Final Profession 

29 June 2020

You have  called me, Here I am Lord

June  29th  2020 is an exrtra  ordinary  day  for our  Holy Family  Province  as  five of our sisters   Sr. Nlmani  Bara  Sr. Tara Bara,  Sr. Asha Rajni  Kullu, Sr.  Veronica Tirkey and Sr.  Prasanthi  Pilli pronounced  their  perpetual YES to  God  which means they are resolved  to commit themselves radically to  Christ  for life  by living the  Evangelical  Councils  of poverty, chastity  and  obedience.    They have abandoned  themselves  in the hands of  their  spouse after having lived with Him six to seven years and experienced  His love and concern.

            With the effect of  the  corona pandemic this  celebration has lost its  arranged  dates  and  shapes  and   the  Lord  wants it in His own way  and the  date was decided  according to  His  will that  the day dedicated  for  two of  His beloved  disciples, St. Peter and St. Paul, the pillars of  His  Church.  And  it  also  has its impact on them as two  of them  Sr. Tara and  Sr. Asha Rajni  had  their perpetual profession ceremonies done  at  Tellakom in  Kerala and other three,  Sr. Nilmani, Sr. Veronica and  Sr. Prasanthi  in Vjayawada Andhra Pradesh. As the  very step  to the  Congregation  was  a test for them  to practice  the  words of   Our  Founder, Venerable  Fr. Gregory, that  no one has   the right  to ask why in this way and  not otherwise. They  bow their  head  to their  Spouse and proved that  their words  are firm and their  steps  are  steady.

            The celebration was  very  simple but  enriching  and  very calm  following  thoroughly  the guidelines  of  lockdown. “If you have decided to serve  God, prepare yourself  for trials. Keep your heart  upright and remain   resolute. Do not be upset in the  time of  adversity. Hold fast to the  Lord and do not separate yourself from Him…….”Quoting the words from the book of Sirach, the main celebrant advised them to  face everything holding the helping hands  with  trust  and  faith.

             The meaningful  offertory items  once  again reminded of them  of the  Charism of the  congregation that they are to proclaim the  mystery of  Jesus  Christ  Crucified, from  His pierced   Heart  draw  a redemptive love, profound benevolence  and apostolic  zeal for  all humanity, become a helping hand and  a guiding lamp to all  our brothers and sisters in need  of your healing touch and consoling presence, particularly the afflicted, the grieved, the indigent, the tortured , the diseased, the distressed and the destitute. The melodious singing and the  soft  music  give beauty to the celebration  and elevated  everyone.

            The celebration came to its conclusion with the felicitation of  the newly professed  and  a delicious  meal.  At the close of the day  we  once  again        raised our hearts   and joined our hands   in thanksgiving    for  all the benefits received  from His bounty.
