a new threshold...

hey friends in God and in love!...

I busied myself with my enrolment application to St Meinrad Seminary for the last three days now that my free hours which were supposed to be spent for my updates here in Gbex's site were all spent at filling-up application form, zerox-copying birth certificates, baptismal certificates, confirmation certificates and school certificates, diplomas, and transcripts of records...whoaaahhhhhh and writing down a five-page autobiography and i tell you- doing them had eaten up my freetime for my blog updates. So please bear with me and especially to my friend and soulmate Gbex who's just too patient and overbearing of my shortcomings.

So, what is it that i am trying to say here, huh?.. I guess I must tell you that this coming Fall semester (USA has a different timetable for its school semesters, it has Fall semester- four months from August 26 to December 20th; then schools have their what they call as January interim-from the 8th to 25th of Jan. and then comes the Spring semester that starts in January 29th to may 15th.) I will be leaving the portals of my monastery where I spent six years of my life to live in the Cloister of St Meinrad's community for another six years until I am able to finish the Priesthood Formation Program that I shall be hurdling to get myself ordained a priest. Such a long wait huh! But that is what my Abbot superior wants me to be: a good priest of my community who is to serve its members selflessly by officiating Mass everyday and delivering my homilies day in and day out!.

Well, by the time i become fullfledged ordained minister who has the faculty to witness a wedding ceremony, baptize infants and toodlers, hear confessions, and celebrate the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, and perform the rest of the sacraments, I will be 58 yrs old then!

I hope that this long wait will give me endurance and perseverance until the expected time!...

Wala lang, gusto ko lang sabihin sa inyung mga prends ko dyan sa labas na ipagdasal nyo naman ako....Mahirap ang mag aral na muli kung ang isang mag aaral ay hindi na bata na kasing bata ng isang nag sisimula sa college!....
