Wed.19th
March- Feast of St. Joseph:
Loving
St. Joseph , faithful follower of Jesus Christ, we raise our heart to your to
implore your powerful intercession in obtaining from the Divine Heart of Jesus
all the graces necessary for our spiritual and temporal welfare.
We
sisters have been preparing for this feast through good day and good night talk
and so girls become more aware of his presence in their life. Through some
incidents which we shared with them made them feel that St. Joseph can hear our
prayer at any moment.
Since Bishop Kike has invited our girls
to come for annual feast of St. Joseph in Tahen, and so this evening Sr. Lakana
and our high school girls (40) went to Tahen to take part in the procession and
thereafter for Holy Mass. There were many people to come to take part in
it. The procession was well done with
atmosphere of prayer, followed by Holy Mass which was celebrated by Bishop Kike
and other priests. He in his homily spoke about the life of St. Joseph and his
faithfulness to God. After mass the snack was distributed to all the people.
Feast
of St. Joseph – Animated Rosary in the house: Since high
school girls had gone to Tahen for mass we as community has decided that our
sewing girls can have animated rosary here in order to pray and ask graces from
him. And so our girls were very happy to clean the statue of St. Joseph and to
decorate it beautiful. Many girls by themselves prepared garlands and flowers
for St Joseph. Since all the catholic girls had gone to Tahen for mass, it was nice to see our non catholic each
girl wants to show her love to him. Sr. Blanchi with the help of them animated
the Rosary. We had procession from our main door to Statue of St. Joseph with
flowers, burning candles and bible was carried during the procession, and
placed it front of the Statue. Prayers were prepared for various intentions.
With silent of heart our girls prayed rosary and ask many blessing from him. Some
of them prayed spontaneously for various needs and intentions. It was nice evening
spent with St. Joseph. Long live St.
Joseph.
