I am very happy that the CSST Kerala Province is launching its own website through which we hope to disseminate our vision and mission expressed in our life and ministry. Mother Teresa of St. Rose of Lima, the woman who had a dream of uplifting those millions who sit in the valley of darkness, lighted the lamp of knowledge a century ago through education and other ministries. For her education was a means to reach out to the people specially the marginalized. In all the difficult situations she found the opportunities for growth. She was a missionary with a mission. CSST Kerala Province continues to radiate that light by upholding the values which she imparted to us through generations. As we journey ahead holding the lamp which she lit we hear her saying “Forward sisters, forward… Sisters must give the lead…” May our Foundress Servant of God Mother Teresa of St. Rose of Lima who lived out the Teresian Carmelite Charism be our inspiration and strength in establishing a civilization of love. Let this world experience the compassionate love of God through our presence.
