"Guiding Light: A Tribute to the Selfless Journey of Sister Gloria Jacinta Adoga SSND"
In the heart of Kenya's bustling communities, amidst the whispers of young orphans and the vibrant spirit of St. Arnolds Nyalieng’a parish, there existed a guiding light, a beacon of selfless devotion and unwavering faith. Today, we gather to pay tribute to the remarkable life and legacy of a Nigerian religious nun who graced our lives with her presence, leaving an indelible mark on our souls.
With humility as her cloak and firmness as her staff, she navigated the path of service with grace and compassion. In the corridors of the parish and the hearts of the young orphans, she was a pillar of strength, embodying discipline tempered with kindness and generosity that knew no bounds.
Her ever-smiling face, a testament to her inner resilience, shone brightly even in the face of adversity. Through her gentle demeanour and unwavering resolve, she brought solace to the downtrodden and hope to the weary, illuminating the darkest corners with the light of her love.
But her impact extended far beyond the confines of the parish walls. For me, dear friend, you became a guiding star in my journey from adolescence to adulthood. With boundless love and unwavering support, you took me under your wing, offering not only a job but also nurturing my soul and guiding me in the sacred task of discerning my vocation. Thank you so much.
In you, I found not only a mentor but also a friend, a confidante, and a guardian angel who walked beside me through life's trials and triumphs always encouraging me. And as i stand on the threshold of my own calling, poised to follow in your footsteps as a nun, your spirit will continue to guide me, a gentle reminder of the transformative power of love and service.
Today, as we bid farewell to you, our beloved Sister Gloria Jacinta Adoga, let us take comfort in the knowledge that her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched and the hearts she inspired. Though she may have left this earthly realm too soon, her spirit will forever dwell in the sacred spaces she helped create, a lasting testament to the power of faith, hope, and love.
