Sr. Juliana a sign of simplicity and selflessness:
I came to know Sr. Juliana Xavier Mathalil when I was sent to Stella Maris Convent in 1968.We were together till 1977 when she was appointed as superior in Child Jesus, Trichy. After three years she returned to Stella Maris to teach in the college. We were together again till 1993.
I have known her as a simple, humble, prayerful, hardworking and kind person who was ever ready to help others. She used to spend time in the evenings to help poor children of the neighbourhood in their studies by giving them free tuition. She was ready to help others
in whatever way she could. Her health was frail but she had a strong will. She would never say or do anything, even playfully, that could hurt the feelings of others.
She had volunteered to go to Mercy Home and she was very happy serving the inmates there. She has lived a selfless and fruitful life. May she intercede for us that we may joyfully live our lives, enriching the lives of others especially those who are poor, or lacking in this world’s good things.
