MANILA: 18th April 2008 -- "We
just came from our 8-day retreat in
preparation for perpetual profession. Yesterday, we submitted our
application letters for perpetual profession.
On 6
April, we went up to Baguio City—the ‘city of Pines’
and the ‘summer capital of the Philippines', for the
retreat at the Jesuit Villa in Mirador Hill. It
was about a 6 hour trip from Manila.
By the way, Baguio is at the heart of
the mountain region of the Northern Philippines.
It has a very good and cool climate.
Among
the perpetuandi there is one coadjutor brother, the rest are
students for the priesthood.
Since the beginning of the month, we have been undergoing intense
preparation for perpetual profession. This will last until the end of
the April.
And
so, we had an 8-day Ignatian retreat. There were 5 retreat guides: one
Salesian brother, one Salesian priest—our acting Provincial now, Fr.
Danny Torres! One Don Bosco Volunteer (DBV), one married woman, and one
Jesuit scholastic.
Each participant was assigned to one of these guides.
Tonight
at dinner time, it was announced that all those who applied were
accepted. So 15 of us will make the perpetual profession on May 1, at
3pm in the Shrine of Mary Help of Christians: 1 Korean, 1 Indonesian, 3
East Timorese, 4 Vietnamese and 6 Filipinos.
