Dimapur: Salesian College: 23rd march 2017
Don Maliekal animated the residential students of SCHE this morning over the Holy Eucharist. Speaking in his homily, He underscored over on the following points:
1. We have a well-established infrastructure here. Everything seems to fall in place here. Everything we need is here.
2. But if do we make use of what is fully available here, then it serves no purpose.
3. These days, the theme of formation is widely talked about in all circles. What is happening here? After all these careful process: Capital: money, personnel and human resources, many of the formees do not bear expected results.
4. While being here, we need to concentrate on the three points:
4.1 We need to relate to God well, by being men of God, of Spirit and men of Union with God like our Father and Founder Don Bosco. Otherwise, the people and young people at large may not see in us men of God as they do not approach us for counseling and spiritual direction. They would rather approach for admissions and administrative matters.
4.2 We need to relate to one another well. We can do it by loving everyone and accepting everyone. We need to chip out of our personality and character all that is unacceptable for loving others.
4.3 We need to talk to ourselves often. We need to reflect as to who we are, what we are supposed to do and where are we going. We need to pay attention about our living.
If we pay attention to all these three, then we can surely be considered as good persons, saintly religious and men of God.
