Sr. Helen Vincent fmm
P.S. Sister was my companion in SMC community since 1963.
She touched our lives…
In our life journey we encounter hundreds of Teachers, students, colleagues, friends, priests and religious sisters, with whom the Lord allowed us to have some acquaintance for a short while or for a long time. Among thousands of the people we meet, very few leave in us lasting, unerasable impressions or memory by genuine goodness that reflect God.
Sr.Juliana’s presence in the campus of Stella Maris for more than 30 years represented for most of us the presence of God in His love and companionship, goodness and kindness.
We remember the fragile sister with angelic walk, extremely gentle behavior, docile humility and a welcoming prayerfulness. SR. Juliana was an exception among the noisy, work-oriented, result-oriented, ambition-oriented intellectuals and professionals as she thought that her role and duty on earth was only to be of service to others.
She touched our lives. She was a reminder that everything we do is for God and only goodness and kindness matter – a perfect religious – an exemplary nun and Franciscan in her simple smile and contented life.
Surely, someone who touches us and leaves a deep impression through goodness takes us closer to God.
We thank God for giving us an opportunity to live and share our lives with dear Sr. Juliana. She will live in her goodness and will be our sure intercessor in heaven.
