"I have always been a believer and a practising Catholic. When I was finishing secondary school, my spiritual director asked me very delicately if I had ever considered becoming a priest. I liked the idea and said yes almost instinctively. Devoting myself to God seemed like something exciting. [...] My father and mother were strongly opposed. My sister Donata, then a twelve-year-old girl, was in favour, however, and she supported me, including financially, throughout her life."
