The community of the Sister Disciples of the Divine Master in Camberwell welcomed the Daughters of St Paul and the Pastorelle Sisters of Melbourne to celebrate the solemnity of the Divine Master on 29 October 2017.
The Eucharist, celebrated in their chapel, was presided by Fr Anthony Walsh OP, Prior Provincial of the Province of the Assumption in Australia, New Zealand and the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. He gave an interesting and thought-provoking homily. He said, “Genuine consolation is found only in truth.” Is not the Divine Master Truth par excellence? Towards the end, “the Word of God dwells in us, and we cannot do God any favours, yet he gives us grace.”
It is always a joy to come together as a Pauline Family. We all lead busy pastoral lives but our annual feast days are special events that we mark off in our calendar from the beginning of the year. The Pauline Family in Australia is small and we acknowledge one another’s encouragement and support to remain faithful to our common mission to live and to give Jesus, way, truth and life to the world.
As can be seen from the pictures, we come from many different countries and our ages vary from early forties to ninety. Though many, we are one! It is the marvel of God’s grace at work in our lives! We continue to pray to our Master and Shepherd to send good labourers into his vineyard!
After Mass we were treated to a delicious afternoon tea in the Sisters’ lovely recently renovated dining room and kitchen.
Another memorable day as a Pauline Family!

I count it as God's grace to belong to the Pauline Family, participating from time to time to the various devotions that each Pauline Congregation celebrates. This time, a congratulations and happy feastday to the Sister Disciples of the Divine Master, I bet you they are good.

What a joy to be gathered together once again for the feast of Jesus Master! I am most grateful to each Sister who made themselves to be present.
