DIOCESAN PRIESTS Retreat
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.” (Lk. 4:18)
It was the 23rd of October, when 14 priests of the Baroda diocese gathered at Saputara to have a mountain experience like Moses at the burning bush. The main thrust of the retreat was “Holistic health for becoming whole”. Rev. Fr. Joel D’ Cunha, the preacher, a person of wide knowledge and vast experience, was very impressive in his talks and expressive in ideas. Some of the topics he dealt with at depth were: The Abba Father, Vision, Mission and Hidden Life of Jesus, Sin, Discernment, Priesthood, Spirituality, The Holy Eucharist, Commitment and Vocation. The themes chosen were very relevant for mission dioceses like ours. The spirit of the Lord touched and inspired everyone during the retreat. May this same spirit invigorate all the priests to carry out the mission of our Lord who says “Go into the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.” (Mk. 16:15).
