Come, for everything  is now ready! 

     “Come, for everything  is now ready”(LK 14, 17). It is the second project that we have planned in our Community this year. According to this project, we continue to motivate ourselves following the frameworks of General Chapter about the fraternity Banquet of Christ. So, we have three feasts here, the Last Supper of the Lord, the feast of our Lady of Consolation, most of all, the feast of St. Maria Rosa Molas and Christmas. Every feast, we decided to invite different people those who most disadvantaged. For this project we started with the Last Supper of the Lord. On this feast, we invited the people who are living in the river and participated in the first project of “Hitting two Birds in one stone” . And, through  this first project  we clean our environment at the same time the people involved can gain  some allowance.

     Before the invited people got to the banquet, we have prepared the tables, chairs, flowers and some decorations for the feast. When they came to our house, they were very surprised because they didn’t know that we would prepare a banquet for them. They were very happy smiling when they saw the foods and the drinks on the table because they didn’t have any chances to have special meals in their lives. This is the time for them to have meals with Jesus Christ.  They were truly feeling at His Table, eating and drinking with Jesus in his Banquet.

     This project was a special experience not only for them but also for us. We were joyful and happy to get to know them and  welcome them. Through this ,with the spirit of St. Maria Rosa Molas, we want to go out toward our neighbors. Along this experience we realize that we are just one of them at the table of the Lord,  invited to His iniciative.
