I am writing from Madrid where I am waiting for my visa to go to my mission land, Angola. During this wait, I was inspired to create paintings with threads.

Patience is reflected in my personal experience through
The belief that the Bible is the Word of God is a central theme of the Christian faith. It is important to emphasize that the interpretation of the Bible as the Word of God presents different nuances and approaches according to the various Christian traditions.

I was excited when I first heard that I was getting transferred to Jharkhand. And yet at the same time, I was a bit scared and fearful about the new place because it was going to be a totally new experience.

Saint Rose’s unwavering faith and humble spirit serve as an inspiring light and guide to deepen our relationship with God and to selflessly serve others.

Many months ago, I had been reading series of documents about the 800 centenaries of St Dominic de Guzman. It was like a reminisce and a living-it-out today invitation to what was the very example St Dominic lived in his time.
