“The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.”
To develop a constant feeling of gratitude and a sound consciousness of God’s favors we the community of Auxilium Carona celebrated the Gratitude Day on 13th April 2019.
The theme “I entrust them to you.”. This call extends to all of us today to sow hope and trust in the hearts of young people, especially poorest and most vulnerable. We chose this theme so as to cultivate greater sensitivity for the situations of the world, educating ourselves and others to welcome the poorest and the weakest, who ask us to see reality through their struggles, their fears, and their dreams. We as a community have made these sentiments our own and are trying to live the same.
The celebration began with a meaningful prayer service which helped us to appreciate the beauty that lies in each Sister, thank the animator and each other for the contribution in building a happy and harmonious community.
The great day dawned with well prepared Morning Prayer with the help of ppt. We thanked God for the gift of our animator Sr. Rosy Mascarenhas and each Sister, our helpers, boarders, students, teachers, and all our collaborators. The festive Eucharistic celebration was celebrated by Rev. Fr. Athaide. In his homily, he mentioned the importance of community living and the charism of our Institute. He thanked the community for the service rendered here in Carona.
The memorable day ended with a short prayer moment thanking God for all His blessings on us, for enabling us to celebrate the unity and communion on a day like this.
May God grant us a love that takes us out of and beyond ourselves so that we may truly love one another as loving Sisters.
