Her dramatic appearance during the morning prayer in the person of Sr. Sumitra Ekka, carrying the same light which she had lit in that far off country, South America and passed on to  each one of us. This was inspiring us to be missionaries of His Word and His love. Her presence among us, enthused in us, the light of the Gospel, the light that represents Christ Himself, that enlightened by His word; we may carry on, His light to all the people around us.   Mother Angela Vallese was a woman filled with:- 

The light of love                     – with the oil of others centeredness

The light of peace                 – with the oil of forgiveness

The light of joy                      – with the oil of total self-giving

The light of hope                  – with the oil of confidence and trust

The light of liberation           – with the oil of abandonment

The light of faith                    – with the oil of God’s power

The light of charity                – with the oil of sacrifice

This was the secret of the success of her mission which flourished and bore fruit and continues to bear, abundant fruits for the Lord. This is the style; the community of Novitiate would like to carry on, in and through our lives with the passion of Da Mihi Animas and making our own hearts and our community a home that evangelises.
