FOUNDRESS DAY CELEBRATIONS AT MARYMOUNT CONVENT SCHOOL

May 26th, 2010

Praise Her with a Flower

On 23^rd April 2010, our school celebrated Foundress Day. Even though it was a simple celebration with only a mass, it meant a lot to most of us Primary 6 pupils because it is our final year and we will not be able to celebrate any more Foundress Day in Marymount Convent School.

This year’s Foundress Day was special because there was an offering of handmade flowers and handwritten cards during the mass. The handmade flowers were done by our Primary One and Two juniors while the messages on the flower-shaped cards were penned by our Primary Three to Primary Six pupils. Our love offering show how much we appreciate our foundress, Saint Mary Euphrasia, who has touched the hearts of many with her love and kindness.

Good Shepherd Partners’ Retreat 2009

November 29th, 2009

A CALL TO LIVE AN ABUNDANT LIFE WITH LAUGHTER

by Mary Teoh

On the last weekend of October we were included in a retreat by Fr Philip Chircop on “Living Good Shepherd Mission in Our World Today” who was conducting an eight day retreat for the GS Sisters. Having attended a retreat at Maranatha last year by him we were full of expectations and we were not disappointed. Fr Philip’s pushing the limit and energetic style proved to be an eye-opening and fun experience full of laughter and yet on the more serious side he managed to address our fears and dispel some misconceptions.

“I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” John 10 :10. What have we done with the abundant life that has been given to us? Have we lived it to the fullest or merely existed. Most of us walk around as if we’re sleepwalking. We really don’t experience the world fully because we’re half asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do.

By living each day as if it could be our last, we relate to each life experience passionately, powerfully and memorably.

“We have to learn how to die before we die, so that when we die, we won’t die.” With this philosophy, “ each instant of life would be laced with urgency and passion. We would remind ourselves of the significance that every human experience can yield. We would pinch ourselves regularly as a reminder to appreciate the moment. We would make all days and events meaningful and memorable—even the so called monotonous ones.”
We live our life of abundance when we give Life by way of giving our time and interacting with those in need as Life is a process and we are an incomplete work in progress and we are called to celebrate the time we have, spending it fruitfully and NOT killing time. We are called to be Creative Pilgrims and not mere Tourists in this journey of Life hence the constant reminder we must embrace life, seize the world and conquer it. As a wise man once said, “Life is not measured by the amount of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.”

As Christians we are people of the Way and we must see the church as a movement NOT as an institution and breakaway from the “Just in case” attitude derived from fear which blocks our potential. We follow the Good Shepherd who is the WAY, TRUTH, LIFE.

We are called to be loving and compassionate people of God and we are reminded not to use the question HOW ARE YOU? lightly. It must be used with much thought and care and when you ask someone, be prepared to spend time to really listen.

The Vak Tapas, a discipline at the verbal level can serve as a guide for us in our interaction with others. We must avoid verbal violence which is the most powerful and worst form of violence. The words should be truthful, kind and beneficial Vak Tapas requires that we must be very alert. Before coming out, the words must go through a ‘metal detector’ inside us that acts like a quality control meter filtering the words and giving the stamp of quality. We are called to “Be the best you can be, not what others expect of you” Mother Teresa says “Do the ordinary in an extraordinary way” We should learn to “Make our routine into rituals of Grace” and we are called to: “Love yourself - Don’t expect to give something to others which you don’t have yourself.”

Everyone is capable of doing good and having an impact on another’s life and Anita Broderick’s quote says it all “If you think you are too small to have an impact, try going to sleep with a mosquito.”

We were called to Embrace Life and reminded of the lesser known characteristics of the Good Shepherd : Laughter, Joy and Dance in our celebration of authentic Joy and the celebration of the senses.

Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words” says St Francis of Assisi which helps highlight the fact that the better way is always by the natural Law of Attraction when what you do and what you are compels others to gravitate towards you in the quest to have a share of what you have “A candle is a lovely thing indeed it makes no noise at all
But softly gives itself away while quite unselfishly it grows small.”
Simplicity, light heartedness and laughter is paramount when we try to follow the ways of the Good Shepherd and we are reminded that “Hope is learning the melody of the future” and “Faith is dancing to that melody to the here and now.”

We were introduced to PLORK - Incorporating Play and Laughter in work in the place of mere work and PLINISTRY - Play and Laughter in ministry which will help set us apart as people of God when we add in that element of enjoyment in our endeavours as “The Afterlife is already reflected in your life now.”

The poem crumbs serves as an appropriate reminder of the attitude to adopt in our call to serve

Gathering Up Crumbs
Be careful with the crumbs. Do not overlook them.
Be careful with the crumbs; the little chances to love,
the tiny gestures, the morsels that feed, the minims.
Take care of the crumbs; a look, a laugh, a smile,
a teardrop, an open hand. Take careof the crumbs.
They are food also. Do not let them fall.
Gather them. Cherish them.

– Gunilla Norris, in Becoming Bread

BOOK LAUNCH 23rd August 2009

November 28th, 2009

Launch of

Living Stories:

In Her Footsteps

By Morene Sim

November 2008 saw the seed been sown by the Mission Link Committee (MLC) to publish a collection of stories by Good Shepherd partners as part of the Heritage Year 2009 celebrations.

Nine months later, in August 2009, we witness the birth of Living Stories: In Her Footsteps.

The publication was a much-anticipated event. The MLC, like any mother, underwent labour pains to give birth to its new-born. Imagine the MLC’s thrill and delight on receiving the publication when it was delivered - all 5,000 copies of it!

As with any proud parent, the MLC was ready to present this new-born to all partners in the Province of Singapore-Malaysia. The official launch of Living Stories: In Her Footsteps on 23 August 2009 in Kuala Lumpur by Sr Susan Chia (Province Leader) and Sr Dorothy Khaw (Chairperson, MLC) was greeted with much joy and pride by some 100 GS partners present!

The MLC appreciates the contributors who shared their stories willingly and candidly, the donors who gave generously, and the Province Leadership Team which supported the publication unreservedly.

Truly, the publication, as well as the launch, is an excellent demonstration of partnership effort at work!

Celebrating Good Shepherd Partnership 2009

November 21st, 2009

Our Good Shepherd Heritage –

Following in the Footsteps of St Mary Euphrasia

By Theresa Symons

The Province of Singapore Malaysia celebrated Good Shepherd Heritage in August 2009 with the theme “Following in the Footsteps of St. Mary Euphrasia”.

To ensure that as many Good Shepherd Partners as possible could be part of the event, it was held in three separate locations, i.e. Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu and Singapore, from 22 Aug 09 to 30 Aug 09. In total, almost 250 Good Shepherd Partners, comprising sisters and lay partners, participated in the event.

Sr. Deanna Pereira from the Province of India was the main speaker for the celebrations.

She shared her insights on St Mary Euphrasia (SME), captivating the participants with her excellent story telling skills on SME’s childhood and adolescence.

Sr. Deanna elevated the participants to a greater appreciation of SME and her compassion for women and children who led marginalised lives after the French Revolution. SME’s zeal and desire to reach out to women and children who lived beyond the geographical boundaries of Angers led her to the founding of the Generalate.

The participants listened in awe on how SME rose above the challenges she faced to realise this prophetic vision that eventually brought the Good Shepherd mission to 70 countries in five continents including to the shores of Singapore and Malaysia.

Sr. Deanna also recounted stories of SME’s lay partners, namely Count De Neuville and Countess D’Andigne, who worked closely with her on the spread of Good Shepherd mission. The participants were told of the close relationship SME had with many other lay partners, women and men, who shared her vision and collaborated with her in the set-up of convents and homes. The participants were able to identify with the lay partners in SME’s era and draw parallels to their own committed involvement in Good Shepherd mission today in Singapore/Malaysia.

