The day dawned bright and beautiful.
The air was filled with melodious music, ushering in the feast day of
our dear Superior General, Sister Agatha Mary.
The liturgists of the day were Sisters Carissima and Julie Ann. It was a
joyous and meaningful liturgy. During
the morning prayer, Sister Agatha Mary carried the burning incense to the altar
as a symbol of her Contemplative prayer which sustains her through all the vicissitudes
of her life
After
Mass, the sisters, both of Lourdes community and the delegates, greeted Sister
Agatha Mary with our traditional festal song, bouquet of flowers and
gifts. It was an occasion for all the AC
sisters of the campus to come together and celebrate the festal day and all
were there in Saranya refectory for breakfast.
Fr. Francis Serrao
S.J the Provincial of Karnataka started his talks at 9.a.m. He expounded the
Chapter theme in such a way that we become aware of the need for delving into
its deeper meaning and find therein all the required direction for our journey
forward. He gave us also time for discussion and reflection so that we could
interiorize the many issues and concerns he had spoken about. He was with us almost till 6.p.m.
Today five formators, Sisters Gladys Mary,
Marcella, Pritha, Nikitha and Daisy joined us as participants. They will be with us for next three days.
Festal
Recreation with Sister Agatha Mary
Inspite of
a heavy day of Chapter Sessions, we had a hearty recreation in honour of Sister
Agatha Mary. The photographs will show
you how we the delegates entertained Sister Agatha Mary with songs, dance and
skit. The finale of the programme was by Lourdes community. They enacted the last days of Saint Agatha
and her martyrdom. It was a very
inspiring and touching scene. Sister Agatha Mary thanked the sisters for making
the day a memorable one for her.
