human relationship could be: I do have a husband, He is God."
