BRAZILIAN JULY WITH MY DAUGHTER AT PARQUE SUICA

Image
  God has His ways (Is 55:10). Who can understand the mind of God? His plan is so perfect - we can only appreciate it in retrospect.  I saw so many tiny and huge miracles in the month of July that my love and trust in Him grew by leaps and bounds. He bestowed on me many graces and gifts through the intercession of Mary Most H oly and our Holy Founders.  Like I mentioned in my earlier post, I came to know a week before I left India that I was homeless in July. Previously, I had arranged to be at the Vu residence till 30 July but, due to some miscommunication, Mrs Vu had booked the rooms for their Canadian friends in July.  So, I travelled to Brazil with no surety of accomodation for that month. I surrendered the problem into the hands of Dona Lucilia.  Coincidentally, the Sequeira Vaz family had also travelled to Brazil and were to leave on 30 June. They have a beautiful home in a neighbouring area called Parque Suica, a gated condominium just like where the Vu...

BRAZILIAN JUNE WITH THE VU FAMILY

Image
The day dawned when I left the shores of India for Brazil. 15 May, Qatar Airways 523 GOX-DOH and 773 DOH-GRU. We reached on time at GRU airport, and Bro Rene and Nathan were there to take us to our respective homes. I was to stay with Mrs Vu for five days, then join the pilgrimage group and return to her house after the pilgrimage was over.    During those five days, I got to meet Mrs Branca, a Canadian friend of the Vu family. She was very warm and made me feel at home.  Mrs Vu is Vietnamese. She is a mother of six children, three of whom live with her while one married son is settled in Canada. Of the other two sons, one is a Heralds priest, Fr James Vu. The other had gone lobster fishing with his father Mr Huan Vu to some place in Canada.  I was alloted a single bedroom which had no windows. I think it was originally designed to be the pantry but later was furnished into a bedroom. They also had two other guest rooms, one with a double bed and the other with twin ...

THE INDIAN CARAVAN IN BRAZIL! Part Uno

Image
Another two days and I will be flying away from the Paradise on Earth which is Tabor.  I arrived reluctantly and am going back reluctantly.  Where on earth will I find the solitude, the simplicity of the liturgy, the great silence, the awesome ambience of the Mass as I have experienced here at Tabor?  Dona Lucilia has been behind all this planning and execution, with Msgr Joao and his grandiose vision of an Indian infusion into Brazil's mother house. I learnt the Secret of Mary - it is the prophet for our times, Dr. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira. Let me go back in history to 19 March  when I first took that bold step to join the Pilgrimage group coming to Brazil from India. Our numbers grew from 15 to 30 but only 26 chosen ones got to actually reach here.  The first miracle Dona Lucilia performed for me was to grant me my visa appointment date as 21 April, her death anniversary. And the supreme joy of getting it approved within a day! Later, this benevolence was ext...
