The second year Novices took a pleasant stroll down the
memory lane as they made a one week visit to their respective families from
January 27 to February 2. Home Experiment marks the beginning of the intense
period of discernment of vocation to the Society of Jesus. It is a part of
preparation for the First Vows.
Returning back
to their home away from home, Mount
St Joseph, they were
brimming with many memories. Here are a few grateful second year Novices who
would like to share their experiences.
Sameer
Francis: The main aim of my experiment where I sprouted was to discern my
vocation. I am happy to believe that I have achieved in this and I have taken a
firm choice in deciding to carry the everyday crosses. The bittersweet
experience of the Home Experiment was a very special one and a remarkable
experience in growth. 
Jaison Lobo:
Going home after a long gap was a festive experience. It was a joyful
experience to meet my people and to see the familiar faces. I received great
love and support from my parents in pursuing the will of God in my life. As I
look back, I realise that my family is a sign of love and peace.
Sudeep Pinto: “Everything that happens in the life of a person is an opportunity for
self-growth.” Home experiment was another God-granted opportunity to me. Being
with my family members, neighbours, relatives and friends was a joyful and an
intimate experience. I had a wonderful time listening to my all and sharing in
their joys and sorrows. 
Godwin Sequeira: Home experiment became a passage to my roots in order to gain energy
from it. I was happy to spend quality time with my parents as the seed of my
vocation was planted at my home. The experience was a mixture of challenges and
joys. A lot of personal insights bloomed in my mind during the experiment and I
am grateful to God and my parents. 
Nithin Coelho:
The experiment refreshed my memory
Past became a blessing
Parents' faith and confidence in God
Strengthened me in my odds
Their support was their determination
For their prayers were for my vocation
What else could I have asked for?
Was this not what I longed for?
