The graceful movement of juniors
As we are in the year of mercy, it is a year of grace for each one of us.
We thank the Lord for the privilege and opportunity that the Lord has given us. We had 3 days seminar for the juniors in the community of nirmala nivas, Mysore, it was conducted by junior’s coordinator Sr. rani, on topic of “be merciful as your heavenly father is merciful”. As we are in the jubilee year of mercy, the Gospel is inviting us to become a living Gospel through our witness. As Jesus mission began by proclaiming the Mercy of God “the spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted, and freedom to those in captives and to proclaim the year of the lords mercy.” This is what we wish to live now. Through going to the roots of our own charism of our congregation, to renew ourselves, the divine mercy demands us mercy. If only we can experience the infinite mercy of God we can really practice this Christian love and mercy. It was very good time for each one of us to come together as one family. That we were renewed by the spirit, especially to share our life experience and it has helped us to grow. As well as we were able to feel the mutual support of our Sr.Rani. At the end of this seminar we were strengthened by the spirit to persevere in our vocation.

                                                                            With love

CLARETIAN SISTERS AT CHENNAI FLOOD RELIEF


As we all know that there was a flood in Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu. Though we could not reach for immediate help yet we tried to do something for these victims of flood. So during Christmas holidays with the cooperation of the community Srs. Shanthi and Sophia went to Tamil Nadu especially to Chennai to work with the victims along with the Claretian Fathers in Tambaram. Really they were doing a wonderful job to reach out to the needy, by cleaning their soiled houses  and meeting their basic needs. It was also a very good experience for us to collaborate with the CMF of Chennai province. Fr. Tony was the coordinator, along with him other sisters from different congregations and we two. We were visiting and surveying the family situation, conducted medical camp and provided certain household items and hygienic kits for the families according to the need. Really it was a meaning experience and a great satisfaction that we could do something for these people. So we thank the fathers for accepting our invitation to work with them and my community members for making this time available.
Our observations:

  1. There is a need of the nurses who can help the people to be free from illnesses.
  2. There is a need of medicines to be distributed among the people as some have suggested and expressed their needs.
  3. The houses of the people whom we visited are wet.
  4. People live in a slushy area which can make them sick.
  5. The mud houses are wet and therefore there is a threat for the fall of the walls and they fear that they can live no-more.
  6. People were standing on the road side to get some helps from somebody which will be beneficiary for their timely living.
