LET US CELEBRATE!!!

The day is very special in three ways. It is very special for the church because of the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This significant feast day recalls the spiritual and physical departure of the mother of Jesus Christ from the earth, when both her soul and her body were taken into the presence of God.

It is special for the Indians because of the 75th Independence Day, with the usual pride to mark its freedom from British rule. The Indian Independence movement began during World War I and was led by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. On August 15, 1947, India got its freedom, ending an almost 200-year British rule. It is a day of immense pride for all Indians as we commemorate the sacrifices made by millions of our freedom fighters, who had sacrificed their lives in the freedom struggle and with their unfaltering grit and patriotism, forced the British Empire to finally retreat.

At last it is very special to the family of Merciful Love because of the birthday of the second child of the family, the Sons of Merciful Love. Obedient to the voice of the Spirit, on 15 August 1951, in Rome, Mother Esperanza gave life to the Congregation of the Sons of Merciful Love and the first son of Merciful love was Fr. Alfredo De Penta.

“They will bring help and relief to many needy and afflicted families, and consolation to the sick ; in them, the orphans will find a family, the young their guides, the weak their support, and those who have fallen the strength to get up.”

The Congregation of the FAM is called to manifest the Merciful Love above all by the holiness of its life, through charitable works, of which the main one is the union with the diocesan clergy. The priests and the charitable works in favor of the poor are closely united as common objective.

A Congregation of Priests and Brothers who proclaim the Merciful Love by dedicating themselves with attention to the diocesan priests and, “united with these as brothers, they exercise with enthusiasm and only for love to our Lord, all other works of charity” (Const. FAM, art. 18).

            In every celebration there is a dream behind it. In the assumption of Mary there is a dream of God that is the salvation of mankind. In the celebration of the Independence Day there is a dream of freedom of many. And In the foundation of the family of Merciful love there is a sole dream that is to be the dispensers of Merciful Love.

 Let us celebrate the feast also the dream so that every day it may come true in our life.

Let us celebrate!!!

A new step…

Today, 15th August 2021 is a graceful day for our Religious family of Merciful Love. With the Holy Church we celebrate the Blessed Solemnity of the Assumption of of our Lady; we remembered with great joy and profound gratitude the 70th anniversary of the foundation day of the Congregation of the Sons of Merciful Love. And God who plans everything, has arranged todayv another delightful moment too for us: Meenu and Rejeena, two adolescent girls showed their willingness to continue to do the experience the Merciful Love and thus they began their postulancy with the solemn mass of this great day. There is a nuance in this event: Regeena is the first vocation we have from Tamilnadu (another state of India). Lt’s wish them a wonderful and profound experience ahead!!!
