JUNIOR'S ENCOUNTER

                      

                    We the juniors from India and Sri Lanka had participated in Junior’s encounter from 27^th to 31^st of December. First of all I thank God and our congregation for giving us the opportunity of this encounter. We had gathered to discuss and deepen about our consecrated life. We also shared about the challenges and experiences in the consecrated life. The sessions were really enriching and helped us to deepen about our identity, the consecrated life and the necessity to do the examination of the conscience every day of our life. At the end we had concluded the session with recollection day. It was really good, where we recollected the whole year of our ups and downs and God’s hand in it. And we were grateful to God.
