Final vows.............

This has been a long journey since I had joined in the seminary. I joined in the seminary in the year of 1996 and now it is 2007. oohhhh

With all the intentions of my heart, it was that I want to be a religious. Now as the desire come to a reality. What more????

We have been preparing for this day. September 8. Last one week there was only work. Day and night we were working. Sometime I was feeling so bad, that we were like workers. Ok. Now the work is over.

on 6th afternoon my family left kerala to come to Andhra to join the celebration. They reached here on 7th afternoon. In the evening I went for confession to my Spiritual father, and my family was living in a small distance from the Bishop's house. So i went to see them. I was with them for sometime.
As I come back home there is yet works to be done. so again some works more.
on the 8th morning we had no special timetable. so sometime of prayer. And some finishing touches of the works. As i was having my breakfast the bus reached seminary with the family members. Ok. i take them to my room.
After sometimes , I was ready and come to the front of the house. Myself and another brother were welcoming the guests. And after a while the bishop had come and was ready. The inauguration of the house and blessing took place. And we were moving towards the chapel to bless it. After that we were ready to go for the Mass.

During the Eucharistic celebration we six of us do our final vows. And in the name of the church and of the congregation, Fr. Madhya accepted our vows. And the Eucharistic celebrations and all the other related things went very well. some of the assistance given to Bishop and organizations were simply good.
Now I am a full religious in the congregation. All that I need to do is to be faithful to my vows.
Amen.
