BYE...BYE 2015 AND WELCOME 2016

DEAR GOD
I DON'T KNOW ALL OF THE CHALLENGES MY FRIENDS HAVE, BUT YOU KNOW EVERYTHING. I HEAR THEIR SILENCE, YOU HEAR THEIR PRAYERS. I SEE THEIR LAUGHTER, YOU SEE THEIR TEARS. I SEE WHEN THEY GIVE, YOU SEE WHAT'S BEEN TAKEN FROM THEM. I SEE THEIR BEAUTIFUL APPEARANCE, YOU SEE THE SCARS IN THEIR SOUL. I EXPERIENCE THEIR FAITH, YOU KNOW THEIR DOUBTS. MY PRAYER FOR THEM, GOD, IS THAT YOU HEAR EVERY SINGLE PRAYER AND MEET THEM IN THEIR NEEDS.

IN YOUR NAME I PRAY, AMEN.


A VERY BLESSED HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.................................

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.

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.
