VOTE OF THANKS
“Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul”
Every celebration is an experience, the external fades away, and the internal lingers
and echoes in the most depth of our hearts. We are reminded that jubilees are milestones
on the journey of life and reminders of God’s fidelity all through.
Today our hearts are filled with Gratitude and joy that over flows within us as we recall
the path, Sr. Glory have travelled, in these 25 years in our Institute. We thank the Almighty
for accompanying her in marvelous ways, all through these years and keeping her safe,
healthy and productive in His vineyard. She experienced the hand of God in joys sorrows,
in good time and in had times. She has served the Lord in the best way possible keeping
the charism of the Institute. She by her very life tried to spread the fragrants of God’s
Love, Compassion, Mercy, Joy and healing to people in India, Italy and here in Nazareth
too. Thank you dear Sr. Glory for your committed life, committed service, above all your
fidelity to your God who called you by name.
