From 24 February to 8 March, Brothers Paul Raj
and Roberto Cabello have been doing vocation promotion in the dioceses of Jowai
and Nonsgtoin which belong to the state of Meghalaya. The name of this state
means “the abode of the clouds” and it has a mountainous terrain. The majority
of the population is Christian, either Catholic or of other denominations.
During these 13 days of travelling through this
land dotted with hills, we were able to present our vocation in 12 secondary
schools, even though in several places it was difficult because they were
either preparing for exams or were on holiday. 138 young people showed interest
in being in contact with us to discern their vocation as Brothers of the Holy
Family. We were able to visit 35 families of these candidates. We are very
grateful for the welcome and help they have given us and for the kindness with
which they have treated us. These are seeds of the Sa-Fa charism which we hope
will bear fruit in due time.
