At Church of St Paul the Hermit

Image
I accompanied Brother Andrew Loke, FSC for a vocation promotion at the Church of St Paul the Hermit - Bestari Jaya on Sunday (17/5). Eleven of us from the vocation promotion team of KL Archdiocese turned up including a diocesan priest and team leader Father Christopher – an Old Boy of La Salle PJ. Other religious congregations participated in the program are Fransiscan Missionary of Mary (FMM), Little Sister of the Poor (LSP), Infant Jesus Sisters (IJS), and Good Shepherd Sisters (RGS). We were the only Brothers congregation who went for the program. Travel to Bestari Jaya took about two hours drive to the northwest of KL. We were lucky enough for the smooth trip and lovely weather. After the exit of KL highway and upon reaching Bestari Jaya the road was a bit winding with very few cars passing. Along the way was reserved forest area. We reached the church around 7.30am. Church of St Paul the Hermit is a newly built small church. Most of the parishioners are Tamil-s

Ignasius Heri Satrya Wangsa FSC *) This article is published by Catholic Sabah Masalah dalam hidup Pernahkah kita mengalami rasa kecewa atau kepahitan selama menjalani hidup ini?   Hidup yang dirasakan sebagai tidak memiliki arti. Hidup yang dirasa suram dan gelap. Sebaliknya, pada sebuah kesempatan kita mengalami hidup yang dipenuhi oleh sukacita dan kegembiraan. Pernahkah kita mencoba berpikir sejenak, apa arti itu semua? Ada yang berpendapat kekecewaan adalah wajar. Kecewa (yang kemudian mendatangkan kesedihan) karena harapan yang tidak dapat dipenuhi. Pendapat lain mengatakan kekecewaan dan kesedihan   sebagai suatu “halangan” untuk mencapai kebahagiaan hidup, dan oleh karenanya perlu dihindari, dijauhi dan (bahkan) dihilangkan. Sukacita dan kegembiraan dalam hidup kemudian menjadi tujuan karena disitulah akan didapati kebahagiaan.

JOINING THEM

Indeed, the great time was with them joining for planting the seeds of God's love. They did and made it perfect. Young people are always with laughter and movement. Dynamic in their blood. No such other words to replace "God is so close". I was with them growing my taste of life. Testing out my commitment. Is it because of "green element"? I introduced them some values: faithfulness, patience and celebration. To bring it into one and complete. Emotion revealed and converted into passion. From nothing to something. From myself to ourselves. Collective! How great the world is. Thank You, Lord for this creativity. Everything is there....
