I entered the Institute in 1966 just before Vatican II. When I decided, I had a restlessness in me, something which I could not put in words. My desire was to marry. Settle down and have a large family. As things turned out to, later proved to be true, I do belong to a large family of F.M.M.

I was touched by the infinite LOVE OF GOD who will always care for us and do things in His own way and in His own time.
My parents were both dead and we were a family of eight. I was the eldest girl, so it was logical that my mission was to take care of the youngest ones. In order to set my mind at rest I went to confession and asked for advice. I was told that I had a vocation.
I pleaded what about my family? " God will take care of them".

I entered in Loughglynn, a beautiful setting in Roscommon, where the FMM were very popularly known as the Cheese Sisters. Every morning the donkey carts brought in the big containers of fresh milk, milk which will be transformed into big rounds of delicious cheese.
We were a happy group of sixteen novices with the usual ups and down as Vatican II was creeping in and bringing many changes to religious life.

In 1977, I arrived in Pakistan, Karachi, then came up to Renala for the Chapter of Mats. What a change! So many rich experiences. I loved the simplicity of the people. Their warm hospitality and beautiful children.
In Pakistan my life was influenced by our own senior missionary sisters, for them life was a joy and they loved the Institute. They had great zeal and courage. I love my mission and I am gratefull to God that He continues to use me with many limitations.

Mary of the Passion was a woman ahead of her time. I hope and pray, that her dream for universal mission will continue to grow in depth and be always more and more meaningful even with the drop of vocations.
