"Anybody that God has entrusted to me to care for...it's looking at reverence in the human person in such a way that when I encounter them, that they're encountering that mercy, that tenderness, that beauty of God, which is a real gift to participate in." After taking steps to follow Christ more intentionally and putting aside her dreams to become a renowned virologist, Erin Kinsella thought that her vocation was to the religious life. But as she pursued Jesus in this vocation, things weren't totally falling into place the way that she would have liked. As it turned out, Erin had been set apart by God, and this led her to explore the vocation of consecrated virginity. In this episode, we talk to Erin about her background in science, her beautiful and amazing vocation story, and what it means to image the Church in the world as a Bride of Christ.
