On this day in 2019 (4 years ago already!), I attended my first papal Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica. It was a celebration of #ConsecratedLife. In his homily, Pope Francis reminded us:

“To retrace in our mind the decisive moments of encounter with [Jesus], to renew our first love, perhaps writing down our love story with the Lord - this would be good for our consecrated life, so that it does not become a time that passes by, but rather a time of encounter.”
