I'm Anna-Riina,
I'm from Finland and
I'm 25 years old.
I've been a Catholic for
3 and a half years now
and as a Catholic
I've been able to
go deeper into my faith,
have more grace through all the sacraments.
Saint Josemaria has taught me
how to dedicate everything I do
to God, like everything:
work, study, being with friends,
and I think the most important thing for me has been
the thought of
giving everything to God,
like everything you do:
your studying, working,
you can turn everything into prayer
and everything you can give to God
and also I think the idea of apostolate
and how in his writings and in his spirituality,
it's so simple: apostolate is just to love people.
God loves me
and I love other people
and I also want them to be closer to God,
so of course I want to help them.
So the simple idea of this
and the unity of life so I don't have
a separate life as a christian and
then I go to work
and tell horrible jokes
and talk badly about people
because this might happen,
this might happen to people
so they have a religious life
and separately their working or studying life
where they don't think about their faith at all.
So, yeah, this has been a really,
really good thing for me,
to learn how to give everything
I do to God and do everything I do for Him.
