“You have loved me and made me lovable.”
Yes these were the sentiments in our hearts as we began our celebration of the feast of Sacred Heart of Jesus.

| Community gathered together for morning prayer |
We began our preparation with the fervent novena on 25th May reflecting on the different virtues needed to live fruitful community life, such as Prayerful community, Listening community, Loving community, Forgiving community, Joyful community, United community, Dynamic community, Apostolic community and Missionary community with much reflection during our prayer moments.Filled with enthusiasm we began our celebration with vigil service which helped us experience his love and also helped us understand his plans though his message.
We as a community are happy to begin this new scholastic year with this feast.

| Gathered together for the Holy Eucharist |
At the dawn of 3rd June we woke up with a music followed by well animated morning prayer. At 7.00 am we had a solemn Eucharistic celebration together with all our neighboring religious communities celebrated by Fr. Chris Saldhana SDB and other five con-celebrants. Fr.Chris Saladhana very well brought out the importance of the “ Love of God” during His homily saying, there are many titles given to Jesus in the new testament but most important is the one which Jesus himself gives that is “I am the good Shepherd” He takes care of us as though I was the only one to take care, and loves us as though I was the only one to love. God is supreme. God cannot go above Him because there is nothing beyond Him He can only come down, this is the virtue of Humility a virtue of God. We were enriched by the inspiring thoughts delivered to us by Fr. Chris Saldhana

| Wishing one all a Happy Feast in the refectory |
Soon after the Eucharistic celebration we all gathered together for the breakfast in the refectory followed by the festal song by the novices wishing each one a Happy Feast. In the evening the novices put up a short programme based on God’s love and mercy with the theme – JESUS STILL LOVES YOU…reaching even to the least in the society be it prostitute or murderer. We were grateful to God for His blessings and miracles. We ended our day of celebration with a good thought by our Novice Formator
Sr. Salome D’souza where she helped us know the power of God’s love more clearly.
