This is the Day that the Lord has made....

The Friars, religious, priests and Lay people are already singing songs of praise and thanks to the Lord for 25 years of Capuchin service and mission. The celebration is about to begin at 10am and the guests are already arriving from near and far. The celebration is expected to last for about four hours depending on the how the liturgists proceed. There is happy climate and joy in the air. The Capuchins are simply blushing with joy and satisfaction. Each one seems to be saying thank you Lord! Thank you Capuchins of Karnataka!
Yesterday, afternoon we went round for sightseeing in the city. We also paid a visit to an Indian saloon for a haircut. The barber reminded us of the robbers on the road who snatch chains, mobiles and watches. At the traffic signal we we were waiting for the traffic to get cleared a strong and hefty man snatches my chain from the neck strongly. I caught his hands and as a result he left the chain but another guy was on the driver side who put his hand and pulled the gold chain. They could not succeed as we proved stronger than them. what was surprising was that it happened in a broad day light in full public view and yet no one came to our rescue. But a horrific and frightful experience. Nothing happened to us but it shook us a little bit! Praise the Lord and Thank God, Padre Pio and Divine mercy who came to our aid.
We visited the first Missionaries who landed in Uganda on the bank of lake victoria.
