Juniorate The renowned moral theologian Bernard Haring once said: “If Christ is not the centre, we become eccentric”. Christian tradition always insisted upon the vital importance of a God experience. It has to be a deep and personal experience. Only such an experience will help a religious person to live the primacy of God in her life, to live the vows in a radical manner and to give oneself totally to the mission in favour of the poor and the marginalized. In short, religious life is a way of life built around God experience and it aims at revealing the fire of that experience.The junior sisters placed in the communities are helped to grow and attain physical, mental, human, and psychological maturity through various programmes under the guidance of the superiors and the junior directress. At this period they are introduced to the ministries to make a deeper study of the spirit of the congregation. The junior sisters are prepared according to their aptitude in spiritual and secular studies for the mission. The community and personal spiritual exercise help them to strengthen their vocation and discover God within which sustains their spiritual stream of life and that carries them to an effective ministry. They are enabled to develop the evangelical conviction that there is no spirituality without a sincere and serious commitment to the poor.
