On Wednesday I visited my
friends at St. Pius X Seminary. This is the major seminary in Bombay and
it is where my journey to the priesthood began. As I con-celebrated the
mass, walked around the seminary and prayed in the various chapels, it
gave me goosebumps because this is where it all started for me. As I
reflected on my entire journey of discernment and priesthood, I realize
how God has always been faithful and continued to give me the strength
to serve Him.
Bombay is a city of 12
million people and most the people live in absolute poverty. People from
different
faith backgrounds live in peace and harmony. Everyone has some belief
and fear of God. As I walk through the streets and watch the poor, I
have never seen them sad or depressed. They have absolutely nothing and
yet they have peace. Reminds me of the Jesus words: Blessed are the poor
for theirs is the kingdom of God (Luke 6).
I
continue to enjoy the good weather, good food, super family and friends
and the good faith of the people. I hear that Scarborough is full of
snow. No worries as long as we have our faith, family, friends and
common sense (can't take risks in the bad weather), all will be fine.
God bless,
