One of the endearing images in the newspapers recently has been that of Mayur Shelke, a pointsman with Central Railway, who risked his own life to save a six-year-old boy who fell off the platform seconds before a speeding train passed through Vangani station near Mumbai. When Shelke learned that the child's mother was visually impaired and the family was poor, he donated half of his reward towards the boy's education and appealed to other donors to divert their contribution to the child or other needy. Mayur Shelke is an inspiration in these troubled times!

April has been quite a month with the frightening spike in covid cases around the country, massive gatherings at the Kumbh Mela and election rallies, fudging of data of covid positive cases and deaths, the Central Govt. and State Govt. accusing each other over the shortage of vaccines, patients dying due to the lack of oxygen cylinders, and a deficiency of medical beds, personnel, and equipment. Adding to this pain, a number of Jesuits tested covid positive and some of our brothers succumbed to the virus.

In this time of uncertainty and pain, we can be exposed to an excess of criticism of govt. mismanagement or constant updates of covid figures. Sometimes this can overwhelm us and paralyze us from doing good work, from helping one another in our own Jesuit communities, or from collaborating with people of good will who are actively reaching out to the afflicted. We need to keep our spirits up and do the best we can. Perhaps people like Mayur Shelke can show us the way.

Christian Life Communities training program was organized for the selected parish priests as well as

th thlay persons on 6 and 7 April. Lay persons from Khanapur, Gadhinglaj and Chiplun were present for the training together with the parish priests, Joe M., Kustas, Allwynand Joseph F.

“We are few but we are special,” said Hector, former Ecclesiastical Assistant of Goa Province, in his welcome address. Hector also placed before the group the historical perspective of CLC and its relationship with the Society of Jesus.

Joseph Fernandes highlighted some of the characteristics of Ignatian Spirituality and mentioned to the group how the CLC is different from other groups or associations. He also explained that CLC is based on the three pillars of Spirituality, Community and Mission. During the mass Fr Roland, the Provincial, in his sermon said that Jesus is the Light, Life and the Hope. He went on to elucidate that the Risen Lord has brought light for those who are in darkness and life to those who are away from the mainstream of society. To make the training program practical, all the participants discussed how to form a CLC group in their respective parishes. They put forth excellent suggestions, strategies and questions. Before supper all gathered in the hall for the 'Examination of Conscience' which was explained and conducted by Felix D`Silva, Director PAI, Raia.

The following day, we began with the Ignatian (imaginative) contemplation exercises on the scripture passage, “The Emmaus Experience.” The purpose of the meditation was to make the group discover how usefully 'the imagination' could be used in fostering a deeper relationship with Jesus. We experienced through this exercise how Jesus becomes alive when you listen to him and feel his closeness. The next day was spent in concrete planning, and answering a question that surfaced: “How to approach people in the parishes and motivate them to join the CLC Movement?” Joseph in his intervention suggested that parish priests could make general announcements for CLC formation in the parish and if people do not volunteer, then they could be approached

personally.

Joseph Fernandes, Joe Monteiro, Allwyn andKustas have formed a team for CLC revival in our Province. We ended the program with the Eucharistic celebration, wherein Allwyn shared his rich experience of how he had benefited from the CLC group especially regarding Ignatian Spirituality, while he was in France.

We thank all those who helped and supported us to organize this program, especially Hector for his inspirational talk and roping in benefactors to provide files, pens and other material. We are grateful to Fr. Provincial for his active presence and for celebrating mass for us and, for the financial support offered. We thank the Arrupe Jesuit Community for providing sumptuous meals, and making our stay comfortable; and finally we thank all the participants for their presence and their time.

I entered Portugal in the autumn, passed through the peak of winter and now I gradually see the buds bloom, the trees blossom and the birds sing—a sign of the dawning of spring; the most beautiful season of all. However, what has remained unchanged is the rule of the “state of emergency,” a strict lockdown and our classes being online due to the covid scene in Portugal.

In mid-March, we began our second semester; yet, the question that remains elusive is whether we will ever have offline classes this academic year.

rdWith our neighbours entering the 3 wave of Covid, it is hard to decide what the future holds.

rdPortugal's 3 wave in January was considered by the Oxford University study as one of the strongest in the world. This semester will end in summer, which would bring to an end one seasonal cycle of my presence in Portugal.

I moved into the Seminary of the Diocese of Aveiro in January. I live with two priests, the Rector of the Seminary and the Director of the Centre of Universal Faith and Culture (CUFC). The Aveiro University campus is built around the Seminary.

The months of January, February and March were relaxing as well as hectic for us. We began with a Mumbai darshan. We visited various tourist spots and the Bombay Province Jesuit communities and institutions.

