When I finally dared to speak to a religious sister about it, she simply said, “You would like the Little Sisters of the Lamb. They’re very poor and very happy.”</p> <p>Her words went straight to my heart. But I couldn’t believe that out of all the communities that exist, I would be directed straight to the community I was called to. At the time, I didn’t yet understand how God speaks through the people and events in our lives.</p> <p>Eventually, I worked up the courage to visit the Little Sisters of the Lamb after visiting several other communities. I was far from disappointed; God had made this community for me! Nothing brings me happiness like our monastic life: contemplation of the Word of God, friendship with the poor, and going door to door to beg for our daily bread in the image of Jesus, who stands at the door and knocks.</p> <div class="page" title="Page 36"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p><strong>Little Sister Candice</strong><br /><em>Little Sisters of the
