THANK YOU LORD

Interview with Fr William Sequeira, Our Rector

Fr. William is a person of the heart. His quest and zeal for Ministry describes his own personality as a Jesuit. His simplicity of lifestyle inspires us to live a simple and committed life. The core of his life is his Spiritual ministry which has been a great support to many people in this house. He aims for ‘Magis’ and his motto of life is “Be strong in life and in the Spirit”

1. Fr could you describe your life in short?

I hail from Balkunje. The whole life of mine was filled with many memories and experiences. I was lucky to join the Novitiate with 14 members. Two years of regency made me a tough person and gave me a good experience.

2. What do you like most about the Society of Jesus?
The spirituality and belonging and above all, the quest and zeal for ministry and mission.
3. What is most satisfying being a Jesuit?
The most satisfying is joy and contentment in the ministry and our response to it should be ‘love one another with all your heart, mind and soul.’
4. Fr. What do you cherish being a Spiritual Director?
The way God is at work in the life of the people. Lots of changes can be seen in a person who is open and transparent to the Lord. This gives me the real joy and fulfillment.
5. As we are in the Golden Jubilee year of Mount St. Joseph, what is your message for our readers?
First of all I feel happy to express my joy and gratitude towards this house because this is our mother house. Those who have passed through this house are benefited in every aspect of their life. My message for the Novices is “Be strong in the life of the Spirit which is the decisive factor of a Christian.”
