Feast of the Sacred Heart 2017.

Dear Friends in Christ,

How quickly the year has passed already! The many activities here at Saint

Loup has kept our little Community very busy. One of the outstanding

events was the Monastic Profession of our Nigerian born Sr M Brigid, which

took place in the 21 March- the Feast of the Passover of St Benedict. It is well

remembered by our Congregation of the First Profession of Sr Brigid three years

ago when well over two thousand people attended the Ceremony! However, the

turnout for Sr Brigid’s Monastic Profession was smaller and friends from all over

France, England, Germany and Nigeria came for the

joyful occasion. Bishop Joseph de Metz-Noblat presided

with 13 Priests and a Deacon- squeezed into our little

Sanctuary. As Sr Brigid sang the Suscipe, “Uphold me Lord

,according to Your promise and I shall live; let my hope in You not be in vain.”(ps.118)

After the Ceremony the celebrations continued for our new Mother Mary Brigid

who was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude

for the gift of her vocation as the spouse of

Christ! Her joy was felt by everyone who saw her

When she sang with her Nigerian friends

and family at the reception. Now Mother Brigid

looks taller in her white cowl, and her smile is

still reflected on her face as she begins this next

phase of her Monastic journey!

The account of baby Anna

Grace Adele Meloni

You will remember last year in

December of 2016 our dear Mother

Foundress-Marie Adele Garnier was

declared a Servant of God. The process

for her Canonisation has already

commenced and many people coming

forward with their testimonies of the

favours they have received through

Marie Adele’s intercession. Here is one

such recent account by Rev Mother Xavier about the Meloni family :

-‘ Sara had related to me the long story of what the doctors had described as a

hopeless case, and their advice to give up the idea of having a family, and to

concentrate on developing her other many gifts and talents instead and she would find

peace….Then she decided to visit me ( at Tyburn Convent) with her much loved

grandmother. They both related to me in great detail just how empty Sara’s life was becoming….So we agreed there

and then to visit the tomb of our Foundress Marie Adele Garnier. We prayed the official prayer for Mother Foundress’

canonisation, and after that Sara knelt down before Mother’s tomb and prayed silently for a long time. She was in

tears when she stood up and told us that she felt the close, motherly presence of our Mother Marie-Adele.’

Sara returned home with some hope in her heart that God would help her. Mother

Xavier continues ‘ Imagine my delight and joy when Sara telephoned me after a week

or so, to let me know that her doctor gave her the results of a test he had just done.

“He tells me the results are positive and I am pregnant. Thank you so much

Mother!” With great joy I promised her my continuing prayer through Mother Marie-

Adele, our Foundress.

Anna Grace ADELE Meloni was born 9th January 2017- a day of immense joy for the

entire Meloni Family! Thanks be to God! On 9th April baby Anna Grace Adele was

baptised , which she thoroughly enjoyed, waving her little hands with joy when she

was anointed with the Sacred Oils. After the ceremony, baby Anna

seemed to want to be held by Rev Mother Xavier, stretching out

her little arms to Mother Xavier. Then when a large picture of

Mother foundress was shown to baby Anna, her eyes became fixed

on the photo and was happily smiling and waving her little hand to

the picture. (see above photo). Sara said-

“It is as if wee Adele (Anna) already knows Mother Marie

Adele and that indeed it was Mother Marie Adele who was

instrumental in bringing wee Adele to birth.”

AMEN! ALLELUIA!

THE BIRTHPLACE OF MOTHER FOUNDRESS-

SERVANT OF GOD

- MARIE ADELE GARNIER

We have wonderful news to share with you!!! As

everyone knows, the Cause of our saintly Mother

Foundress -the Servant of God, Marie Adele Garnier- was

officially opened last December 2016. It was during this

event that Very Rev Mother General was told that the

house of Marie-Adele’s birthplace was up for sale at Grancey le Chateau!! You can imagine our excitement when we

heard of this! A miracle! - but there was one minor problem: money!

Almost immediately each of our Monasteries around the world began to

storm Heaven with prayers, and word was circulated among our

benefactors and friends to help us bring about this miracle! No one ever

thought that purchasing the birthplace of our Mother Foundress would

ever be possible! Last year during the General Chapter we had visited

Mother Foundress’ house and we could only stand outside as it belonged to

somebody else. Who would have thought that it would soon be ours!

Within a very short space of time the money was raised- a sign to us that it

was the Will of God- and the purchase of the little house went through on 8

March 2017. A great day for rejoicing!!! May God bless all our benefactors

and we shall always pray for them!

Years ago the House of Marie-Adele had been used by the local Police and

recently as a tourist information centre. Very Rev Mother General -Mother

Marilla (Aw) said that “the construction of a chapel in the house …is

significant for us as a Congregation but also crucial now when her Cause

for Canonisation has just opened”. Even the Archbishop Dijon was keen on

the idea of a new chapel/sanctuary to be built at the House also saying in

his letter “ The Diocese of Dijon rejoices at seeing the rise of Grancey-le-

Chateau as a

place of

pilgrimage

where your

sisters will

radiate the

spirituality of

the Sacred

Heart!
