My Voyage to the hearts of People of God

 A dialogue with the realities which I had found during my pastoral ministry atThirumukulam Parish

It is great to understand what is the real essence of our vocation in terms of what we supposed to do with it. My home mission experience is quite amazing by unfolding the mysterical essence of my being as a religious. There are people who are in need of you, for your patient listening, for your intercession before God. When I understood the need of pastoral care, I think that we religious should have some experience like this to enrich our vocation in a refined manner. Thrirumikulam Parish is not well in economic scale, but the people are highly edified to trust in God and to live their lives with all its challenges. It is mandate to feel the pulse of sheep in order to shepherd them as JESUS did. Along with Pope Francis, I wish to be a shepherd of being the smell of my sheep.

 Even though the notion about pastoral ministry is more attached with men wing, the feminine aspect of this experices have been more experientialvalue as a spiritual mother, sister, and a daughter for them.

What I realize is, when the moment we step into the hearts of people, that moment itself is a christopheny-we could understand how Jesus Christ is living in the Mystical body of Christ- that is Church. The bipolar bond between the people of God and a religious is strong when we really live our vocation in church. Mind of a religious should be in the threshold of being the presence of God to every one we meet. The transcending of our human being into enlighten  being will help us to maintain the real rhythm of cosmic order. I think , that is our primary duty as a religious to  harmonize the cosmic order by the power of divine presence of God .

I wish to compare this to a new Christopheny where the suffering christ is  manifested in different  faces of lives.

Reach out to people is always a platform to understand realities of life and our vocation. It will help a religious to find new paths of her/ his being. Meaningful existence of your vocation is a task to deconstruct the centers of our life form self to God, by liberating ourselves from boundaries of spiritual ideologies to unbounding mercy of God.
