On 11th October, all the fathers of the Indian Delegation came together in Trichy for the third session with Rev.Dr.Sebastin, under the topic of “Wounded Healer.” He insisted that the leader should read the moving of the Spirit within oneself and others. Unfamilarity with Spirit will distance from oneself and others. It is the wounds that reveal God’s identity. We need to heal our wounds and that of others. For it, we need to be in touch with one’s own suffering, i.e., the ability to articulate the suffering, becoming man of compassion and be a mystic who is revolutionary and able to identify one’s wounds and others. Then, he narrated the possible wounds a minister can have and ways to heal them. Last week also was marked by the celebrations of Founder’s Solemnity in our various communities in India. On 8th October, on the eve of the Solemnity, in our formation house in Madurai, the Solemn Eucharist was celebrated, having the religious priests, sisters and brothers from neigbouring communities and Professors and lay friends as invitees.
