Third
Day – Called to be an effective Missionary
The Morning Prayer and liturgy was led by Sisters
of the Western Province. The Celebration
of the Eucharist by Fr. Francis Serrao S.J was very meaningful.
The morning two sessions were taken up Fr. Francis
Serrao on “Mission Today: Understanding the Mission of the Church in the Indian
Context and being Effective Missionaries”. He instilled a spark of fire within
us to go and spread the good news of Jesus.
This was followed by Panel Discussion moderated by
Sister Jennifer D’Silva. Six sisters one from each Province spoke on different
aspects of Mission. i.e. Charism and Mission, Consecrated for Mission,
Formation for Mission, Community and Mission, Leadership in Mission, and
Witnessing in Mission. The sharing enriched every sister who listened to them.
Afternoon session was taken up by Mr. George
Devassy on “Evangelization of Youth”. To deal with the youth of today we have
to know them, love them and walk with them and finally the last session on “Evangelization
and Social Apostolate" was given by Sister Sujita SND. The day came to a close with a fantastic Laser
Show on Mother Veronica.
