Dehonian Youth Mission....St.Antony Community

I was with the group of St.Antony community. We stayed in a house. The house was arranged by the community. In the beginning we were 9 members in the group, after the first week 2 (Kellem andMarcio) left for home because they had to attend the classes. The one more joined in our group(Daiane). Mt group memebers were Fr.Fabio, Fra.Sergio, Luise, Guilherme, Jamila, Erick, Kellem, Marcio, Daiane and myself. It was like a family. How wonderful it was the time I spent with them. Each one of them were teaching me something each day. They were my brothers and sisters. They were encauraging me to come out of my skyness and fear to face the situations. Really I improved a lot in my approach to the people. Thank you Lord for the each one of them. We prayed together, cooked together and shared together, visited families and learnd from them. The Lord was with us to guide us. The people in the community how wonderful they are their hospitality, their eagerness to share with us. Everything was a learning experience. It was very hard to say good bye because we were like a family. But I believe that this seperation is for something good. To share what we learn from this being together. The you jesus for this meaningful time we shared each other. Thank you for your guidence.

The Dehonian Youth Mission will be until 23rd of this month. The youth from different states are here for this great event. The coordinates made some 9 gruops, each gruop has about 10 young people and each gruop has one priests and brother. I was with the gruop of Santo Antonio. First two days I was with them. Then Had to go to Taubaté for the visa purpose. then I cam eback and joined with my gruop now. It is a wonderful experience for me, because I learn manythings from this DYM(MDJ). I hope this experience will be meaningful for my future ministry. I enjpy my time with the youth. I always try to learn from the situation and experieces. Thank you Lord for this great chance that you have given me. I am impressed by the readiness and happiness of the youth to whom I live. Thank you Jesus.
