Fifth Week of the School of Mission

The fourth teaching week of the School of mission shifted our focus from God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit to ourselves and the nature of the human person. As the participants were encouraged to look at their personal journey, there was only one place they could go with all their fears and brokenness… to the feet of Jesus.

While the sessions enabled them to comprehend their human behavior with all its emotions, the evening sessions of prayer ministry enabled them to come face to face with their pain.

Fr. Francis gave the participants an introductory session on the significance of inner healing on the first day and from the second day onwards, Diana Mascarenhas shared insights and experiences about the stages of human development, our self-image and self- acceptance, emotional well-being, identity and certain aspects of our human sexuality. The main message given by Diana all through the week was, “The journey towards healing and wholeness has begun. Do not be afraid to take off your mask.” 





Sharing by one of the participants of the School:

The week of inner healing was an important one for me. I didn't realize the impact of the early life experiences such as the prenatal period, my point of birth and my early childhood on me. All of these had the absence of my earthly father both physically and emotionally. It gave me answers as to why I felt and behaved in a certain way. Most importantly I experienced that truly all things are possible with God because He has healed areas in my life where I thought healing could never take place. Praise the Lord God Almighty!
