With gratitude, we remember Sr. Seraphine, an extraordinary missionary and midwife who dedicated her life to serving others. Her professionalism, combined with a heart full of empathy, left an indelible mark on the lives of those she assisted.
Sr. Seraphine possessed great expertise in handling even the most complex childbirth cases. Her experience and intuition allowed her to face the most delicate situations with confidence and serenity. However, what made her truly special was her ability to deeply understand people, putting herself in their shoes with extraordinary kindness and sensitivity.
Beyond her mission in obstetrics, she devoted her time and energy to patients suffering from HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, offering not only medical care but also comfort and emotional support. Her commitment also extended to orphaned children, to whom she gave love and a sense of family, helping them grow with dignity and hope.
Despite her strength and balance in the face of difficulties, Sr. Seraphine also revealed her humanity with simplicity: she was afraid of thunder and lightning—a small detail that made her even closer to those who knew and loved her.
Sr. Seraphine’s legacy lives on in the hearts of all those she touched with her kindness and example. Her spirit continues to illuminate the path of those who dedicate themselves to others with love and devotion, reminding us that true greatness lies in the ability to care for others with infinite compassion.
Sr. Seraphine leaves us a precious legacy: that of kindness, generosity, and unconditional service. Her memory will remain alive in all those who had the fortune to meet her.
Sr. Mary Abraham Cheruparambil, Hyderabad
