💛 This Vocation Sunday, we celebrate Eugenia-John Teresa-Maria's powerful Testimony upon being baptised into the Catholic Church!

"I started out as a Protestant with a relatively stable spiritual life. As someone deathly afraid of spiritual sloth and negligence, hearing my friends in cell group share about their inability to set time aside for God daily made me extremely worried that I would eventually fall into the same experience.
I was introduced to daily Mass by a Catholic friend. Upon learning that the Eucharist was truly the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ—which I somehow immediately accepted—I made the resolution to go for Mass every single day to meet our Lord.
To connect with God throughout the day and pray better, I was introduced to Catholic prayers like the Rosary, litanies, chaplets, devotions, etc.
Alongside pursuing a deeper interior life, I found Carmelite spirituality exceptionally close to my heart. The question of vocation eventually emerged, and I developed a desire for consecrated life, but only after being baptised through RCIA.
Throughout my preparation, I was privileged to join more Catholic groups like NUS Legion of Mary, SPP Choir, “NUSCarmel", have an SD etc. Having sung for over 14 years, I was always somehow gravitated to the less “interesting” Latin hymns and chants in the choral repertoire, so it has been a pleasure to have my interests more integrated into my spiritual life.
I reckon many expect me to feel that “flame of fervour” of newness, but having been involved in the Church quite a fair bit, I strangely feel no difference exteriorly. Interiorly, however, there is now a deep joy in being able to actually receive our Lord at the Masses I go for, to rest in the gentle love of God that carried me through this journey and beyond, to see that one pair of footprints in the sand that belong to Him, and to live more truly in His grace in every moment of my life."
