The Tabor Experience at the Mizpah Centre, Attapadi (Kerala)
“Praise the Lord from the heavens, Praise Him in the heights” (Psalm 148:1) is our joyful cry (the 26 Temporary Professed Sisters) for all the good and marvelous things the Lord have done in our lives.
Often we have heard the phrase, “Being Basked in the Ocean of God’s Love”. And this is what we experienced during the 30 days of the Retreat cum Seminar from 25th April to 25th May, 2019 at Attapadi ( Kerala)- a unique centre for spiritual awakening and renewal.The whole programme was focused on making us experience the unconditional love, compassion, mercy and forgiveness of God.
The one month programme included learning to preach the Word of God, classes on Prayer Life, Vows and Evangelization. This was sandwiched with an inner healing retreat from which everyone profited the maximum. We now enjoy the inner joy and freedom of the children of God. We are convinced and confirmed that God has specially chosen us and that He has a special planfor each one of us.We feel the need to tame ourtongues, to avoid unnecessary conversations and instead to engage ourselves in praying the holy Rosary, Mercy chaplets, invoking shortprayers and contemplating on the Word of God.We realize the need for fasting and prayer in our journey of life. The more we renounce ourselves and be humble and obedient, the more we walk by the Holy Spirit.
“In those days Mary set out and went with haste to the Judean town in the hill country” (Lk: 1: 39) Imbibing the spirit of Mother Mary, we are also determined to live and spread the Word of God with courage, conviction and commitment - first of all in the Community as well as in our places of work with whomever we come into contact. We hope and pray that this new found joy and passion for Christ will linger in our lives making a great difference in our personal and Community life.
We express our gratitude to Sr. Vianney for giving us this exposure of one month which in turn helped us to renew our spiritual life and to live our vowed life more radically.
