He was born in 1975. The beginning of his conversion took place when he was 23 years old, while he was finishing Chemical Engineering. \"At that time my project was based on being a good engineer, earning well and being successful. It was precisely on the eve of my birthday, when by chance I was participating in a retreat and had my first encounter with the person of Jesus. It was then that everything in my life changed radically,\" he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, before deciding to become a nun, she worked for 8 years at the Doping Laboratory in Lisbon, at the Portuguese Institute of Sports, where she felt very fulfilled through scientific research with immediate practical application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After this period, and having embarked on a path of vocational discernment and after learning about the Fraternity Arca de Maria in 2007, she joined it in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I was very impressed by the charism of this Fraternity, born in the Heart of the Virgin Mary, as we believe, to help fulfill the desire of Jesus manifested at Fatima in the month of July 1917: \"My Son wants to establish devotion to my Immaculate Heart in the world.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a first stage of formation in Brazil (where the community was founded), she was sent to the mission house in Italy, where, together with other members of the community and local lay people, they work in missionary activities related to the charism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recent years, the Fraternity has been able to identify the need for a more solid and comprehensive catechetical formation in order to care for souls with greater care. For this reason, she is in Rome studying Moral Theology. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
