MISSION EXPERIMENTS

‘Mission Experiment  is a particle of  Month Retreat .’  A year before we had immensely encountered Christ in our Month Retreat. This year 13 of the second year Novices were sent to different Mission stations to encounter this same Christ in the verities of ‘Real Life’ - in the poor, marginalized, afflicted, abandoned, neglected etc., written below is just a smidgen of these experiences.

 The ubiquitous warped path, the vandalized selves, social and political upheavals which has upended the lives of these people usually makes anyone vamoose from the situation. But in this we found ‘The Risen Lord still carrying his cross’. In this shambolic tragedy, we encountered the Christ still yearning to be Risen! We were amazed by the valor of these simpletons to face these hardcore challenges of their lives head-on. We returned to our abode with the hope that Jesus will rise up someday in their lives!
