I was born in Taiwan on January 15, 1938, the fifth of six children in my family. We were not Catholics at the time. Faith came into my life through my aunt, who was a catechist. She loved me dearly and asked my parents if I could live with her. They agreed, and from a young age, I grew up close to the Church. That was how I first came to know God.

As a child, I did not think very deeply about these things. I simply followed the life that was given to me. But I remember saying, almost playfully, “When I grow up, I don’t want to get married. I want to be a missionary.” At the time, I didn’t fully understand what that meant. It was just a quiet desire in my heart.

Looking back, I can see that it was already a beginning.
I continued my studies in BIS Taipei and later had the opportunity to go to Spain to study theology and learn Spanish. At the age of twenty-one, I entered religious life. Even then, I cannot say that I understood everything clearly. There was simply an attraction—a gentle pull. The work of God is often like that. We do not fully understand; we are invited to trust, and to believe that what is given is good.

After my formation, I was sent to serve in medical work. At that time, resources were very limited. Medicines arrived from abroad, often mixed together without clear labels. We had to sort them one by one, recognize them, and prepare them for patients. I was not a doctor, but there was no one else to do it.

In those moments, I learned something important: when you have love, God gives you understanding. Many times, I did not know how I knew—but somehow, I learned what was needed in order to help others.
​
If I had another life, would I choose to be a sister again? Honestly, I do not know. But I feel that God would still draw me, in a way I cannot explain. There is a quiet attraction that does not force, but gently leads.
And life with the sisters has been a gift.

Now that I am older, I sometimes feel a sense of sadness. I see other sisters working, serving, doing so much, while I can do very little. It can feel as though I am no longer useful. But they comfort me and say, “You have already done so much. Now it is time to rest.”
Still, in my heart, I often wonder: they care for me so much—how can I give back?

So I do what I can. When I am able, I help in small ways. When I am not, I learn to accept. And above all, I pray. Since they love me and do not want me to do too much, then my offering is to pray for them.
What I feel most deeply now is gratitude.
The love of my sisters is real. Through them, I have received so many graces. People say, “This is only natural—you are our sister, and you have served so much before.” But still, I know in my heart that everything I have received is a gift.

God has been very good to me—through each person, through each moment.

And for all of this, I am truly grateful.
Thank you for listening to my story. Your care and attention mean more to me than I can say.

*note: Sr. Rosario served the Institute and the Province of St. Vincent Ferrer with remarkable dedication in several key leadership roles. She was entrusted with responsibilities as Regional Vicar, Prioress Provincial, and later as General Councilor for three terms, during which she was based in Rome.

In community life and governance, she was known for her cooperative spirit and her ability to foster harmony among the Sisters. Many describe her as a peaceful presence—someone who listened attentively, worked collaboratively, and helped create unity wherever she was sent. At the same time, she carried a lightness of heart; her quiet sense of humor often brought joy to those around her, revealing a warm and approachable side that balanced her leadership.

​Her life of service reflects not only competence in responsibility but also a deeply human and relational way of leading.

我出生在台灣，民國二十七年一月十五日，是家中六個孩子中的第五個。我的家庭原本不是天主教教友。我的信仰，是從一位姑媽開始的——她是一位傳道員（Catechista）。她很疼愛我，向我父母提出讓我跟她一起生活。父母同意了，於是我從小就在教會的環境中長大，也因此認識了天主。

小時候，其實沒有想得很清楚，只是順著生活走。但我記得自己曾經很自然地說過：「我長大不要結婚，我要去傳教。」當時並不明白這句話的重量，只是一種很單純的嚮往。

現在回頭看，那也許就是一個開始。
我在台灣完成學業，之後也有機會到西班牙學習神學和西班牙文。二十一歲那年，我進入修會，成為修女。即使到了那個時候，我也不能說自己完全明白，只是心裡有一種被吸引的感覺。天主的工作常常是這樣，我們未必理解，但被邀請去相信——相信一切都是好的。

完成培育後，我被派去從事醫療服務。那是一段資源非常缺乏的時期。藥物從國外寄來，常常混在一起，沒有清楚標示，我們必須一樣一樣分辨、整理，再分裝給病人使用。我並不是醫生，但當時沒有其他人能做這件事。
就在那樣的情況下，我慢慢體會到：當一個人有愛心，天主會給他需要的智慧。很多時候，我也不知道自己是怎麼學會的，但就是一步一步，能夠幫助需要的人。

如果問我，如果有第二次生命，還會不會選擇做修女？老實說，我不知道。但我覺得，天主大概還是會用一種我說不上來的方式，再一次吸引我。那是一種溫柔的牽引，不勉強，卻真實存在。

而且，與姐妹們一起生活，本身就是一份恩典。
到了年老的時候，有時候我也會感到難過。看到其他修女仍然在努力工作、為我服務，而我自己能做的事情很少，好像變得沒有用了。但她們常常安慰我說：「你已經付出了那麼多，現在年紀大了，這是應該的。」
可是我心裡還是會想：她們對我這麼好，我要怎麼回報？
所以，我做我還能做的。如果可以幫忙，就盡力去做；如果做不到，就學著接受與順服。她們因為愛我，不讓我太勞累，那我能做的，就是為她們祈禱。

現在，我最深的感受，就是感恩。
修女們對我的愛，是很真實的愛。大家也會說：「這是應該的，你是我們的姐妹，而且你以前也服務了那麼多人。」但在我心中，我知道這一切都是恩典。

天主透過每一位姐妹，把愛給了我。
我真的，非常感激。
 

*Rosario 修女以極大的奉獻精神服務修會及聖文生‧費雷省區。她曾擔任區會長代表（Regional Vicar）、省會長（Prioress Provincial），並三度被選為總參議（General Councilor），期間常駐羅馬，參與修會整體的治理與決策。

​在團體生活與行政服務中，她以合作的精神與促進和諧的能力著稱。許多修女形容她是一位平和的人——善於傾聽、樂於與人共事，並在所到之處建立合一的氛圍。同時，她也帶著一份輕鬆幽默的特質，時常為團體帶來歡樂，展現出親切而溫暖的一面。

她的服務不僅體現在職務上的盡責，更展現出一種以關係為本、富有人性關懷的領導風格。
