Ann’s Convent Bhanjanagar

Evaluation
1) Personal Fragility & the Fragility of our religious family: As our five fingers are not
same, so also in the community we are different from each other physically, spiritually & emotionally. Some
of us when we came across with misunderstandings, betrayals, difficult situations, confusions & problems,
instead of facing them wanted to run away from that kind of experiences, people & places. When we take one
step to God, God takes seven steps & where sin increased grace abounded all the more. When we took
courage & turned to God in surrender in those pain full moments, we have experienced the power of God
more powerfully & His graces abundantly. The support & encouraging words of sisters, Word of God from
the bible, above all the Holy communion & communion with God in personal prayer enabled us to accept
oneself as we are & others as they are.

2) Making ourselves “neighbours” to one another: We have experienced the closeness of

each other in the community, when our people at home are sick, community celebrations, School works, and
functions. We also felt the closeness of each other in times of sadness & discouragement. Our open dialogue
with each other is enabling us to understand the other one in a better way.

3) Receiving & Giving: As a community we make use of our God given talents & gifts for the
betterment of community & our mission work. We also give extra attention to the weaker students & a
listening ear to the parents & teachers when they come with problems, and difficulties, worries & sadness. We
try our best to guide & support each other through prayer to build a better community.
