On August the 15th, we have two important celebrationson the same day: Independence Day and the Assumption of our

Blessed Mother. These dual celebrations stir in us once again the

fundamental aspiration of every human heart.

Through the way of Ahimsa, the Mahatma, the Father of

our nation led the country to an experience of Freedom and

instilled in us the Spirit of Life and dignity. The Magnificat of

Mary articulates the same spirit of Freedom and life, in a deeper

way and affirms them from the perspective of God. Mary's

Magnificat is a song springing from the depths of human heart.

She dreams of a world of love and compassion. A world where the

hungry is fed and the needs of the poor and the despised are

satisfied. Of course, these dreams of Mahatma and Mary remain

unaccomplished, in so many ways to this very day.

One of the most poignant moments of the Pope's trip to Rio

for World Youth Day was seeing De Brito, a young lad, running to

the Pope mobile who brought Pope Francis to tears. The boy broke

past barriers to deliver an important message to the Pontiff. Your

Holiness, I want to be a priest, a representative of Christ. Pope

responded and moved to tears and embracing him, said: As of

today, your vocation is set! Mary's song and Gandhi's courage

continue to echo in the Human heart, and continue to stair in us the

sentiments of genuine hope, true love and a fantastic faith.Fr. Tomy Kanjirathinkal, C.P.

AUGUST 2013

WORLD YOUTH DAY, RIO 2013

The Passionist Gathering prior to the World Youth Day was a

celebration of 'unity in diversity', cherishing the Unity as Passionist and

enriching the diversity of different countries and culture. It took placeth th

from 18 to 20 July 2013, in a Passionist Center, at Sao Paulo. Brazilian

provincial was the chief program coordinator. About 65 Passionist

Religious, mostly young, gathered there representing around 18countries. Most of them shared their mission and ministry experiences in

different countries, especially their services to the youth and children.

Three days of sharing's and interactions were a great learning

experience, which widen our horizons of Passionist tradition and

Charism.

There was an opportunity for the group to directly interact with Fr.

Joachim Rego CP, Our General Superior and the council, in which lots of

doubts and fears of young Passionists were cleared, and hopeful

directions and plans were formulated. Father General was excellent If

humility is the hallmark of leadership, Father is a brand ambassador for

that and all those who participated in this Passionist gathering will vouch

for it. He was so much interested and involved.

All were pretty impressed with the growth and future of Passionists

in India and looking forward to have greater cooperation and

collaborations. Importantly, that platform has won for Fr Biju and Bro.Jerson a lot of Passionist friends and widended the umbrella of 'net

working'.
