St Francis Xavier still reigns in our inspiration today. Like the millions of devotees that flock to Goa to catch a glimpse of the saint’s incorruptible body, our community too was brought together around the Lord’s altar after a gap of a month on December 3. The Novices who were involved in the core Ignatian Experiments – The Month-retreat and the Mission Experiment were back to the community. Joy was visibly evident in the gathering and it was expressed in wholehearted participation in the Liturgy. Our knowledge of St Francis Xavier was heightened by Fr Tom Quadros’ insightful homily during the community Mass. The incredible life of St Francis Xavier continues to inspire many and captivates our attention unfailingly. Together with the pilgrims of Goa, we too journeyed closer towards understanding the saint and loving the Lord with a radical sense of faith.