In the month of February we had our annual play, “A Christmas Carol”, directed by Mr. Conan Pereira. During the practices we learnt the skills of acting and various other elements related to

drama. It was an amazing experience to perform on stage in front o f a n audience.

In the month of March we had a course on ' D o c u m e n t a r y F i l m - m a k i n g ' b y D r . ShaisonOeseph, organized by Xavier Institute of Communication at Lonavala. It was a wonderful experience where we actual ly shot four documentary films in three days. Soon after this we

thhad our prelims and ACET Exams on 15 March.

th stOn the 20 and 21 we visited some historical places in Vasai, the Bassein Fort, St. Michael's Church, Manikpur, the Jesuit community, Premanjali Counseling Centre, Rajiv Gandhi National Park, etc. We got a chance to learn about our Jesuit history and heritage and also an opportunity to interact with the parishioners and the youth. We are grateful to Fr. Aubrey, acting Dean, Fr. Robert, the minister and the Bombay Jesuits for making our exposure program possible despite the pandemic.

to the first year novices. In his address to the newly instituted A c o l y t e s , h e e x h o r t e d t h a t Christ must be the very heart of o u r l i v e s ! Furthermore, he briefed us on the responsibilities we now hold in the Church. The fi r s t y e a r companions felt o v e r w h e l m e d

and experienced an immense reverence for the Lord as they received these ministries. The second year novices, the XTC community along with Simon Fernandes and Reggie Britto, joined in the solemn Mass in praying for the first year brothers.

The Triduum during the Holy Week helped us to intensify our longing to spend time with Jesus in silence and prayer as we renewed and reinforced our yearning to follow our Lord under the banner of the Cross. The celebrants who graced our community with their presence and helped us come c loser to a t ta in a more profound understanding of this Holy week were Elwin for Maundy Thursday, Savio Barreto for Good Friday and Malcolm for the Easter Vigil Mass. Our hearts were filled with gratitude for the breaking of the Word of God and for creating the spiritual ambience necessary to gain from this.

In any family, the young ones are pampered the most. In our Jesuit family, we experienced this very much. We say so because of the brilliant planning of our holidays. We are truly grateful to Anil for taking such a bold decision in the midst of this pandemic. The support of the XTC community along with all the Jesuit communities of the Goa Province extended their warm hospitality, by showering their love upon us. We stayed at Loyola Hall Miramar, and visited the communities at Loyola Hall, Miramar; the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa; Jesuit House in Panjim; the Retreat House in Baga; XCHR in Porvorim; the Retreat Centre in Raia; St Britto's High School, Mapusa and Loyola High School, Margao, respectively. In addition, we visited numerous historical churches, monuments, and beaches, and enjoyed a cruise as well; spotting the dolphins thrilled us immensely. Moreover, we were fortunate to celebrate the birthday of St Francis Xavier at Bom Jesus Basilica. We cherished the companionship of our fellow brethren, the constant care of Cecil and Vijay who accompanied us and the love of many benefactors who provided for us.

We absolutely enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. We thank God for all of you and pray that you may have a time of grace and peace in your mission.

thOn 11 March, the Milagres women cell of Khanapur along with Kustas, the parish priest and Kripa Niwas sisters had organized a walking pilgrimage to the miraculous Cross at Nandgad.

We, 58 members in all, began our pilgrimage at 6.30 am, from Milagres Church after invoking the blessings of the Holy Spirit. It was really an enriching experience for all the pilgrims. As we

continued o u r journey, we recited the rosary and s a n g hymns. It w a s t h e fi r s t experience f o r m a n y

parishioners to climb the hill. The pilgrimage was a time to walk and pray for the entire suffering humanity during these pandemic times. It was a beautiful and memorable experience that each one carried with them. We reached the Nandgad cross at 9.30 am and it was time to refresh ourselves.

The Eucharist was celebrated by Kustas. After Mass we had a meditative Way of the Cross which was conducted by the sisters of Kripa Niwas. Each Station helped us to experience the suffering of Jesus leading up to his crucifixion and finally his resurrection. We are very grateful to those who contributed to our spiritual nourishment, providing us bodily refreshments as well and all those who assisted us along the way.

The Lenten youth retreat was organized at the deanery level in Khanapur Parish. This retreat was attended by 67 youth members from the neighboring parishes who came enthusiastically and participated wholeheartedly. The purpose of the retreat was to bring the youth together and provide them with a safe and comfortable environment to explore ways of praying together more effectively. This retreat was filled with sharing of personal God-experiences, songs and games.

