Prashanth Kumar: Our First Vows ceremony is indeed an unforgettable blessing in every Jesuit’s life. This is what I too longed for and prepared myself especially over the past two years. It was a humble act of surrender to the Divine. I was moved with a feeling of gratitude for all that the Lord had done for me and was now ready to ask Him, “What can I do in return?” Each word of the formula I uttered helped me to recall my vocation. These words were indeed filled with a divine energy and they hovered through my spirit. My vows have made my goals clearer and make me feel even more belonged to the Jesuit family.
Roshan Pinto: It was a day of commitment to the Lord and to the world, a day to remember the Annunciation to Mother Mary who said 'Yes' and received a Mission. It was time for me to sing deep in my being, “All to Jesus, I surrender.” These two years have been very significant in forming me because I feel humble and grateful to the Lord who has chosen me to be his companion. As I pronounced the Vows, a relationship developed with God, with the Society of Jesus, with creation and with fellow human persons. I feel blissful to belong to the Society of Jesus. This day has helped me create greater space in my heart for the values, virtues and companionship of Christ.
