Two full days visitation....with a lot of time for the friars to meet and speak with me.....a lot of time for reflection and listening to one another.....we had time to pray together.....celebrate Eucharist together with the people.....it was a rich fraternal experience.....a beautiful environment around.....i was reminded of my two years in Goa as formator.....familiar places and people......
We visited some friends who invited us for a dinner....it was a pleasant evening ....Goan cuisine and evening gentle breeze on the seashore....
It is Italian coffee....here in Goa you get everything....I was missing my Italian expresso.....i got last evening.....
The friends and owners of this restaurant here in Goa....a well sought after ....
The friars in Shanti Niwas have a custom of wishing those who celebrate their birthdays....
The boy felt so good.....the blessings of the friars would mean a lot for this boy...
Throughout the day many people visit the friary either for confessions, counseling or blessing the religious articles.....they even come to bless their newly purchased vehicles....friars are available...
The friars and two pre-postulants.....
Andrew and Me.....revived our old friendship....after a long time we met.....
Nicolau was my student in 1993....in Goa.....
