Jeena and all,
I think I was wrong in using the word in my last mail to correct your
mother. I was just trying tell Jeena, to help her mother with the correct
knowledge of what is meant by self-appraisal and witnessing. And I think it
would be good if Jeenas mother know more about witnessing, that her
daughter did a good thing because a mother would be proud in her daughters
spiritual growth. Am I right?
Sorry Jeena, don't feel bad.
And now when I opened Fr. Thomas' mail the same subject is clarified very
much. Thank you Father.
Love
sebastian
