Day 5: 31.12.2021
Today is the last day of the year -2021 and all of us had much to be grateful to God for. We sat in the presence of the Eucharistic Lord, adoring and thanking God for His abundant mercies and blessings throughout the year 2021. We prayed the Lauds at 6.30a.m followed by Holy Mass celebrated by Fr. M. Arogayam, Parish Priest, St. Anthony's Church,Venkatapuram. Father, in his homily spoke on Mission and the ways we need to carry out. He spoke about Evangelization, and inventing new methods to proclaim God's word, searching new ways of carrying out our educative apostolate with great dedication and glorifying God and serving the little ones and the poor. Whenever we reach higher positions and status we need to remind ourselves, the virtue of humility practiced by Mother Enrichetta. we must never compromise our prayer life however busy we are. we should desire to dwell in the presence of God. We must become co-partners with Christ in carrying out the mission entrusted to us as Jesus carried out the mission of the Father as Priest, Prophet and King he said by quoting St. Paul (1 Peter 2:9-10) and we need to do the same. we should not fear when obstacles we face in this world but go with the strength and power of the Spirit. Our services may be a drop in the ocean. if these drops are not there then the ocean will miss these drops. The Artist's final stroke makes His painting famous so also our little services will helps us to achieve mission of Christ and elevate us to greatness.
The first session started at 9.00a.m with a short prayer and the General assembly took the work to discuss and finalize the work on 6th Priority.
