The Sisters started arriving from all over India, Sri Lanka and Kuwait from October 15 onwards. Sister Agnesita, the Programme coordinator and all other Generalate members welcomed them. Their faces beamed with joy at this opportunity given to them for the Renewal of their spirit and their lives. They were overjoyed to meet their novitiate companions and share their experiences.
Sister Agatha Mary met them personally and also took some sessions on prayer and vows before she left for Sri Lanka. . They will have an opportunity to take stock of the years gone by and of their life experiences. Stress management sessions and therapeutic yoga will revive their youthful spirit. The General Chapter theme of faith and contemplation will be emphasised through a study of St.Teresa and St.John of the Cross.
Self-knowledge is essential if we are to progress in spiritual life. Sister Vincent will be taking up Enneagram sessions in a very practical way which will enable them to grow in self awareness as a means to progress in a spirit of faith and prayer.
All of them are are in the age group of 35-45 years. So can we forget the midlife transition that they are going through? They will be given the helps needed to face these challenges and crises.
They are enjoying the serene atmosphere of the Generalate campus and a salubrious
climate of the garden city.
