At Church of St Paul the Hermit

-




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-speaking. Mass was scheduled at 9.15am. An hour before mass we all gathered in the church to start the program. Each of us was given time to share our vocation story. I took my turn during the homily. I shared my vocation story and gave a short introduction to life of the Founder.

After the mass the congregation were led to the exhibition booth. Many people came and approached us for a few questions. I saw also some of them came to Brother Andrew asking for blessing. We left the church at 11.30am.

Thank You, Lord for this great moment and especially to take part as a vocation promoter witnessing Your loving kindness. I pray for more young people who would like to generously take active participation in responding Your call for a meaningful life.  Amen.

ONE MORE ABOUT SPIRITUALITY...

It’s odd that after thousands of years of great spiritual example and literature we have to remind ourselves that spirituality is to be found in everyday life. The world’s sacred poetry, ritual, prayer, and art are filled with images of incarnated divinity, or the eternity that lies, admittedly sometimes hidden, in the temporal, or the transpersonal that animates our personal lives. Hundreds of times painters have taken up theme of the “Annunciation” and have pictured that moment, that eternal moment that is in all our lives, when the angel evident in Tibetan tangkas and in Indian sculptures and when William Blake says, “Eternity is in love with the production of time.” (Thomas Moore) So.... Spirituality is a mistery in the terms that it is difficult to logically explain instead it is a concept to be experienced. This life offers time to think about it through a number of moments. The high degree of spirituality understanding could be found in the perception of consciousness towards li

A NEW DAY

It is always in a new day when you start to look at something new. To meet people out there some might be a challenge - the chemistry! Those who would like to say that. That suddenly you can't get along with someone when you feel strange, worry and uncomfortable. I might not be used to look at their eyes, or deep inside down there (in myself) I could not find my peace. If you have peace inside then your peace outside should be exposed in natural way. However, things may be found different. Again, in a natural way the connection is just a matter of click. And, the complete peace happens. The laughter and all the sweetness turn up. Let the natural way be the guidance. Flow as it is with no single interruption or personal agenda. Why? there is no other way than being the best for yourself for the entire of your life. Don't even say "regret" for the decision you have made. You treasure it! Some say about "the process rather than result". Let pieces of yo
