Jesus loved the house of Bethany. He was the Joy of this family. The Bethany Lay Associates of Rosa Mystica Community who experience this Joy in their personal and family life, celebrated their day on 29 July 2017. The day was marked by the Holy Eucharist celebrated by Fr Maxim D Souza, Professor, St Joseph Seminary, Jeppu. In his homily he invited the faithful to build human relationships. He appreciated the BLA members and wished them well. They organized meaningful cultural evening by enacting the Bethany scene by exchanging the role of Martha and Mary conveying the message that each one’s role in this world is important. They conducted a few games to entertain the audience. Sr Juliana Monis, Superior, Rosa Mystica Community, the sisters and the novices greeted them with flowers and songs. This day also was observed as the day of Domestic staff. They also were honored during the programme as token of love and gratitude for their generous service and the sacrifice. Sr Juliana Monis, in her address congratulated the BLA members for their faithfulness and their contribution in our mission. She invited everyone present to give our quality time to God and to serve the people in compassion. At the end all took part in the fellowship meal.
