The much awaited
course on the Spirituality of the Constitutions of the Society of Jesus was one
of the best in the second term of the Novitiate. Fr Jossie D’Mello condensed
the entire matter of the Constitutions and made it delectable to be grasped by
the Novices from March 12 to 14. His talks fired in us the motivation for deep
learning and introspection. Connecting the Constitutions to the Spiritual
Exercises and the Autobiography of St Ignatius, Fr Jossie drew a clear picture
of the spirit of the Society of Jesus. “Mission is the heart of our
spirituality”, he stressed. To make matters more interesting and practical, he
candidly connected the points to the apt little details of our lives in the
Novitiate, which sometimes gave us the blushes. The course has helped us
assimilate the mind and heart of the Society. We are grateful to Fr Jossie for making
us drink deep from the fountain of Jesuit spirituality and bringing us back
inspired in the service of God.
