AMAR # 794 Celebration of the feast of MM!

At Kunegaon we celebrated the feast of mother Mazzarello in a unique way. In the morning we had a solemn Eucharist which was celebrated in Marathi by Fr. Devdas. A few people were present for the same. After Mass, those present were offered snacks. We shared a festal meal with the inmates of the rehabilitation center of Maria Ashiana at Lonavla.

Maria Ashiana is a home for young boys who are lost but have hope in their hearts that things will change for the better. They are in this rehabilitation centre to learn various skills which will be useful for them in the future. The boys were impressed with our visit to them and wished us for the feast in their own simple way. May St. Mary Mazzarello bless them and us from heaven.

On the same evening, as a community, we spent some time with our workers on this special day. A short prayer in Marathi was conducted; along with a few words of encouragement was addressed by Sr. Teresa Dharmaraj. She said, “Work and pray honestly and God who sees our action will reward us so trust in Jesus and He will be with you always.” In the end, all of them were given tea and snacks.
