HCSH Museum Road
Museum Road Students’
Home: Life and Activities: 2011-12
We made sure to celebrate our regional identities and festivities
and felicitate each of the regional groups on their state feast days as well as
individuals on their birthdays.
This year we tried to learn many skills to maintain our
house. Among them were plumbing, masonry, painting, electrical and computer
maintenance. Not once we called a repairman for anything but managed to fix
doors, taps, electrical fittings, etc. We hosted several groups of Jesuit College students from across India as well as welcome our own fathers who came in for meetings or visiting. There were groups from Tamil Nadu, Meghalaya, etc come in for excursions Even when we had 40 guests at one time, no one complained about washing bed sheets and preparing beds and putting up with all the disturbances. We considered all of this as part of our training and formation.
When you come next time to Museum Road you will notice many
changes in front of the house.
We think of the many fathers especially Fathers Chella and
Shiju who came here regularly to celebrate mass, give talks and assist us with
recollections, etc.
We ask your prayers as we come to the end of another phase
in our journey that we may take the right decision for our future.

Celibacy Today?
How safe are celibates?
The new emphasis is on companionship and compatibility.
 |
The priests “pledged to safeguard their celibacy vow in the face of modern-day challenges, and treat it as a gift from God.” At the conference Fr. Francis Scaria said that priests in the West and in Africa were facing serious issues related to celibacy. What about India? If there was no problem, then why the concern?
Beauty of a Home
Building A Home
The walls of a house are not made of wood, brick or stone, but of truth and loyalty.
Unpleasant sounds, the friction of living, the clash of personalities are not deadened by Persian rugs or polished floors, but by conciliation, concession and self-control.
The house is not a structure where bodies meet, but a hearthstone upon which flames mingle separate flames of souls which, the more perfectly they unite, the more clearly they shine and the straighter they rise toward Heaven.
Your house is your fortress in a warring world, where a woman’s hand buckles on your armour in the morning and soothes your fatigue and wounds at night.
The beauty of a house is harmony.
The security of a house is loyalty.
The joy of a house is love.
The plenty of a house is in children.
The rule of a house is service.
The comfort of a house is in contented spirits.
The maker of a house, a real human house, is God Himself, the same One who made the stars and built the world.

Attitudes for Faith
1) A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.
2) He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.
3) To be almost saved is to be totally lost.
4) When praying, don't give God instructions - just report for
duty.
5) Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory
position.
6) Coincidences happen when God chooses to remain anonymous.
7) If God is your co-pilot - swap seats.

Call and Excuses
Call of God and Excuses
| When God Sends People...They Make Excuses: Abraham was too old. Moses stuttered. Miriam was a gossip. Jacob was a liar. Gideon doubted. Elijah was burned out. First David's armor didn't fit, then he had an affair, and had someone killed. Solomon was too rich. Isaiah had unclean lips. Jeremiah was too young. Jonah didn't like the job. Amos's only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning. Naomi was a widow. Peter was afraid of death. Thomas was from Paul was a murderer. Mark was rejected by Paul. Timothy had ulcers. Lazarus was dead. Martha was a worry-wart. ...or so they claimed, before God's Spirit empowered them to rise to the occasion and become some of the greatest heroes of our faith. ------- Another shorter version: |
