Experience in Seminario Dehonista, Lavras, Minas Gerais, Brazil

On May 1st came to the seminary(One of the minor seminaries of Priests of the Sacred Heart of Brazil Central Province). I came here for an experience until 22nd of May. I experience many new things here. I hope this experience will help me in the future. Here we have two fathers(Pe.Rafael and Pe.Honorio), one brother(Bro.Gilmar), two regents(Fras.Davi and Ceaser) and 20 seminarians. From them all I am learning for something of formation and community life. Mainly I see a dehonian spirit in the formation here in the minor seminary. Also it is a time for me to come in contact with our brothers here and learn more about the language. Anyway I am enjoying the life here and I am in peaceful heart. I thank the Lord for this meaningful experience. Praying for all of You.

Lavras City says bye to Dear Fr.Israel Batista SCJ

It was a chocking news for the city of Lavras, that our dear Fr.Isreal passed aways. Yesterday evening our dear Fr.Isreal went to our Heavenly Father to pray for us all. He was and he is an example for the people of Lavras and the whole Church too. His concern and love for the young that is what I saw in him and try to take to my life too. For the young he is a father, a friends, and everything. St.Ann´s parish is full of people from different parts of Brazil. His death is a big lost fot the city of Lavras. My dear friends pray for his soul. That he may be with our Jesus and pray for us.

HIS SOUL MAY REST IN PEACE.

It is very sad news that Fr.Charles Bisgrove has gone from us to the the house our Lord.

Dear Fr.Charles Bisgrove SCJ;

I love you, I pray that you may be with our Lord Jesus and pray for us your loving children. We always remember you, the good memories that you have given to us. You taught us how to be happy always and how to make others happy. Your example of religious life always inspire me to continue with my religious vocation. Thank you dear Fr.Charles Bisgrove. You are there always in my heart. I believe that you are with Jesus now, and praying for all of us(Dehonians). Dear father we love you.

Dores do Campo and Barroso

On 8th of this month I had a wonderful experience. I went to Dores do Campo and Barroso. There I attended two Charismatic Masses. It was really an experience of God. The prayerful day. I saw how the people pray and there trust and hop ein God. Which led me to think about my faith and vocation. For me it was also a time to know the people and place. Thank you Lord for this experience.

Carrancas

Yesterday was a wonderful day for me. I was with the youth from the parish. Went to Carrancas, to have an outting. Enjoyed a lot. Saw different places, beautiful. The places are naturaly gifted from the Lord. It was an ocassion also to speak with the Lord. In my life, first time I am taking and adventure to see the starting place of waterfalls. Anyway by the grace of God went well.

Where do we belong to?

I was thinking about these words ............There are many to speak about God but very few speak with God..........Yes we need to reflect and look to our life that there is any relation with our words and our life style. .............. How can we insiste the people to do whatever we preach if we ourselves can not follow them...............we need to become aware of this reality that where we are, with the people who speak about God but never speak to HIM..........or we are the people who speak with God and preach with our life experiences. We life should give an answer to this question. May my life should be a time to speak to God and to give HIS message to others.
