The OCDS Community of the Guardian Angels in Kiev shared in a very joyful celebration on Saturday 27 July. Mrs. Ludmila of the Holy Spirit made her promises in the presence of the Community’s assistant, Fr. Jana Dudeck OCD. The Eucharistic ceremony took place in the monastery of our Carmelite Nuns and this provided the blessed opportunity for members of all three branches of our Order to be in attendance.
Despite many difficulties and the on-going war, members of the OCDS Community managed to gather in the Monastery to celebrate this important event together. The fact that all three branches of the Order were represented as well, underlined their unity and mutual support. Such gatherings help us to imitate our Mother Mary and our Carmelite Saints and encourage us to pray for each other and for the whole world with greater devotion.
