Shamelessly I’ve turned my back and burried my sketches for more than 100 days. Many things have happened in these long grace filled days. It’s true that the workload has been rather heavy and demanding over the past couple of months finding myself hushing up and patching up my final works especially with the thesis. Otherwise I have no other reason to justify my negligence.
Among many other things, I know I should have sketch it atleast the visit of my companion priest Fr. Stanis from Luven, Belgium - 26th to 29th March. We had such a wonderful break from our studies. We manage to even make a trip to Loreto. And then the visit of Fr. Samuel Kapani from Innsbrugh, Austria -, 26th April to 1st May. We had a wonderful time. We even manage to make a dashing visit to Florence with Srs. Kainee Rose and Irene Mizo on 29th April. We witness the great moment of the beatification of John Paul II on 1st May which we participated among the flowing sea of people with great emotion and awe.
A wonderful get together with the 14 bishops of the region of Northeast India at Collegio San Pietro on 8th May was a homely experience. And finally, I could be guilty of negligence if I don’t make a special reference to the meeting with the Holy Father Benedict XVI on 12th May during the Ad limina visit of the bishops. This, I must admit was a unique experience and blessing to be able to see him and talk to him personally and receive his blessings.
Now the last days in the school are fast approaching which means I have to be preparing for the term exams and more importantly being the last year of the license I have to also defend it. I’m sure I am in your prayers and I am immensely grateful for this great faith I have in you.
