Our hearts at MSJ were filled with immense gratitude towards God on the 19th of June as fifteen (Martin, Anand, Pradeep, Yesunath, Alwyn Misquith, Arvin Pais, Ashwin D’Silva, Jason Martis, Jaison D’Souza, Joel Fernandes, Prashanth Saldanha, Joyson Vas, Ruben D’Souza, Ryan Rodrigues and Rajesh Sankuru) new bright, sparkling, twinkling, charming stars coming from different places joined the Novitiate. They journeyed together fruitfully through the First Probation (It is a time for a novice to know and love God, the Society of Jesus and oneself by committing totally to Christ Jesus and His 
mission). It was the ‘Entrance Day’ for the freshers on the 2nd of July when they began the Second Probation in the Society of Jesus. In the evening, we had the Eucharist. Fr William Sequeira was the main celebrant. He preached an inspiring homily. After the Communion, a hymn was sung to the Holy Spirit followed by a prayer for the descent of the Holy Spirit. The freshers recited the prayer of a novice on the entrance day. Soon after the prayer, there was laying of hands on the first year novices by Frs William, Dion, Sunil and Jossie D’Mello. A picture of Jesus was given by Fr Dion to each of them. “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” As the novices have taken the first step in the Society of Jesus, their presence has brought a lot of joy and happiness to our community.
