Her discussion with them centered on the concepts of vocation and the Sacred Heart, emphasizing love as a fundamental calling. She inspired them to express love through tangible acts of kindness, empathy, and friendship.

To make the experience interactive, Sr. Rosa Maria invited the adolescents to write on paper hearts how they intended to share love in the world.

The activity was met with enthusiasm and joy, leaving a lasting impact on the young participants.
