ONE WEEK MISSION…

On seventh November we started our journey,

With the words of Jesus “Whom shall I send?”

Responding to that call “Here I am Lord”,

We offered the lighted lamps as a sign of our Yes!

 

It was a very exciting moment for us,

As the four novices came with their act.

As we met the two Major Prophets the 1^st day,

So unique was God’s call, in His own way.

Second day the next two Major Prophets,

Then the third and fourth days; brought the Minor Prophets with their Call.

Not leaving out the missionary life lived by our sisters,

Who, brought the Salesian Spirit to our Motherland.

 

With vigor we started the Tridum on the11^th,

Together with our neighboring community.

At 8pm with a prayer service we inaugurated the Tridum,

Where we once again heard Jesus inviting us “Follow Me”.

 

Offering the different colored lamps symbolizing the five Continents,

At the feet of the Lord with their symbolic meaning.

Everyone was so enchanted with the evening,

That they thought nothing but of the Call.

 

Twelfth the 2^nd day of Tridum,

At 8pm we hurried to the hall.

To see the our borders performing the Call,

Their tabloo performance gave a jerk to all.

 

Thirteenth the last day of the Tridum; at 6.30pm we gathered again,

To feel the presence of the first missionaries sisters around us.

We relived the moments and emotions of the port of Genoa,

As we entered into the occasion’s prayer moments.

Fourteenth the much awaited day since we had the dual feast to celebrate,

The introduction, missionary with a child’s heart gave the start,

Fr. Solomon the S.J. gave a lively message,

To be a missionary always at heart.

 

At 2pm we went two by two as Jesus had sent out,

To bring our Oratorians from three centers.

About 105 of us came praying rosary like the missionaries,

We made that day- a day of remembrance with the short enactment;

the scene at the Port of Genoa .

The children were delighted to see and hear all that happened,

The buns and ladoos they got gave them a lot of joy.

At 5pm all left the premises to begin a legacy,

That to others they would become the missionaries of their caliber.

 

In this way we spend the week of mission,

Reliving the past days of vision.

With all those who would listen,

To our joyous endurance in spreading God’s Kingdom.
