Servants of Charity

The month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I would like to take you back to the word of Jesus, the perfect teacher, “Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart” (Mt 11,29). In parishes and at our homes we have the enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus statue to embody the same heart of Jesus in our lives as Catholics. In Jesus, God the father revealed His own heart which we firmly believe stating, “God is Love.” In the words of our founder we acclaim ‘In Omnibus Charitas’, which should be echoed in our deeds of charity to the whole of humanity. 
We find the foundation for the Heart of Jesus in the sacrament of the Eucharist which is the source and summit of Christian life (LG 11). In it we lift up our hearts unto the Lord as pinnacle of our learning from Jesus. The Eucharist is a school of love and we are educated by Jesus who keeps us alarming on the unconditional love of God which should be experienced by every individual to transmit it into the love of one’s own neighbor who needs love, care and concern. From His Sacred Heart, our hearts can possibly learn meekness, humility, mercy and love.
May I take this simple way to wish everyone who goes on vacation to experience the love of parents and siblings to return to the ministry of the Lord and the Poor with evocative nostalgic feeling of the love of God and neighbor. I congratulate all (confreres, beneficiaries) those who have succeeded in the last academic/pastoral year and wish everyone a grand success for this new academic/pastoral year 2018-2019. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus strengthen us to be persons filled with life in order to give life for the sake of others irrespective of their various differences. 
Have a Heart-istic attitude ahead.
