In a world which is run by selfishness, self-centered,
egoistic, and at the limit full of indifferences, to choose to renounce to
oneself for Christ is a miracle. And we were called to witness such a miracle
this day, May 31, 2017 through the first Profession of the Evangelical Counsels
of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience in the footsteps of Don Orione in imitation
of Christ. Six (6) Novices from the Philippines, Jeric B. BATAS, Antero C. MEHOS
Jr., Jose Antonio O. OGARDO, Randy N. PASUENGOS, Czar Lawrenz B. PONAYA, Nestor
T. TAROY Jr.), two (2) from Kenya, (Simon MUGURO, Vincent MUNGAI) and six (6)
from India, (Vijay BALREDDY, John DAISTON, Devid KERKETTA, Petrus KULLU, Vijaya
BHASKAR, Christopher RAYMOND) are have made the first profession of religious
vows in the Congregation of Saint Luigi Orione, into the hands of Rev. Father
Anthony Eucinei DESOUZA, FDP, taking the place of Rev. Father Tarcisio gregorio
VIEIRA, FDP, Superior General of the Congregation. And this was in the Chapel
of the Saint Luigi Orione Seminary.