Many Good Shepherd Partners shared that they were grateful for the rich heritage of Good Shepherd mission and how humbled they were in their attempts to walk in the footsteps of St Mary Euphrasia and make positive differences in the lives of those who live on the margins so that one day they too may be assimilated into the mainstream of society with dignity and respect.

PADANG EXPERIENCE 8th to 17th October 2009

November 21st, 2009

WE WENT TO PADANG TO HELP, AND RETURNED BLESSED

By : Catherine Loh, Mercy Daniel, Maria Dipal, Patricia Barasik

On 8 October 2009, five of us, Mr Yohanes Solo, Sisters Catherine Loh, Mercy Daniel, Maria Dipal and Patricia Barasik left Singapore for Padang, Indonesia after a missioning service.

Yohanes Catherine dscn39132 dscn39161 dscn39172

We were welcomed in Padang by a medical team of doctors and nurses headed by Dr Bebey of PERDHAKI, the Indonesian Catholic Doctors Association. Seeing the buildings and houses that were destroyed, we could imagine the pain and suffering experienced by those who had lost houses, property and family members.

Over the coming days, we split into two groups and visited badly affected villages in the interior areas. The medical teams set up makeshift clinics, using at times the van as dispensary. In spite of the heat and humidity, the team worked tirelessly distributing medication and food supplies. The local volunteers of medical and religious groups knew the culture and village social setting which made it easy to mobilize relief teams to different village communities.

dscn3937 dscn3955

Many a time, we felt the unspoken pain of people who had lost their property or loved ones. Yet nobody complained or blamed God. In one instance, we were taught the meaning of courage and the preciousness of life by an eighteen year old. Afraid that he would be buried alive with falling stones he had courageously bore excruciating pain, and, on his own amputated his crushed right leg with a saw, to free himself from a boulder that had fallen and pinned his leg.

dscn3960 dscn4033

Being in a mixed community of Christians and Muslims, both among the volunteers and in the villages, we were sensitive about differences and made conscious effort to be inclusive. We experienced God as being among us; beyond religion and culture.

Catherine…

The gospel story of the poor widow who gave her two coins (Mk.12:43) was reflected to me by two village leaders who had lost their homes and yet shared with the sixteen volunteers what little they had, such as, young coconuts from the few trees left standing – so that we could quench our thirst.

As we drove to the interior villages, we saw children lining the sides of damaged roads which were at risk of collapsing. We saw the desperation on the children’s faces and felt a sense of frustration and helplessness as they held out cardboard boxes and tin cans, appealing for assistance.

Was I afraid? Yes, for our safety and the safety of the people in Padang. My experience in Padang is of one of ‘gratitude’. The humility, simplicity and acceptance of the people in the face of such tragedy, challenged my own faith – to trust and to be grateful for small things.

Mercy…

I had gone to Padang with the notion that I would ‘give’. Instead I ended up ‘receiving’. During our 10 days there, I witnessed the ‘other-centeredness’ of people even in their situations of great loss and grief. I am enlightened by some of my encounters. I asked a lady how she could bear her loss so calmly. Her reply was, “I am not the only one who is suffering loss!” She taught me what it means to be in solidarity with others in their suffering even when one is experiencing loss oneself.

As we said our goodbyes on the last day, we were told that Dr Bebey, Head of the medical team, had taken a day off. She had gone to attend to her home which had also been destroyed. In the 10 days of working with her, she had not said a word about her own loss. Instead, she went about seeking out and attending to the needs of others. We saw similar selfless attitudes by many others who had suffered losses themselves, yet made themselves cheerfully available for those in need. For me this was a lesson on ‘availability and other-centredness’ and a challenge to be more open and willing to be stretched.

