Theme: Mary reconciles, recreates, celebrates
The late Cardinal Jaime Sin said: “A mother always unites.” Mary, true to her role, reconciles us to God and to one another. There are many apparitions that attest to this. For instance, the shrine of the Virgin of Lourdes in France has been known to be a pilgrimage site for many people who are searching for healing not only of sick bodies but even more, sick souls.
Nowadays, people come from broken relationship in varying degrees and stages of their lives. All seek for reconciliation. Certainly this most gentle mother will not delay her intercession with God for the relationship to be patched up or for someone who goes astray to be back in God’s fold.
For us Carmelite Missionaries, who are witnesses of communion, we look up to Mary and her witness to be reconciled in our relationship with our Beloved through fostering our relationship with each other. All along the reconciliation, we recreate our relationship into something better.
With Mary, we are enabled to be what we are meant to be: a community of love. Thus there is a reason for us to celebrate like Mary and with Mary. Let us proclaim the greatness of our Lord and rejoice with all our heart in God’s saving mercy and the wonders He has done in our life.
Liturgist: Sr. Olivia Uy, C.M.

Actually, this is not a comment. I was searching for the name of my long lost friend Becky Polinar and fortunately dito ko lang pala siya matagpuan. I am so happy for her being a member of the Carmelites Missionaries. I do hope you can convey this message to Sr. Becky.
My name is Loy Varias and am presently based in Kuwait. Becky is my townmate and was the classmate of my brod Camilo who is now permanently residing in Worcester, England.
My email address is loyvarias@yahoo.com or info@beidoun.com.
Thanks for your help and kind assistance.
