Farewell to Fr Joy Francis
“My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to complete his work”
(Jn 4:34).
Jesus who said these words highlighting his mission still helps us to
draw inspiration to preach the good news to lands near and far. Heeding
to this call, with utmost obedience just like his master Jesus, Fr. Joy
Francis has prepared himself to touch the earth of Nagpur, Maharashtra
and give witness of Christ to the people there.
As he was serving in the community of Pushpashrama, the community felt
apt to bid him adieu with a grand farewell. He worked marvels in
Pushpashrama by renovating the chapel, repairing the sound systems,
installing TV screens in the shrine to facilitate easy worship and so
on. His cheerful spirit and helping nature was truly inspiring and
influencing. Therefore thanking him for his very presence in
Pushpashrama and wishing him success in the new mission land, the
community organised a cultural programme which included a colourful
display of talents of brothers. Fr. Superior and Br. Jesvin shared the
happy moments we shared with Fr. Joy. Fr. Joy also happily thanked the
community for their support and encouragement.
Though everyone were distressed sensing the loss of a gem in our
community, yet everyone thanked God in their hearts for calling Fr. Joy
to be a Carmelite MISSIONARY and prayed for his good health and success
in his ministry.
