Recollection Day on the Eucharist

The ninth standard Christian Students of Our LAdy of Remedy School, Poinsur Kandivli, Mumbai were very cooperative and in participating fully in the programme presented to them during the Recollection Sessions I had prepared for them.
It was on Thursday, 13 July, from 9 to 1 p.m. So from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., that, with the help of various audio-visual aids, times of silence and reflection on Scripture passages like , the multiplication of the bread, and the ‘Oil in the Wise Virgins’ Flasks’, and the Last Supper, the Spirit led them to a deeper understanding of the Eucharist, and the benefits of participating in it fully.
There were about 60 students, about 35 girls and 25 boys. The Principal of the school, Fr Raymond, offered us a warm welcome a few days before, since he could not be there on the day. In fact, the staff was very cooperative, even though they had to hire the LCD projector, make Xeroxes etc, as part of the requirements of the Recollection Sessions. It was also an opportunity for me to do vocation work. Thanks to my community sisters who supported me with prayers.
