Priest-formators of the Archdiocesan Seminaries, namely the Seminario Mayor de San Carlos, the San Carlos Seminary College, the Pope John XXIII Seminary (PJS), and the Spiritual Pastoral Formation Year House, gather at the Galilee Centrale of the PJS for the 3-day orientation-seminar on seminary formation.
The resource speaker of this event is Fr. Augusto Bautista Angeles of the Episcopal Commission on Seminaries.
Cebu Archbishop Jose S. Palma presides over the Holy Mass on the second day of the gathering.
In his homily, the good Archbishop exhorted the priests to instill in their hearts daily the intention and desire to love the Master so that, in turn, they may be able to invite those they journey with to do the same.
“It would be empty if, starting from us, we do not claim or we do not aspire to love the Lord who is the author of all of this. When we would have that daily intention, that desire to love the Lord, then I think the next thing we can ask, is to be able to love those He loves, and that means all. And that means we become formators whose hearts are like Jesus,” said Archbishop Palma.
