CAMP FOR A DAY…

29th April 191.JPG

Camp! Camp ! Camp!

A day to CAMP for all who want to run and jump

29th April was a day of joy to be shared,

At Mazzarello Convent as 75 Oratorians glared.

By 10.30 they filled the premises,

The job of grouping was then accomplished.

They were full of fun and excitement,

So without delay we gave a start by invoking the Lord’s name.

Now it was sisters turn for enactment,

To make known, to them the life of our Mother Mazzarello and Dominic Savio.

As, they were wonder struck by this all,

They were resolute to imitate that all.

We too turned their gaze towards Mother Mary too,

Whose, month we are to begin after coming days two.

The task now was to make know her through the Four Mysteries,

As we gave each mystery to the each group to present.

Everyone did their best to present the mysteries in a creative way,

With hymns and Gospel quotations as if they were in it through.

To make the presentation more memorable,

The apparition and miracles of Our Lady of Velankanni were shown to them.

Watching this they were so full of devotion for her,

Thus inviting them to love her more fervently.

Following the Salesian mode of life we too had some games and action songs for them,

It seemed as if this accomplished their heart’s desire.

Yet there was something left which would be the best,

Honouring, our Heavenly Mother by praying the rosary.

Carrying the Mother’s Statue in procession they came,

That moment seemed like a heavenly atmosphere.

At the end of day all were filled with the knowledge about many things,

We could see it through their radiant faces.

Now they GO as missionaries of MARY,

To tell all that they had SEEN, HEARD and EXPERIENCED.
