Bengaluru: Apostolic Carmel Sisters lend helping hand during second wave of Covid-19


Media Release

Bengaluru, May 10: The Apostolic Carmel Sisters at Jayanagar, Bengaluru, have been distributing free meals for 750 people in and around Jayanagar, Bengaluru.

The pandemic has firmly gripped our nation. Doctors, healthcare workers, medical staff, Covid-19 warriors and attenders are putting their own lives at risk with selfless determination for the sake of saving lives working from dusk to dawn.

The pandemic and lockdown have taken a big toll on daily-wage earners, the underprivileged and the homeless. Many elderly persons and poor people suffer as they are unable to get any support from others, a meal even, due to lockdown. These are challenging times we are currently living in.

Heeding to the call of the difficult times, after observing the pathetic condition, moved with compassion Sr Nirmalini, the superior general of the Apostolic Carmel motivated the Sisters to plunge into action and to share the goodness with our neighbours. This included Covid-19 warriors, doctors, nurses, helpers, patients, attenders, medical staff, of Jayanagar General hospital, Jayadeva hospital, Indira Gandhi Children’s hospital, workers of BBMP wards of Jayanagar, Thilaknagar, JP Nagar and Gurappanapalya and the children, families, poor and hungry of the surrounding slums of Jayanagar.

Every morning the sisters of the Apostolic Carmel Generalate and Lourdes Convent cook the food and make packets with the assistance of Rosie, the social worker and Babu who taken them for distribution. Sr Nirmalini the superior general, personally involves herself in this Herculean task of delivering the food packets although times are challenging and dangerous. Every day the food is distributed to different hospitals and slums by the social workers. This act of kindness and love spread through the sharing of food by the sisters of the Apostolic Carmel brings a smile to the face of people who receive it with gratitude.

This Covid-19 support service project was launched on May 3, by the Sisters of the Apostolic Carmel, Jayanagar Bengaluru. Sr Nirmalini AC the superior general enthuses her sisters saying, “This current experience of Covid-19 is giving us an experience that we are one humanity. We need to take individual responsibility to look after the common good and overcome our fears and anxieties. All the same, we want to walk together to lend our helping hand to lighten the sufferings of our people. Let us continue this noble work of feeding the hungry and needy by accepting the measures and sacrifices that allow us to contribute to the good of our brothers and sisters during these difficult times.”

    Humanity is the greatest religion and great job serving mankind..... Living up to the texts....... “”” What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works”””

    90+ percent of the positive comments from Christian Community shows the mindset of people... This shows the power of Communal hatred is working which was already spread by dirty politicians.

    Flavian Mangalore,kuwait,critisism is always there whether one does good or bad.One should simply dont care .See what is in front of you ,and the need of it.When stay back ,there are hungry people remain hungry and may die.My question is how do they finanaze it?Second they give food in these Alu .packets .People will be throwing them after meals.One side it is increasing the thrash ,and Alu is a worthfull metal .one can collect it and sell or revalue it.Does one do this.?why cant people bring some their own bowl also ,so that thrash becomes less.Hearty thanks to sisters who do this.Most of the religious sisters do this to the poor.That other side some people think it as a way to convert people .well one cant change others brain.Mother Theresa too helped poor ,or looked after the one sick and set out people.

    Unfortunately such acts can be done by the sisters only during a pandemic even though they dedicate their lives to serve humanity and deserve praise and honour for all their acts may God continue to bless them.
