Montns and months passed and finally got hold of time and means to be connected to the internet.  It has been an adventure not only the real ones for summer has just ended, but a spiritual adventure of how the Lord prepares and purifies for a job granted to my unworthy person.  To be the rector of our diocesan seminary of about 200 seminarians, high school and college in Numancia, Aklan, Philippines.  For the past months I have yet succeeded to have a broadband, things need to be prepared both inside me and outside myself.

Inside me, perhaps there is not time to narrate.  Outside of me, I feel lucky to be blessed with God personnel and staff in th seminary.  I could not be more grateful.  To love always and be guided by the spirit of love seems to be working, in fact "Love conquers all"

Tomorrow I will go to Italy.  My bishop allowed me to attend a formators' meeting in Vallombrosa near Florence to meet  with other formators in the world who are linked with the Focolare for two weeks.  To be immersed in the charism of unity and in the truth of where the Holy Spirit is guiding this apostolate of forming seminarians is not a bad reason to go.  In fact the timing seems to be miraculous for me since my previous trip last January did not push through due to doctor's advice as if God already reserved this meeting for me, now that I am well with the grace of God, or as it seems to be.

The Spirit of truth will guide, I hope this spirit will also guide us who work in the seminary. Needless to say if you are familiar, please include us in your prayers as we pray the God may bless you with his abundant gifts!

congratulations for being the new rector and may you be refreshed in italy! :)
