Arokiamary’s Final commitment in Carmel
May 25, 2021 Tuesday, the Cloistered Carmel of Bengaluru had the reason to celebrate and rejoice in spite of the lockdown as Sr Arokiamary made her Solemn Profession in the Order of Carmel through the evangelical vows. The celebration was witnessed by limited invitees due to the covid restrictions. The Holy Mass was presided over by Rev. Fr Pius James D’Souza, Provincial Superior along with Fr. Prakash D’Cunha, Provincial Councillor and Fr Vinod Lobo, Provincial Secretary. Fr Provincial, in his homily, invited the sisters to abide in the love of Jesus as the “love of Jesus” is the only reason for a life in the Cloister. It is through our covenantal relationship that we are united to the Lord. After the homily, Sr Arokiamary pronounced her vows in the hands of Mother Prioress followed by placing the black veil and wreath on the head of Sr Arokiamary and thus the Prioress welcomed her as a permanent member of Christ the King monastery. The liturgy was animated by Fr Prakash D’Cunha and the sisters through their singing added spiritual flavor to the celebration. The K. G. Province congratulates Sr Arokiamary for her final YES to the Lord and accompanies her through fraternal and prayerful support.
