Dear Sr. Felita,
It is your birthday…
The day God has blessed
The world with yet
another
Blessing, a babe at
Anjengo,
For all to cherish for
ever…
God never duplicates and
That way you are unique
With your sweet traits
Pleasing gestures…
But for your becoming
A religious, and that too
as
A Carmelite of
Trivandrum
Known as Holy Angels
nuns
I would not have known
you…
It is there the trouble
starts…
The mystery of
Incarnation:
‘God emptying himself
Taking the form of a
servant…’* (Phil 2:7)
Seemingly means nothing
to you!
As a congregation you have
Alienated enough the poor
of Yahweh!
Is it not an affront to
Jesus who
Was born in a manger,
hungry and
Had nowhere to lay his
head…?
Would love people like
you
Bring some sense in the
Congregation
So as to ‘exalt those
of
The so called low
degree’* (Lk 1:52)
Though out of station,
am present
In spirit with all your
sisters,
Friends and well
wishers to
Wish you ‘Ad multos
annos’
And all blessings from above…
Happy Birthday to
you!
