Sr Mary Joseph Sze first felt the gentle call to religious life at just 16. This year, she celebrates her Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years of devoted service with the Sisters of St Paul de Chartres Australia. Reflecting on her journey, Sr Mary Joseph describes Jesus as her bridegroom, one who lovingly “spoils his bride,” and she draws daily strength from this deep relationship. She reminds us that, like her, we are all God’s children, called to trust in His plan for our lives at every age. Her story stands as a testament to enduring faith, hope, and commitment. May we, too, experience the love that God freely gives and live out our vocation with courage and joy.
