Many of us look up to Mother Mary as our Divine Mother to guide and nurture our souls towards the joy and love perfected by Christ. This is a 2-part video series in which we bring to you glimpses of the journey with Mother Mary, as witnessed by Reena Issac and family of Roger & Jilu Chengat.

Roger and Jilu Chengat have been married for 6 years and reside in Massachusetts. They have 2 children - Magdalena (5) and John (3) and one angel in heaven. Roger’s parents, George and Rose also live with them. Mother Mary has been a beautiful part of their life and journey and they share with us some of their experiences as a family.

In this short video, Reena narrates one of her very first experiences with Mother Mary as a child and how the magnitude of it helped her to grow in faith in the Mother!

Reena is an IT project manager by profession, dancer, cook and movie maker by passion, a voracious reader by choice and a Jill of few trades (if not all) by destiny. She loves spending quality time with her friends and family and believes in the mantra of finding pleasure in the simplest things in life . Reena lives in Boston with her husband Beji and two boys Alexander and Alfred.
