Mother Amy Emmanuel
Sr. Amy was born as the eldest of the two children of Varghese and Annakutty, of Koonamparambil House, in Pallickamury Parish of the Kothamangalam Diocese. The ways that the Lord led Sr. Amy to form ASJM and PDM are amazing. During her higher studies at Vimala College, Thrissur, she received a visible anointing of the Holy Spirit. This powerful anointing of the Holy Spirit helped her embark on her journey to consecrated life in CMC Congregation and inspired her to live a life of asceticism. Sr. Amy, who made a firm decision to follow God’s path amid her parents’ opposition, followed the Lord by embracing the sufferings that the Lord allowed in her life. She was led by a desire for a deep vowed life and spirituality, the desire to become a holocaust for the salvation of souls, the renewal of the Church, the sanctification of priests and consecrated persons, the anointing of the gift of the Holy Spirit, the zeal to prepare the world for the second coming of Jesus, the courage to train and prepare missionaries, ministers, priestly students, and consecrated persons and to make them ready for the work of the Gospel. Finally, she did her Vestition and First Profession on 24 April 1994. The anointing fire received during her studies enabled her to ignite the fire of God’s love in all she met.
Since the time of her Novitiate, she had received an inner call for the strengthening of Priests and religious communities. She informed the authorities of the burning desire of her heart for the salvation of souls and expressed her will to come to a new monastic life. If you want to win precious souls, you have to pay more… In 2007, after seven years of paying the price, Sr. Amy received a positive response from the higher authorities.
