Mourline Fernando SJ shared his reflection on his experiential point of view about the Salesian sisters. He referred two Biblical Hebrew words,which are very appropriate in the context of the life and mission of the Salesian sisters. First of all the Salesian sisters are the ‘Shekinah’ which means the ‘Dwelling place of God’: who continually accompanying each other in the community and also in the mission. God’s dwelling is felt by people who come in contact with them. They are the mirror image of Our Lady. The second word referred was, ‘Goel’ which means ‘to redeem’ –‘redeemer’- a person who as the nearest relative of another is charged with the duty of restoring the rights of another and avenging his wrongs. In order to practice these two terms what requires is ‘P5’ Promise of hope, patience, praise, provision and promotion. He explained each term in the context of the recipients who are really taken care off, accompanied and promoted in life and given a future.

After the solemn Eucharistic celebration the get together for cultural evening, was exciting and enjoyable one.

The coordinators representing the two Houses, Ms Ushas and Ms Greeshma also gave an inspiring message on this day stating that, St. Don Bosco was a man of his words and his actions. He is the best role model for all of us even in today’s times. We have to imbibe the calm and composed nature of Don Bosco in the darkest hours. Laura’s sacrifice is beyond the understanding of our times, as sacrificing one’s own life is the supreme form of love. As Auxilians, we need to stand up against the wrong, unjust and temptations of life.