The time spent at this retreat was very fruitful and enlightening. The youth also appreciated the organization by the 'Amazing Grace Mission Group' (AGM) from Goa. The retreat concluded with a delicious meal sponsored by the AGM Group.

The Diocese of Belgaum organized a Lenten Youth Program on 21st March at Nandgad and so on aquiet and cool Sunday morning, 27 youth from Khanapur Parish set out on a pilgrimage to the Miraculous Cross at Nandgad. The youth set the

tone for the pilgrimage by reciting the Rosary and singing hymns along the way. After about two and a half hours, they finally reached the Church premises and had breakfast. They met with the other youth members of the Diocese and proceeded prayerfully up the hill for the program. It was wonderful to see a large gathering of over 300 youth eager to participate in the program. The Youth Coordinator, Fr Harry along with some of our youth had a session of praise and worship in order to prepare them for what was to follow. Fr. Kiran SDB gave a talk to the youth on how to be good role models in society and live a value based life. He cited the examples of a number of young saints. The Stations of the Cross was then enacted by each parish. Each station was creatively portrayed by the youth on relevant themes affecting the youth and society today. The Bishop of Belgaum, Most Rev. Derek Fernandes, presided over the Eucharist. In his homily he encouraged the youth to be rooted and grounded in Christ. After the Eucharist, lunch was served for everyone. It was indeed a very fruitful, memorable and prayerful experience for the youth.

In the game of cricket, if a batsman hits a century, he rejoices with his teammates and fans; if he hits a double century there is greater joy and jubilation.

Each episode of “XimpiyêntlimMôtyam”is based on a story,a parable, an anecdote, or a life experience and conveys a message on a universal value. Just as cricket is a team game, so to Pratap has been working with the CCRTV team and crew members to achieve this feat.

During the Easter octave, Raul volunteered to assist the Grace parish in undertaking the blessing of houses in some of the wards. Raul and Jimmy were busy for a few days sandpapering and painting the table tennis tables which are in the gymnasium. Thesetables are 'iconic' in that they have seen hundreds of students playing before, during recess and after school over two decades and more. It was the 'hot spot' once the recess bell sounded. The common game was 'rounders' that

allowed many to take part at one time, besides lending sufficient exercise to the limbs over a short period of time. With the pandemic on and no students around, our two young Jesuits have decided to take up the sport as it affords safe physical distance.

The SSC Science Boardpracticals were held taking into consideration safety measures. Due to the restrictions, arrangements were made to fit in a number of batches; this created almost round-the-clock movement of students coming in for the exams and those leaving after completing. With physical exams for Std IX being cancelled the staff had to take the alternate route of uploading question papers for the online examination. The hardcopies of the answer sheets are being dropped in by the parents for assessment.

Due to the sudden surge of covid cases, the Higher Secondary Examination for Std XII have been postponed and so too the Std X Board Exams. The school was the centre for the HSS and with exams dates being unpredictable, the Board had to shift the papers back to Goa Board office.

The following wallpapers were displayed by the staff of the high school: “Dandi March” and “Building a Fairer and Healthier World.” The latter on the occasion of World Health Day.

The Ex-students Association (LESA) purchased and donated to the school: Bresser 6 “Dob Telescope'' from BRESSER – GERMANY. This will be of great help to the students as astronomy is included as an optional subject in the syllabus. A

number of students have under the guidance of Dr. S.M. Menezes been attending sessions conducted by AFA (Association of Friends of Astronomy). The telescope is surely a bonus for our students and the foresight of LESA needs to be commended. The Astronomy Club that was already in existence will now stand on a firmer foundation by roping in knowledgeable staff members to man the club.

The students of the Astronomy Club were provided with an array of sessions. To name a few:

“Discovering the Universe” included information on planets, stars, galaxies, The Big Bang theory and the Hubble Deep Field. “Teraforming” as an alternative habitat, the benefits and drawbacks were discussed. The session on “Asteroid Mining” enabled students to understand the resources t h a t a s t e r o i d s w e r e b o u n t i f u l i n . “ S k y Appreciation series: Reading the Sky/Reading the Clouds/Reading the Night Sky” enabled students to appreciate constellations and provided them an insight into Greek mythology. The session titled “The Geminids” provided training for observing the Geminids meteor shower.

A workshop titled “Earth Workshop 2021: Understanding our Home Planet”, gave students a taste of varied aspects of the environment and understood how astronomical aspects were intricately linked to our environment and everyday life. It also provided students insights into various career opportunities they could pursue. Seeing all that is being done, truly the telescope comes as a bonus. You can bet the club will grow in numbers. Star gazing is being taken to another level.

