Choose Life, Choose Love

(Junior Roshan shares his experiences about his footsteps into the Juniorate) The thirteen of us safely stepped into the promised land of our vocation on 24th June where we received a warm welcome from the Juniorate staff. Frs Wilson and Rachaans, both vibrant and energetic in spirit, led us into our new home where one is called to live both his intellectual and spiritual life with a renewed vigor and zeal. Soon after we had a welcome mass to the Holy Spirit followed by an inaugural function. Fr Matthew, the Rector of St Xavier’s College, gave the inaugural address presenting a historical view of the Juniorate. We are 30 Juniors from all over the South Asian Assistancy who I feel are lively and dynamic possessing a special gift of community building. There was an orientation programme for two and a half days by Fr Joe, who reset our understanding in the stream of human life. We began our Juniorate, with our gaze fixed on God, with a genuine knowledge of ourselves, a tender love for our neighbour and with a desire to be placed into the midst of the cosmos. We are indeed grateful for all that the Lord has done for us through all our formators.
