Sr. Patricia Edward Sr. Patricia Edward hails from New Bedford, MA. As young teenagers,
she and Sr. Denise Cecilia investigated religious communities together. “ Before I entered our congregation, I remember reading a wonderful quote by our Founder, Blessed James Alberione: ‘She who possesses knowledge, who has the intellectual gifts and will power, a tremendous capacity to love, a spirit of self-sacrifice, an ardent desire for holiness and a consuming thirst for souls—let her come with confidence to the Daughters of St. Paul. She can spend herself completely in the Pauline apostolate…while her horizons stretch out before her, ever broader and more beautiful.’ “After twenty-five years as a professed sister, I honestly feel as if I’m still just beginning to uncover the mystery and depth of my vocation. Our Founder has said that we’re called not merely to imitate Jesus and bring Him to others, but to actually allow Him to incarnate Himself in us. This is my goal as a Daughter of St. Paul: to let Jesus think, and act, and love in me. What could be more beautiful?” Sister Denise Cecilia Benjamin
