Sr. Rani Michael celebrates her 25^th Jubilee of her Religious Profession today. We praise and thank God for her life and vocation in our Congregation. She has been a God's servant in all the special moments of our presence in India as well as in the South Asian Independent Delegation. She was our first Delegation Superior. Her tireless services are remarkable. Following the words of St. Antony Mary Claret, "whole world is the Mother Land for the Missionary of Christ".

She opted to cross the ocean and to go to the mission in Madagascar. We are grateful to you dear sister for your love and care, that you have continually showing to all of us. May God continue to shower up on you His blessing, as you journey with Him.  Congratulations Dear sister!

Perpetual Profession of Srs. Martina and Saranya

 

Perpetual Profession of Srs. Martina and Saranya

Every vocation is a gift from God to humankind, but the vocation to serve God in the consecrated life is a special gift. God directs this invitation not to all but only to certain chosen people. His choice is totally free and always remains a mystery.

On 17th of June, 2023, Srs. Martina and Saranya consecrated their life totally to God in the community of Antonia Paris Nilaya, Mysore India. On this special day of Perpetual profession, we pray that God continue to bless them and guide their path.

Congratulations

dear Sisters!

                

                                

Junior’s Encounter

 

Let us join hands in fraternal communion

[Junior’s Encounter, Jan 26-29, 2023]

“Cherish others by recognizing their abilities, caring for all”. With joy I would like to share the experience of our encounter with the guidance of our dear Sr. Petronille (General Prefect of Formation) based on the theme of ‘Fraternal Communion’. We were seven junior sisters who took part in this journey together to make our young spirit alive in building and living communion. It was a cherishing moment to recognize the goodness in others. Daily we began our encounter with the morning prayer of Maria Antonia Paris to illuminate, to know God and self. During these days of encounter, we had discussions, meditation and sharing which opened our eyes to see the beauty in each other and appreciate one’s own values.

“The members of a religious community are united by the love of Christ and commitment to the kingdom of God, because they share their love and commitment, they bond together in the community”. From all eternity, our God had never said ‘I’ it has always been ‘WE’. So, the community requires the attitudes of appreciation, simplicity, hospitality, sense of humor, humility, politeness, gratitude, conversion and prayer. When we are able to develop these attitudes in our community, we become another Christ by breaking and sharing our life in communion.

Our heartfelt gratitude to Sr. Petronille who shared her life experiences which motivated and inspired us to be more alive in the journey of living in the community.  Her way of life has taught us the values of simplicity, patience and cheerfulness which we can inculcate in our day-to-day life.

“The secret of making progress is to get started”. We are not far off…we begin here and now to build communion in our communities where we belong. ‘WE CAN START ANEW’.

The joyous and grateful memories of celebrating the 25th years of our presence in India. God has done a work, which could not be effected by the weak power of man.
