Agustinian Experience

"if you are not kind then you are not our kind" is a statement made by an Agustinian sister to a priest. The priest happened to be one of the officiating priests during the perpetual vow rites for sister Nena and sister Flora May. During the ceremonies, the priest shared how he experienced the kindness of the Agustinian sisters. The priest, of course, told the truth. Had you been one of us In the convent of the Agustinian Sisters of our Lady of La Consolacion along Santolan Road in San Juan city, you should have experienced the kindness. The smile of every sister in the area before, during and after the ceremonies is sincere. There were many sisters and they were in white. There was no moment of boredom, no moment of feeling tired. Every moment was light. I was so glad that I made it to the program.


As a part of her concluding remarks, the mother superior of the convent, who is obviously of the same heart as the other sisters, targeted the question "who is your God?" to sister Nena and sister Flora May. Mother superior told them "Go and serve your God". She informed the attendees that sister Nena is to leave for Indonesia and sister Flora May is to go to Thailand. Both shall expand if not introduce the community of the kind people in the other countries.
