Simple Truths to Cling to
March 31, 2021 | By Shiwen Yeo MC ‘23
I grew up in a convent. People often joke that I seem nothing like a convent girl and are genuinely surprised whenever I say that I didn’t go to elementary school. And while I was not raised Catholic, I think that my convent years had a profound impact on my spiritual life, in little ways that really add up.
Your Will Be Done
March 24, 2021 | By Katherine Matsukawa BK ‘23
I pray that I will decrease and that you will increase.
Use me, Lord.
Your will be done.
Growing up, whenever I heard someone pray these words, I’d typically think, good for them...but I could never pray those things sincerely.
