Don Bosco Premnivas, Mangalagiri, 18 December 2023: In a gathering aimed at spiritual reflection and renewal, members from both the Vijayawada and Guntur regions convened at the Sacred Heart Novitiate in Nambur on 18 December 2023 for their tri-monthly recollection. This event, deeply rooted in the Advent season’s contemplative spirit, offered attendees a chance for introspection and spiritual growth.
Led by Fr Dr. Sunder, SCJ, the recollection session began with an insightful talk that set the tone for the day’s spiritual journey. Participants were then guided through a time of Confession, providing an opportunity for personal reconciliation and peace. The gathering culminated in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, bringing together the community in worship and thanksgiving.
Fr Godugunuru Chinnappa, the coordinator of the region encompassing Ponnur, P.T Parru, Guntur, and Mangalagiri Salesian communities, expressed his gratitude to all who dedicated their time during this significant period of Advent. His words underscored the importance of such gatherings in enhancing the spiritual lives of the participants, offering a chance to retreat from daily responsibilities and reflect on their faith journey.
This tri-monthly recollection not only served as a moment for spiritual enhancement but also as an occasion for members of the neighbouring regions to connect and share in their faith experiences. The event’s timing, set against the backdrop of Advent, added a layer of anticipation and preparation for the coming Christmas season, reminding everyone of the importance of inner preparation and the value of community in spiritual growth.
