Fragrance of your love remains with me always.

Fragrance of your love remains with me always.

Yes, this is time to say bye to Vasai. I have been here in Vasai last two and half years. First, I was in Mulgaon St. Mary Magdalene church as deacon. And then after my ordination I was in Kholapur for learning Marati. Then I came to Bhuigaon as assistant in the parish and practicing Marathi. It was a good time. A different experience altogether in my life. Because the people are very good and generous and loving. They loved me as their own. Then I came to the community in Berampur / Stella. Here was a life changing experience with the people of the locality. We were living in a flat and there were many people from Kerala who work there. I was visiting all these families. Moreover, I had great and deep relations with the families. They used to invite us for food and any function in their families. In addition, they were just like one of us in the community. Coming to our house any time and visiting us and talking with us and phoning and it was a very lively experience. Now after two and half years the superiors have decided to call us back to other missions. So on 13th of June 2010 we decided to celebrate the feast of Sacred Heart in our community and say good bye to Vasai. So it was a grand celebration on the eve of Sunday and then meal and celebration in the community. People were too much emotional that they wanted to be with us, that some people were there till 12 or even late night. And unforgettable experience of love and care from the people of God. What to say now?????????????? Only one word that’s thanks you to God- Jesus and to all the people of Vasai to were just one of us. Thank you and thank you and just word of thanks.

I got new appointment to go to South Africa and soon I will leave. The process of visa is on the way and let us sees when I will leave India.
