Retreats and Classes on Franciscan Spirituality ...Get over!!!! Adoration Cloistered Sisters in Kerala

For last 35 days I went to four Adoration Monasteries preaching and giving classes on the theme of Franciscan Spirituality and Charism....it was hectic but a very spiritual experience.....for the first time I was preaching to the cloistered sisters.....their witness to Franciscan life and spirituality is worthy imitating and propagating,,,,,they have less and less vocations but the life lived inside is solid and very much Franciscan...My classes and talks just helped them to fortify their convictions and belongingness to the Franciscan spirituality and charism. Pray for them and they need our spiritual and material support too.....they need vocations ....please spread the word around....

 Bitter medicine we just sallow without any complaints and hesitation because we know that it is going to heal us and give us good health........we sallow it very fast but the sweet chocolates we normally eat them slow and enjoy to the last bit....we just go on and on.....I think it is true of our life...bad experiences and memories we need to forget as early as possible and good memories and experiences must be enjoying with our whole heart and soul..

 We may be far from each other....distances may be too big and yet we remember each other...especially those who have good nature, behavior and character....they are remembered and talked about practically by all....their examples are given to the younger ones....so earn the character so that we may be remembered by all....Character is the precious wealth that we earn in human life.

 Forget what good you do to others....dont wait for the rewards from those to whom you have been benevolent,,,,,don't work for rewards but just keep giving and you realize that you have always more to give....

 If someone criticizes or speaks evil about you ....from the deepest and sincere heart forgive those people for they know not what they are doing

 Our belief and faith in God should never shake at any moment of crisis and suffering....it should be like a solid rock...this will also depend how much we trust and believe in ourselves....

 Life and death are truths of life...every one has to face the reality of death....when we accept life we must also accept death which is a door to eternal life.....real home is in Heaven with the God the Father...

 There are 24 Adoration sisters in Kollam, Kerala....some of them are young and others are advancing in age.....a lot of people come to their chapel to pray and also to request for their prayers...

 Please promote vocations for these sisters....if anyone wishing to join the cloistered sisters of adoration.....direct them to 12 monasteries in India.....they are in Karnataka, Gujarat, Kerala, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh....even in Bangladesh.....
