A FAITHFUL YES FOREVER

                        It’s a time of thanksgiving and a time of celebration  as six of our sisters have made their final commitment. May this firm final Yes enable them to be faithful and dedicated disciples of Christ. We wish all of them Good Luck and God's blessings as they take up new responsibilities in the Congregation of the Carmelite Missionaries.

Joyful wishes on the Feast day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

In the year dedicated to consecrated life and the celebration of the Fifth Birth Centenery of St. Teresa of Avila we are invited to look at Mary as a true model of our consecrated life. May she confirm us in our Carmelite vocation as each day we continue to live with zeal our mystic and prophetic vocation in the Church.

I HEARD MY PEOPLE CRY

The life of the people of Nepal worsened due powerful earthquakes which hit some parts of the country. The poor were affected the most. Many lost their near and dear ones and their belongings, some were left handicapped for life without hands and legs. Many people were traumatized by this incident. Volunteers came from all over India, also different countries like China, Korea and USA to lend a helping hand. CHAI (Secunderabad) had organized medical camps and sent volunteers to reach out to the victims. With the help of Jesuit fathers, myself a Carmelite Missionary and other Congregations like the Daughters’ of the cross and St. Anne’s' of Charity rendered our service. We were mostly sent to remote and lonely areas, with bad roads and huge mountains where government help had not reached. We helped the people by giving medical care as well as the psychological support. We went to different districts each day with food kits and medicines to help the people. I had challenging experience and am grateful to my congregation for giving me this opportunity of helping my people.
