Birthday Gala

All the world's a stage & all people are merely players. They have their exits & entrances and one person in his/her time plays many parts. These words of William Shakespeare beautifully summarize life. "Birthdays are feathers on the broad wings of time." They come as peak moments in life where one can sit, relax and gratefully recall the marvels that God has done. We were glad to celebrate the birthdays of Fr Dion and Novice Martin yesterday.
What is outstanding in Fr Dion’s life is that he trusts and that he can be trusted. Martin is a man of ideas that upsurge from his internal stillness and exterior silence. This is what makes them special and different. After the Eucharistic celebration, the novices were free the whole day. In the afternoon, we had a common gathering of the Novitiate community especially dedicated to the Birthday lads.
