[Goanet] SAYING “GOOD-BYE!” FOR NOW!!! by Fr. Cedric Prakash sj

[Robin Viegas]

From: b sabha 


From: PRASHANT Communication 
>




SAYING “GOOD-BYE!” FOR NOW!!!

-Fr. Cedric Prakash sj*



Today, January 17th 2016 - is being observed as the ‘World Day of Migrants and 
Refugees’ - it’s an appropriate day, I feel, to share with you a NEW CHAPTER in 
my life!



I am really not sure where to begin! What I want to share - has many different 
dimensions; it’s like a multi-coloured tapestry - delicately but exquisitely 
inter-woven into a unique design! The creativity and the dexterity involved can 
be appreciated and understood - only by those who can watch it’s unfolding from 
a distance! Somehow, I feel myself in that situation: looking into, about to 
leap into something I did not even think was possible - some months ago!



Fr. Pedro Arrupe is for me and for several of my brother Jesuits and others one 
of the great Saints of the post-Vatican II period. He was the Superior General 
of the Society of Jesus from 1965, a time when the Church and the world at 
large was going through a historical transformation.  I joined the novitiate in 
Ahmedabad, Gujarat in 1974. About a year later, in December 1975, Fr. Pedro 
Arrupe presided over the 32nd General Congregation which left a deep impression 
on the universal Society of Jesus which mandated every Jesuit to the service of 
faith and the promotion of justice. This thrust became the defining direction 
for Jesuits all over the world.



In keeping with the vision he had for a world which is inclusive and 
all-embracing which had faith-justice as its cornerstone, Fr. Arrupe launched 
in November 1980 the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) 
(www.jrs.net) ‘with the mission to accompany, serve and 
advocate on behalf of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons’. Ever 
since the JRS has been responding to the cries of millions of people all over 
the world!

[http://en.jrs.net/images_base/sidebar_map.jpg]

Jesuit Refugee Service | Home
www.jrs.net
Jesuit Refugee Service is an international NGO which serves, accompanies and 
advocates on behalf of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons.





One of the first Jesuits to work with the JRS from India was Fr. Pierre Ceyrac, 
someone who has been a great inspiration in my life. He worked in Bangkok, 
Cambodia and other parts of South-East Asia; Fr. Jose Changanacherry (on 
demitting office as the Provincial of Gujarat) also went to work with JRS in 
Africa.  Fr. Varkey Parekkatt (who was also the Provincial of South Asia) also 
had a stint with JRS in Nepal; listening to their moving testimonies and the 
fact that Fr. Arrupe has always been my hero, I always dreamt that I would one 
day at least “spend a little time with JRS”.



It came rather suddenly and spontaneously, in November 2014.  In a conversation 
with Fr. Stanny Fernandes, the Director of JRS, South Asia expressed this 
desire. A young Jesuit Priest Fr. Prem Kumar had been abducted by some Taliban 
outfit in Afghanistan and all efforts were being made to secure his release. My 
thoughts at that time was to serve for a couple of weeks or a month in 
Afghanistan, Nepal or elsewhere. Little did I realise that in a skype 
conversation later that evening with my friend Fr. Peter Balleis (the Director 
of JRS International) that Fr. Stanny would tell him of this desire.  There 
were immediate communications from Fr. Peter literally asking as to when I 
would be ready to join the JRS; well, my response at that time was “it’s only 
for a short time and we will see”.



Early in April, I made my annual Spiritual Exercises (retreat) in the Jesuit 
residence of Gandhinagar. It was a troubling retreat with my thoughts 
constantly going back to the JRS. On Good Friday, there was this urge as never 
before to say “yes” and on Holy Saturday, I wrote to Fr. Peter Balleis that I 
think I hear the Lord calling me to serve in JRS.  Peter’s immediate response 
was “come immediately. We are waiting for you”.



In May 2015, I had to go to Rome to speak at the Caritas Internationalis 
Assembly. I had some prolonged meetings with Fr. Peter and some others 
concerned there. They were certainly keen on me joining JRS as soon as possible 
and offered me some possibilities; the topmost, one being to work in the Middle 
East. I agreed to going to Beirut for a few days in July to see things for 
myself. My visit there was extremely positive but after the stay, I still felt 
that I needed more time to reflect and pray over things.



On my return to India I went through a long but difficult process of Ignatian 
discernment.  During this process of discernment, I must have put down at least 
a hundred reasons why I should continue to be where I am and particularly in 
Gujarat. On the other side, there seemed to be just one voice saying to me to 
“let go” and to “let God”.



In the early hours of 

[Goanet] MADD TREE IS OUR SAVIOUR

[Stephen Dias]

-

MAD PEOPLE SPOKE BAD ON " MADD TREE" ?



The Coconut Tree was always known as TREE by all our generation in Goa.
Surprisingly some intelligent crooks decided to call a PALM or TALL GRASS.
This gives a blow to our TREE who cannot speak. Poor TREE has to suffer due
to useless talk by so called idiots. Botanically it does not give any
respect for our TREE but who knows one day botanically many things will put
them down who are doing for the ulterior motives. GOD only knows what this
cheats upto misleading people of Goa.

I must say that MAD PEOPLE SPEAKS BAD ON OUR DEAR "MADD TREE"  AND  SOON
WILL KNOW THE RESULT ON 2017 ELECTION WHICH WILL MAKE THEM TO SLEEP AT HOME.

[Goanet] In The Year Of The Monkey

[Joao Barros-Pereira]

In the Year of the Monkey


If the coconut tree isn't a tree but is something else - whatever it might
be - the question we need to put to the government is this: how does the
government hope to protect the so-called coconut tree from people who will
unnecessarily cut them down?


The change is to help people to solve their border disputes quickly, and so
on, but what about others who can now cut so-called coconut trees for no
reason at all? Is this good for the environment?


When will the government pass appropriate legislation to protect the
so-called coconut tree? After all the builders have cut all the so-called
coconut trees? Will they allow conversion to take place or as they say no
conversion is necessary to build in eco-fragile zones?


Will the government pass plans as they did while the Regional Plan is
waiting to be finalized? Please think about this issue, too much heat and
not enough light is not good for Goa or Goans.


And now, monkeys! Monkeys are no longer monkeys, they are vermin! All the
government needs to do is wave its magic wand and monkeys seize to be
monkeys and coconut trees cease to be coconut trees. That's how brilliant
our government is!


Coconut trees, especially for Indian coastal cultures are iconic to our
history, livelihood and lifestyle. Also monkeys who feature in our
folklore. For millennia monkeys have been a part of our cultural heritage.
Which child hasn't heard the Jataka tales?


If tomorrow an army of monkeys invade smart city Panaji with or without the
leadership of Hanuman what will the smart people of Panaji do? Will they
think it is a good omen? Will they think the not-so-smart people from all
over Goa have invaded the natural habitat of the monkey and now the monkey
is making a monkey of Panaji people?


I don't know. But in this Year of the Monkey, let's not monkey with them!
