1. I praise you, Lord, for your creation. 
For all your wonders.
You chose me from the moment of my conception
To be at your service.

2. You gave me good parents
Who looked after me at all times.
Brothers and sisters to love
And to learn to share.

3. You called me to serve you
I had to choose you
Between a human love
Stronger than anything else in my path.

4. Meeting a spiritual father, Father Parent,
Who freely guided me
To devote my life simply
To serving the Lord through teaching.

5. So many struggles and sacrifices,
But, Lord, with your grace,
You were the great winner.
Welcomed by the Oblates,
To be a peacemaker.

6. Throughout my life,
Leaders have placed their trust in me
To walk the path of love and sharing.
More formative than anything else,
Responsibilities have been entrusted to me.

7. The Volunteers of God, an associated group
A great source of inspiration for me
By inviting them to share our mission
To be rays of love around us.

8. Lord, you are my light and my strength,
With your mother Mary, a gift of joy.
Thank you for my 65 years of consecrated life,
Supported by your grace in the present moment.
Alleluia for so many wonders!
