The Founders and Foundresses of SSpS did a great job by doing their mission.
St. Arnold Janssen, Blessed Maria Helena Stollenwork and Blessed Josepha Stenmanns were in the mission together and was able to make a difference. They accepted the tasks God has given to them and they were able to develop a congregation that filled their intense passion for the mission apostolate.
They trusted God in leading them to a life that He knows they can handle and they accepted all the challenges that came in their life. These three were ordinary people that lived their life spreading their faith.
Because of these three it made me believe that everything is truly possible if you have faith. They may have faced difficulties in doing what they wanted to do but they never stopped. They did their best for God.
These three extraordinary figures were all in the mission together and their hard work was not all in vain because now we're celebrating 125 years of the SSpS. We should always remember them because they were the brave ones who said "Yes" to God and was not afraid to live their life by serving God.

My Role Model: St. Elizabeth of Portugal.
Saint Elizabeth of Portugal is my role model because she dedicated her life to the poor and was the peacemaker of her family and between nations.
She is royalty but that never stopped her from caring to all the people. When I first read about her I was shocked to know that she was a Princess that became a Queen later on when she married the King of Portugal. Usually when you think of someone with that status they would be someone who looked down upon people who were poor and would have no patience but St. Elizabeth wasn't like that at all.
She devoted her life to the poor, she spent her youth in devotion to God. She once said that God made her Queen so that she may serve others. She is my role model because she is a peacemaker that had the ability to influence people. I look up to her because she had deep faith and devotion to God.
The things she did may be considered as hard to do these days but I will do my best to be like my role model that loved and served the poor. This 2015 is a new year for all of us and one of my New Year resolutions this year would be to have peace in my life and work hard to have more faith and have a deeper connection with God.
