A DAY WITH THE LORD


 The Italian Delegation Pilgrimage on 10th March 2016

On the sunny day of March 10th in a cool-chilly weather  the Missionary Sisters of Mary Help of Christians of St. Teresa  of the Child Jesus Italian Delegation,  observed a day of prayerful- march, to  the  Holy Door of Turin Cathedral,  where Holy Shroud is conserved.  Our Pilgrimage began with Holy Mass at 9:30 in the sisters’ chapel at Crocetta Turin  celebrated by Don Testa the Rector of Theological Seminary of Turin.


During the mass,  special prayer was offered for the  departed souls of the mother of Sr. Marta, Sr. Lucy Augustine and Sr. Rani Annem.  During homily Don Testa heighted the compassion of God against our human waywardness,  in  keeping  with the theme of the Jubilee year of Mercy.

Right  after the mass we proceeded to the Sanctuary of our Lady of Consolata, there we had the opportunity of making  good confessions  and spent quality time before the Blessed Sacrament. From the Sanctuary of our Lady of Consolata we marched towards the  Cathedral to pass the Holy Door and to receive holy indulgence. Here we spent time praying for various intentions before the Blessed Sacrament and before the Holy Shroud. Then  at 12:30, we had lunch in the restaurant celebrating our fellowship . After we departed to own  respective places.
