Dear Soter,
Thanks for remembering the famous .... "How would it benefit a man to gain the
whole world and lose his own
soul?" which when repeated by Ignatius of Loyolla gave us St.Francis Xavier
and many other Saints....
May we take time to Thank ALL Jesuits for ALL their work , activities,
education, discipline, guidance.
Hope those in power and have authority in Goa , find their SOUL to do what is
RIGHT, HELPFUL, BENEFICIAL to society...
Happy Feast
Mario
