About Women in Formation: When I was discerning with different religious communities, I came across the quote: "Carefully observe what way your heart draws you, and then choose that way with all your strength." (Author unknown) This became my mantra and prayer as I followed the Spirit's leadings in my life.  When I met the Apostles, I gradually discovered this is where my heart was drawing me.  While I'm still discerning a call to religious life (from the "inside" now), I can honestly say I'm in the right place with the right women.  God is supporting me and nurturing me every step of the way.  The love of His Sacred Heart is abundant and life-giving. Draw close to His Heart and you will be amazed!
