♡♡♡ Today Goa celebrated the Feast Of St Francis Xavier and we all wished each other.
That's what we do every year.
Feasts of any Saint from all religions is a day to understand what and how these saints lived and how they worked to uplift the poor & downtrodden.
How we live in the foot steps of St Francis Xavier is important from the day the feast gets over to the next feast day. Ie 364 days.
Look around and understand the principles of
St Francis Xavier – which was to be discerned and chose to be Christ's disciple in the Service of God & mankind.
And you and I have HAVE A HUGE NO. OF unlimited opportunity to serve mankind as we see sickness, hunger, poverty, grief and disappointment in today's world especially among our own Goans who are turning homeless quietly but quickly due to mental disabilities and other live threatening sicknesses.
Attached is a list of the type of people we care for in our 10 shelter homes in GOA, just like
St Francis cared for the lepers.
Today leprosy is under control but today the number one killer sickness is MENTAL DISABILITIES & mind you leprosy can lead to disability.
If you look at the charts attached with this post you will understand that 70% of our 180 inmates are our own local Goans and due to poverty and abandonedment they have turned homeless with disabilites and other Complicated life threatening sickness.
Rattle your brains and think when did you hear or be told of any SOCIETY or ANY REPUTED ORGANISATION caring for so many different types of poor goans with so many life threatening sickness UNDER ROOF & 90% are treated and cared for FREE.
We care for people with all types of sickness except CANCER & LEPROSY.
St Francis Xavier guides us through our work as we serve the poorest of the poor in Goa.
Once again A Very Happy Feast of St Francis Xavier.
