Mengapa saya menjadi Jesuit?

Sebuah pengalaman dari Celso Romanin yang telah 50 tahun berada dalam Serikat Jesus

Why am I a Jesuit?

Had we been better off and my parents more money, I would have been able to study Italian as a teenager (most of my friends were Italian and all I could speak was our home language, Fiulano) and I would have been able to go to trade school and become a carpenter. Neither were possible. So my drean to marry a lovely Italian girl, have many children and work with my beloved timber had to be revised.

And so I was led to seek something more.

In my last year of school I began to look seriously at Priesthood. We lived next door to the Capuchins who promised overseas trips and other perks were I to join them. We belonged to a Jesuit parish, I went to a Jesuit College and had a brother a Jesuit. What I saw was a companionship among Jesuits that I couldn't see in others. I decided it was worth a try.

I have since discovered a good companionship which carried me through tough times, for which I am truly grateful. I have been deeply challenged and fulfilled, especially through Vatican II and my times with JRS (Jesuit Refugee Services). It has helped to frame my work in parishes to focus on a Faith that seeks Justice.

I also find great consolation in the Vision of Ignatius at La Storta, and feel somewhat privileged to be there as well, called to companionship with Our Lord.

Awal Perjalanan

19 November 2009

Tim Promosi Panggilan Serikat Jesus Provinsi Indonesia memulai sebuah langkah baru. Kami memasuki dunia maya dengan sebuah harapan:

membentangkan jangkauan untuk merengkuh para pemuda yang tergerak untuk bekerja bagi Kristus di bawah Panji Salib-Nya.

"Tiap Jesuit adalah promotor panggilan dalam hidupnya, sebagai pribadi dan lebih-lebih sebagai komunitas. Bentuk hidup berkomunitas itu sendiri sudah harus merupakan tanda agar menarik orang untuk bertanya, ada apa yang khusus dalam cara hidup kita itu. Hidup komunitas itu sendiri bukan hanya 'sarana untuk tugas perutusan kita', tetapi sudah merupakan 'pelaksanaan tugas perutusan' kita sebagai Jesuit di jaman sekarang. Hidup kita masing-masing harus dibangun sedemikian rupa sehingga menjadi bentuk dari promosi panggilan itu."
