All of the FMA of Madagascar were joyfully and enthusiastically living this time of preparation for the Gratitude Celebration and they write telling us: “Dearest Sisters of the whole world, we want to share with you our sentiments of great joy and gratitude for the presence of Mother Yvonne. The joy is even greater because of the waiting for the arrival of la Madre. We arrived from different parts of the island and went to Ivato to welcome her and to cry out loudly, “Welcome among us !”
La Madre was welcomed by Sr.Ciri Hernández ,former Councilor for the Mission Sector and now provincial of this province,who went to the airport with a few councilors while the others waited at home. As soon as they saw the car ,the Sisters burst forth in great joy with songs and dances in rhythm to the hymn of of the National Youth Day of Madagascar, thus representing the presence of tha Madagascar youth.
Sr. Ciri greeted Mother Yvone with great affection and interpreted all the Sisters of the province, even those who were outside Madagascar for different reasons, and offered a lambahoany (a cloth) the Malagsay sign of welcome, while Sr. Razanamaria B. Lucie Yollande expressed the joy of all, in giving Mother a wreath of roses.
Mother Yvonne then manifested her joy saying: “I have come to Madagascar with joy, I have come for you ,but the whole Institute is here present in prayer, and the eyes of the Sisters of the whole world are turned toward Madagascar.”
