“I experienced God's love in abundance. Since childhood, I have experienced how much God loves me at every stage of my life. And I still see it today on this feast day. »

Sister Mary Theonilla was born on December 8, 1922 in Wewala, India. Last Thursday, Bishop Valence Mendis of Kandy celebrated his centenary at St Anthony Church in Nainamadama.

 

“I have experienced God's love in abundance,” she told AsiaNews. “Since childhood, I have experienced how much God loves me at every stage of my life. And I still see it today on this feast day”.

"Today we are not only celebrating the pretty figure of one hundred", the bishop specified in his homily, "we are celebrating a beautiful, exemplary life, shown before us". Because the centenary of this nun also marked her 75 years of priesthood.
