No 7: My sweet Jesuit home.
Our novice master used to tell us, “Once you are Jesuit,
any Jesuit community in the world is your home.” Having lived in different Jesuit
communities in different countries, I can truly confirm the statement of my
novice master. After spending (the)14 days at the hotel, I came to a Jesuit
community. It was really coming to my own home!
A big hug from a Jesuit companion made me feel
welcomed. It was a meeting of after twelve years. He showed me the room, a very
traditional Jesuit room with very little things. He invited me for a cup of
tea. I immediately graved the opportunity. Sipping a cup of tea, we began to
share our lives. Specially, we began to enquire about our common friends.
We were all together four Jesuits in the community. What
did we do in these three days? We have had long chats, long drives, long walks,
we cooked our own food...and, of course, we have had manual works too.
We these good memories, tomorrow (15/04/21) I go to
Kandy to begin my Tertianship.
