To love the brothers is not easy!  Seminarians started to come to the School. Two from Thailand, one from Borneo, five from Bicol, southern Philippines, one from Cebu, and others will come from Samar today, Philippines, not mentioning the others who will come from Tarlac and others from this country. 

We will have a short school of one month together and learn about spirituality of communion, endorsed by John Paul II for this millennium, here in the Priests's School for Asia, endorsed by the CBCP (Catholic Bishop's of the Philippines) since 1983, a need not onl yfor Asia but also for the world, for the church and churches. 

It became clear to me that the main commandmant of Jesus is to love one another. This is the only way to be one so that the world will believe that we are all coming from the same family, having the same Father: call it Yahweh, Allah or simply God, our Father.

To love requires from me, and maybe to them, to each other and to be in each othe's shoes, the trips they have made, their worried and concern to be in another environment and the anxiety of the future of what this next days will be for them. 

I have to struggle from my own preconceived ideas about each one and be empty, to create a space in my heart and be a witness of this unity with my brothers who are co-responsibles of the school together with me.  My bishop has just allowed my to stay for another year for this purpose, a kind of stupidity of "not doing" anything but only to concencrate on this building up a supernatural family by living communion through the communitarian spirituality.

We lack personnel and resources, we have to rely on work and more on the grace, and even more on the love and unity that we have for one another.  I have to start always to love for example the responsible and help in decision making even just last night of the schedule.  Sometimes I need to loose my idease just to let unity be more evident.  It seems it needs really to loose and be detached from everything except in loving as Jesus taught us.

That seems to be the only thing necessary, the "porrum unum" and I am pleased to brush away other things, though good, in my soul to let Jesus, His love always shine. Though not easy it is worth a try!
