Sr. Justina Apolonia Nio, CM
Indonesia
Fr. Palau said, “I, since childhood have been possessed and dominated by a passion that is Love” (MR p.747). In his youth, his heart nurtured a generous and growing passionate love for the Church. “Apart from the world, withdrawn into the convent to search for the Beloved in the austerities of the Religious life, in fasting, in silence, in poverty, I saw my loved one and I united myself to her in faith, hope and love” (MR p.748).
For 20 years, Fr. Palau was searching for the Beloved, the Church that is God and neighbor, the object of his love. He expressed his love for the Church through contemplation and action or prayer and mission (MR 756).
