Day 2 began with participation from parishioners especially Monica Purde. She is the back bone of the Eucharistic adoration at the Good shepherd Church, a truly inspired and convinced servant of the Lord. She has never left us alone since Awakening 2011 and subsequent monthly adoration. She is a parish committee member. She is a portal for us into the local community. She was the coordinator from the parish for 7 days adoration in 2011 and 3 days in 2012. She was happy to come between 6 am and 8 am every morning which we have difficulty finding people during weekdays and was fully committed to reach on time. She did the same on 23rd morning.
Towards the end of Day 2, the participants from parish community reduced and at some point there were just two people sitting in front of our lord. (‘O Blessed Sacrament Thou must be expecting many of your beloved brothers and sisters to stay with you and you are ready to pour your love and mercy abundantly to them. However, because of our laziness we could not inform many people to come and experience your love in the community. Jesus, we are sorry for not spreading your word properly’).
From 9pm onwards there were many people from Malayali community and parishioners came to stay with our Lord. During the night, there were about 5 people. One of them named Kuriakose has day duty on 24th but awake all night and went to work in the morning for full day. He said to Justin Thayill that he would love to stay on Thursday (24th) night as well! isn't it awesome to see the Lord at work in us!
