Many of us want to walk through good path, because such paths
are normally clear and safe that there will not be any stumbling
blocks during their journey. But those who try to pave new
path and walk in it are very few, because it is not an easy task.
So, I believe that, by the grace of God, I have opted for the sec-

Catholic Church. Our congregation is a missionary congrega-
tion. Our patroness wanted to go to five continents and preach
the word of God. As the members of her congregation, we do
follow the same spirit and charism of her. So, I am extremely
happy and privileged to venture into the new mission and work
among the poorest.
