Just as I was reading a message on goanet about a web-site of Bom Jesus I received another personal message informing me that just this morning there was a fire at the Jesuit residence block (traditionally known as "casa professa") of Bom Jesus. Such fires were common in the 16th and 17th centuries and had plagued Bom Jesus as well. One of the famous Jesuit chroniclers, Francisco de Sousa, who left a history of the Jesuits in Asia entitled "O Oriente Conquistado" died in one such fire at Bom Jesus residence in the late 17th century! I wish and pray that nothing ill has befallen our Jesuits and my dear old colleagues residing there today. Our konkani writer Fr. Moreno de Sousa is one of them. Teotonio R. de Souza