Patricia Barasik…

I believe that Christ was manifested for me, in the persons I met in Padang. I did ‘little’ in the form of listening to the pain of people, packing and distributing food and medical supplies, visiting families and being present with the people during community prayers. Yet, in doing the ‘little’, I know that I have grown to be more compassionate, and, learned to be in solidarity with people who suffer.

After having lost everything they owned, the people of Padang have to begin to build their life all over again. Knowing the challenges ahead that await them, many of them expressed their appreciation to God for having been given a second chance at life. As I look at the experiences in Padang, I realise that there are many blessings I have received in my life which I have taken for granted. I am grateful for the opportunity of being reminded by the people I met, the importance of valuing the blessings and gifts I have. I am challenged to ‘let God lead’ and to ‘trust God more’ in everything I do, even if I think it is just a ‘little’ thing.

Maria Dipal…

Uncertain of what exactly we would be doing in Padang, I went with an open heart and a willing spirit, ready to, ‘Just love’ (St Mary Euphrasia).

During our stay in the village communities, we broke the word of God among some Christians who had gathered for prayer on some evenings. Many shared that the experience of the earthquake had brought them closer to God. For some, their children were the ones who asked them to call upon God when the earthquake struck. Seeing how Christians and Muslims supported each other in the aftermath of the disaster, I witnessed in them communities of faith and felt that I was standing on holy ground.

A few of us came across a man who had a leg injury, and left unattended for three days. He had dragged himself into a cow shed and lay there in a feverish condition. His wife who looked distressed and helpless, and three year old child were close by. It seemed that nobody had come to their help. Since he refused to be brought to the hospital, we attended to him over the next few days as there was a local nurse among us. It was a relief and joy to see him recover very soon after. “I never imagined that my family and I could ever live in a cow-shed,” he said. He looked sadly toward the rubble that used to be his home. Then with a hopeful smile he added, “Since you came, many people visited me and gave us food, and I am better now.” I am thankful that our visit enabled us to come in contact with this man and his family and that our presence and little act of kindness had made a positive change in his neighbours that made them reach out to him. We had all been given the opportunity to ‘just love’.

As we left Padang and returned to Singapore on 17October, we thanked God for the prayers and support of each of you, our sisters and Good Shepherd people. We felt the presence of your solidarity and God’s compassionate spirit with us as we worked with others to make a difference in the lives of the people affected by the earthquake in Padang.

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR GOOD SHEPHERD PARTNERS AND FRIENDS, FOR YOUR GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS AND PRAYERS.

21 CARTONS OF FOOD SUPPLIES AND CASH DONATION HAD BEEN BROUGHT IN TO PADANG AND DISTRIBUTED DURING THE MISSION TRIP.

MORE FOOD SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED, THESE WILL BE PACKED AND SENT TO PADANG SOON.

Foundress Day Project 2009

June 19th, 2009

Working in Partnership with Good Shepherd Convent Kindergarten, Restful Waters and the Children’s Cancer Foundation

Gift from the Heart

St Mary Euphrasia, the Foundress of the Good Shepherd Congregation was a woman of great faith, compassion and love for the poor. In order to emulate her good deeds and to make the celebration more meaningful, Good Shepherd Convent Kindergarten partnered with Restful Waters and the Children’s Cancer Foundation to work on a donation drive.

Together with their principal and teachers, the K1 and K2 children joyfully came together on 22^nd and 23^rd April for baking sessions. While the nursery children came to watch their elder brothers and sisters learn how to bake.

11-june-2009-316 11-june-2009-311

11-june-2009-3101

All were excited and happy knowing that they were contributing towards helping children with cancer and their families.

The cookies and tarts they baked were then packed and sent home on Foundress Day, 24^th April. Parents generously donated towards this special project.

The objective of the activity was to inculcate in the children the value of our Vision “One person is of More Value that the Whole World”. As such, every individual child is to be respected and valued. The donations received will help to improve the quality of life of children with cancer and their families through enhancing their emotional, social and medical well-being (Children’s Cancer Foundation mission and vision).

Dear Good Shepherd Partners

Greetings from the Mission Link Committee!

