Our Heartfelt Condolences to Sister Marita and Family
Marita's younger brother ( Known to many as Macoy ) was murdered few days ago . Let us join the bereaved family these days with our prayers. May the Lord grant him everlasting life.
Secretary Orientation
March 18, 19, 20, Takatsuki, Japan. The three incoming secretaries ;Teresita Noi , Bernadetta Ikeda and Micaela Tsuji ,for the new assignment beginning April until 2014, with Everdina , gathered on those days to review together the Local Secretary manual . It was something new , it was great to be together , shared stories , laughed, listen and reflect and wonder about Secretary work.
" In its making we have taken
into account in a special way the pastoral mission of the secretary which is
the most important part of her ministry.
“The secretary on accepting her responsibility, enters into the river
of the life of her own Institute to know
it, love it and make it grow. She could accept as said for her the words of Yahweh
to Moses: ‘Take off your sandals because
you are on holy ground’. We touch with our hands the life of each one of our
sisters and communities”.[1]
( From the local Secretary Manual p. 7 )
Congratulations !

The End of the Canonical visit

| Guimaras community, Philippines |
We thank the Lord for having blessed our Mother Provincial Teresa Hashimoto with good health all throughout her journey and as well the protection in all her long trips . Our special thanks to sister Inocencia, for lovingly stretching her strength to do the translations for many of our communities during the visit of Madre in the speaking communities. May her admonition addressed to the communities be remembered and put in practice. She has started her visitation in the communities since November 2011 and ended in March.

Maria Inmaculada Yoochien, Japan
Takatsuki, Japan. Last March 15, 2012, was the graduation day of 76, kindegarten pupils ( ages 6 years old ) of our Maria Inmaculada Yoochien. The event was held in the morning at the 2nd floor of their social hall, with a very simple but heart warming and moving ceremony. Parents came with their formal attire and some mothers put on their beautiful cultural attire - the Kimono .

Teresita Albarracin Feast
TESTIMONY:
Un día me encontré un folleto
de María Teresita Albaracín en un cuarto trastero de la Iglesia. Me sentí atraida
por su sonrisa y lo llevé a mi casa. Me parecía que Dios me estaba invitando
rezar… puse el folleto en un plástico y desde entonces estoy rezando todos los
días. Todas las palabras del folleto dicen algo a mi corazón y me dan fuerza y
ánimo. Lo leí y releí muchas
veces y pensaba: Qué estupendo si yo pudiera rezar como ella! Hasta ahora
solo me venía al pensamiento el escapar de los sufrimimientos. Pero ahora, sobre
todo cuando estoy deprimida, su sonrisa me hace mucho bien. Estoy segura que
este folleto, será para mi un tesoro durante toda mi vida. He escrito esta
carta para comunicar esta gracia

マリア テレシタ アルバラシンの笑顔をみつめ、いやされる私は幸せです。元気が出ない時、励みになります。また尊敬もできます。
純粋なお心もちでいらっしゃるので何度も、何度もあのパンフレットを読ませていただき、パワーを頂いております。
以前ある日、教会聖堂のイスや掃除道具の置いてある部屋にくしゃくしゃにされたマリア テレシタ アルバラシンのほほえみの絵がかいたパンフレットが無造作におかれていて、私は、そのほほえみにひかれ、家に持って帰りました。神さまが祈りなさい…と、私におっしゃっているような気持ちになり、大事にプラスチックのシートに入れ、毎日いのっております。パンフレットのすべての個所は私に反省の心をうながし、勇気を頂き、気力がわいてきます。苦しみから逃げることしか頭になかった私。何度もパンフレットを読み、私もマリア テレシタ アルバラシン様のようにお祈りできたらどんなによいでしょうか…と思うようになりました。気持が暗くなった日は、とくにテレシタ様のほほえみは効果がございます。私の手元にあるテレシタ アルバラシンのプリントを一生の宝ものになると確信いたしています。そのことを申し上げたくペンをとりました。
