It is in the Lord we find our way to journey,

It is in the Lord we gain our hope for better future,

It is in the Lord we gain our strength to live our life of love and service.

With these words of our saintly Mother Mazzarello eleven of us 7 from INM and 4 from INC entered into one month of intensive and immediate preparation for our final vows in Mornese-Yercaud, from 15th November to 15th December 2013.

We joined together in this precious period of prayer and reflection, reviewing our life in the light of the Holy Spirit and to prepare ourselves better to give a definitive response of fidelity to God in the institute to be united with the Lord more intimately, preparing for our final profession.

Sr. Kulandaisamy Lourdumary fma was the facilitator this one month programme. There were 11 different topics taken by different resource persons from Chennai, like, cost of discipleship, psycho-sexual spiritual integration, and person of Jesus portrayed in the Gospel of Luke, Mary in the design of God, in the Church, in the institute and in the life of every FMA etc. The classes were conducted in a very creative and dynamic way which helped us to live in a deeper manner the following Christ. Togetherness helped us to view our abilities, enriching every one by sharing, caring and loving, experiencing God's love immensely. We are grateful to Sr. Magnificat Soosai fma, the Provincial of INM and our provincial Sr. Maria Pettayil fma for giving us this opportunity to renew and commit ourselves totally for the Kingdom of God, evangelizing oneself and to evangelize others around us. We also thank all those who helped us in our life's journey through their sacrifices and prayers in order to make our life worthy of Jesus our Master.
