“You have kept count of my
tossings;
put my tears in my bottle.
Are they not recorded in your record?”
(Psalm: 56-8)

Beyond impoverishment it was opprolorium that made to shed tears off me. My father’s abnormal acts in public due to insanity offered my family a great woe. This made my childhood a lacrymated one. I was the youngest one in the family, with two elder sisters.
My aunt Mrs.Margret introduced me into prayer group-Soldiers of Christ, while I was in high school. The group was led by Br.Johnson. I started going there often. At first it was a lurking place for me from my cluttering family, but gradually it becomes an obligation for me to attend the prayer. But due to many reasons I had to eschew from the group for about three year. That was a testing period for us as we suffered a lot because of our father’s low acts in the house and in thepublic.
After about three years I was reunited with the prayer group again. The larking place became an asylum for me. The group was full of enthusiastic young men. We danced out of heavenly peace and praised our sins. I heard the voice of Jesus when I went deep into my mind. He started to speak to me in loneliness: but after sometimes I was able to hear him even when I was in groups, while talking lord with our full strength. Holy spirit showered his gifts on us. He prepared us to repent of to my friends. He started teaching me the heavenly truths. I became aware of the importance of holy mass. Jesus was with me during my exams (curricular). He helped a lot there I secured a first class in the degree exams.
Very soon my mother and my sisters were attracted by Jesus; and they also started coming for the prayer. Likewise all families of our team were united. At that time we started a prayer meeting in the houses of the team members. Our family got ready for our turn. It was all the plan of the lord; that he astonished me when the prayer was held in my house. My elder sister and myself viewed a same vision; that the heaven coming down and touching our home.
After when I got my Jesus by my side, I was never worried about the poverty and miseries of my family. I was never concerned about the opprobrium’s. But Jesus was…………… He was concerned of his son….. He was concerned of his son’s nubile sister. Without even a word of request from me, he started to carve, my family. Without having single paise in hand, my sister’s marriage was arranged. Jesus encorporated everything for the marriage.
“Strive first for the kingdom of god and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Mt 6:33).
Mother Mary was always by my side. She helped me to pass the Postgraduate exams. She wants me to be a good teacher as her son was. So I joined for the B.Ed course. To the end of my life I like to be in the hands of Mary, the Adytum where the Holy trinity is united.