2 February 2009

Dear Good Shepherd Partners,

Greetings from the Mission Link Committee and blessings for the New Year!

In our efforts to develop and strengthen Good Shepherd Partnership, we would like to dedicate 2009 as Good Shepherd Heritage Year.

St. Mary Euphrasia summed up in one sentence our heritage, “I only loved… but I loved with all the strength of my soul.” This statement is typical of her simplicity and single-mindedness. Through the loving study of her life and an earnest endeavour to internalise her values, we Good Shepherd Partners today can realise in our lives something of the depth and breadth of her love. It is a love within the reach in all of us, since the same Spirit has been poured out on us in our call to Partnership for Mission. We have within us the seed of that same inner dynamism that moved her. (Adapted from The Spirituality of St. Mary Euphrasia, 1980)

Let us take a moment to acknowledge with deep gratitude our Good Shepherd Heritage and Legacy, and the Mission that she had entrusted to us. Let us make 2009 a special time to draw deeper from our own Good Shepherd Heritage and nourish our zeal for the Mission.

In this newsletter we want to share with you some updates and upcoming events. We invite you to join in our excitement and anticipation as we grow in our Partnership journey.

1. Invitation to contribute your Living Story

In conjunction with Good Shepherd Heritage Year 2009, we want to compile a collection of our very own Good Shepherd stories. Hence, we invite you to contribute your experiences of Good Shepherd. Please refer to the attachment for more details. We hope to receive your contributions by 10^th March 2009.

2. Celebrating Good Shepherd Heritage, August 2009

This will be a celebration organised by the Mission Link Committee for all Good Shepherd Partners from Singapore and Malaysia. We are in the process of firming up dates for the second half of August 2009 with the resource person. We will be sending you more information in our next newsletter.

3. Good Shepherd Asia Pacific Partnership Gathering – Echo Session

The inaugural Good Shepherd Asia Pacific Partnership gathering was held in Kuala Lumpur in June 2008 which brought together Good Shepherd sisters, staff and volunteers from Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia. Over the 4 days, we prayed and celebrated, we had conversations and meals, we listened and shared, we made connections with each other over our common passion – Good Shepherd Mission.

Our Province had 16 representatives at this gathering and they are in the process to “echo” this experience to all Good Shepherd Partners. Sessions have already been held in Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur on 17 & 18 January 2009 respectively. Sessions are also being planned for Kota Kinabalu and Singapore.

4. New Mission Link Committee Member

We welcome Morene Sim as our newest member of the MLC, joining us in January 2009. As some of you would already know, Morene is a volunteer at Good Shepherd Restful Waters in Singapore and serves as the chairperson of its Working Committee. We look forward to our working together in Mission.

5. Annual Retreat in October – November 2009

Good Shepherd Sisters will be having their annual retreat which will be led by Fr. Philip Chircop SJ, from Canada. It will be a preached retreat and will focus on the Spirituality of Compassion and Reconciliation in line with the Congregation’s and Province’s direction. This retreat is open to all Good Shepherd lay partners and the dates are as follows:

20 October (morning) – 26 October 2009 (evening) @ Marymount, Singapore,

29 October (morning) – 4 November 2009 (evening) @ Madonna Heights, Kuala Lumpur.

In view that many lay partners will not be able to attend the full retreat, a 2-day weekend programme focusing on “Good Shepherd Partnership for Mission” has been arranged during the above retreats on the following dates:

Location	Dates
Singapore	17 – 18 October 2009
Kuala Lumpur	31 Oct – 1 Nov 2009

We will be sending you more details as the dates draw nearer, but do book these dates in your diaries.

It has been an active start to this year and we have much to look forward to in this our Good Shepherd Heritage Year. So, we conclude this newsletter with the words of St. Mary Euphrasia,

“Go forward in the spirit of God, I am relying on your zeal.”

United in the Compassionate Love of our Good Shepherd,