In 1597, on the same day that she went completely blind, a woman from Mallorca named Noguere was touched by the relics of Saint Ignatius. She reported that a scent of roses filled her with a sweet consolation. The acute pain in her eyes suddenly subsided. She began to see things faintly, and the next day she saw perfectly. This healing was one of the supporting miracles for the canonization of St. Ignatius Loyola.

This year, beginning on May 20 and continuing until July 31, 2022, the Society of Jesus worldwide, and the entire Ignatian family, celebrate St. Ignatius' spiritual journey from the 500th anniversary of his conversion in 1521 to his canonization in 1622.

On May 20, 1521, in a battle at the Spanish town of Pamplona, a cannon ball broke one leg of Iñigo López de Loyola, and wounded the other. With the incident, Iñigo had reached the bottom of what had been a rather shattered existence marred by loss and insatiable ambition. The man wounded in Pamplona was a 26-year-old orphan, who lost his parents at an early age. One of his brothers died in war. Another ventured to the Americas and never returned home. By the time of the battle of Pamplona, his new master and stepfather, Juan Velásquez de Cuéllar, the chief treasurer of the crown, who had introduced Iñigo to the court decorum and diplomacy, had lost his privileged position.

When confronted with a hopeless situation, Ignatius created greater intimacy with God.

Ignatius' conversion took place during his long recovery from his injuries, as he read about the lives of the saints, like Francis and Dominic. Ignatius' dreams transferred from heroic feats on the battlefield to heroically serving Christ. The bull of canonization on March 12, 1622, reported that Ignatius was called from worldly honors and earthly military service to a holy life that led to the founding of the Jesuit order and, ultimately, the consolation of souls worldwide.

While the general theme of this jubilee year is conversion, the underlying invitation related to this conversion is to “See everything new in Christ.” (2 Cor 5:17). To see “perfectly,” like Noguere, or to see everything new, like St. Paul, is to first acknowledge some form of blindness. Then, when touched by Ignatius' relics—which is to say, once inspired by his experience and spiritual tradition—we will be able to let God console us, and so embrace our present and future with renewed hope and faith.

Our world faces new challenges. Covid-19 alone has shattered our normal ways of life. We need faith to be able to see anew. The 34th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus in 1995 declared that “without faith, without the eye of love, the human world seems too evil for God to be good, for a good God to exist. But faith recognizes that God is acting, through Christ's love and the power of the Holy Spirit, to destroy the structures of sin which afflict the bodies and hearts of his children.”

The congregation was significant in part because it took place at a moment of self-examination for the Society. It was a moment in which, as Jesuits, as the congregation wrote, “we faced our limitations and weaknesses, our lights and shadows, our sinfulness.” Yet amid the brokenness of the world, the Jesuits, “also found much that was wise and good.” They were able to see everything new, and recommitted themselves to “follow this Christ, the Crucified and Risen Lord, in pilgrimage and labor.”

The conversion of Ignatius was not completed instantly, following his fall in Pamplona. This incident, however, set a new course for his life. It turned his life upside down and forced him into self-

examination. Out of this spiritual awakening, Ignatius had a burning desire for holiness and zeal to do great things for God, which ultimately led him to a lengthy process of self-surrender.

The appeal of this conversion today is that when confronted with a hopeless situation, Ignatius created greater intimacy with God. As he renewed his relationship with God, he was able to refocus his unsettled existence. Ignatius put God at the center of his life. He could look at the world not with fear, but with hope and the desire to set it on fire with the love of Christ.

This Ignatian Year is not limited to Ignatius' conversion but culminates with his canonization. As heirs of the Ignatian tradition, we are the guardians of Ignatius' spiritual “relics.” We remain indebted to the rich Ignatian tradition, which, though rooted in medieval Christianity, boldly embraced the modern world. The opportunities offered by the world of Ignatius' time shaped the Society of Jesus, which in turn helped transform the church and the way it reached out to the world.

Miracles are still a part of our spiritual practice. The miracle is to believe that for those, like Ignatius, who believe in God and trust in God's care and providence, there is no accident, no tragedy or failure that they cannot overcome. The bottom that Ignatius hit in 1521 became a stepping stone for greater adventures, self-realization and success. The church considered Ignatius' journey from 1521 to 1622 exemplary for others.

Celebrating a jubilee reinforces our hope that things can change for the better. The sick can be healed. Peace can be restored. The joy of the Gospel can blossom. The kings of Spain, France and Bavaria were able to put aside their bloody rivalries to push for the canonization of St. Ignatius. Like them, all Christians can help build a peaceful global community and create new networks of solidarity and friendship for the greater glory of God and the service of the poorest among us. To see all things new is to renew our commitment to Ignatius' original vision of spiritual depth, love and service of the church and society.
