For the love of Mary

    “Woman behold your son, son behold your mother.”

Inauguration of the Marian Month by Sr.Salome D'souza

At the foot of the cross, Mother Mary was given to be our mother. Our founder       St .John Bosco is one such individual, who had the joy and privilege of having Mother Mary as his teacher and guide, especially given to Him by Jesus at the age of nine in a dream. Don Bosco loved our lady all through his life, tried to spread the devotion among people and his boy’s in the oratory by keeping up all Marian Feasts and Marian Month.On 18^th July we sisters and Novices of Sacred Heart Training Centre began our Marian Month with fervor and joy to express our love for our Blessed Mother during this Marian Month. Ours is an institute that belongs entirely to Mary and each one of us are called to be living monuments of Mary Help Of Christians .We began by lighting of the lamp by SR.SALOME D’SOUZA as a sign of our pledge and willingness to enter into the spirit of this month, a salesian tradition the dedicates the entire month in honour of our Blessed Mother.We the community of SHTC desire to walk in the footsteps of our Blessed Mother thus making her qualities and dispositions our own. We pray that this month be a month full of enthusiasm, fervor and love for our heavenly mother and may she never tire of turning her merciful eyes upon us and make us worthy to contemplate the face of mercy of her son Jesus.

Mary, Beacon of Hope and Joy

Marian Nite is the culmination of the Marian Month, but for us Mary still continues to be a beacon of hope and joy. We were indeed happy to spend a month with Mary, bringing joy and witnessing Christ to others. Our Marian month was solemnly concluded with a Marian night. It was well animated with games and a quiz. All these gave us valuable messages. We were thrilled to have the Sisters of Maria Vihar, whose company we enjoyed.Mary is a model for youth. We are called to draw many young souls to the loving embrace of Mary who are faced with the challenges of life. As we conclude our Marian Month, we desire to be like Mary, beacons of hope and joy to all those whom we encounter in our daily living.
