Medjugorie

Mr Simen spoke about Medjugorje ("between the hills"), a place in Bosnia-Hercegovina, where six young people saw visions of the Madonna (Mary, Mother of Jesus) appear to them. Beginning on June 24, 1981, the Blessed Mother appeared to, and later told the visionaries that God sent her to our world to help us convert our hearts and to bring lives back to Him. Our Lady's call is one of Peace, Love, Faith, Conversion, Prayer, and Fasting

Mr Simen taught the school how to say prayers from Medjugorie. He also spoke about the importance of fasting. Every Wednesday and Friday, those who wish to follow the Medjugorie instructions and covert sinners , should eat only break soaked in water every Wednesday and Friday.

"No One Can be the Slave of Two Masters"

Mr Simen spoke to the students about a Bible passage from Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:!3

"No Man can be a slave of two masters; he will hate one and love the other; he will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money". Mr Simen then analyzed the text and broke it down in terms of syntax (grammatical arrangement of words) . He also analyzed the semantics (meaning of language) of the text.

Mr Simen said that he served Montfort Secondary School. He is the pilot and captain of the plane which flies Montfort towards Flight Montfort at 36k. He is not the one who cleans the grease on it's wheels. He told all teachers and students that they cannot serve two masters. They must serve Montfort Secondary School, a Catholic school run by the Brothers of St Gabriels, inspired by Catholic values and the life of St Louis Grignion de Montfort.

Mr Simen delivered a Tamil quote: "Whoever gives you porridge, kiss his hand. Not someone else's".

Montfort School has given it's teachers and students work, it has given them rewards, it has given them training and instruction, it has given a chance to realize their dreams, one must
never take it for granted and "serve two masters".
