My Vocation Story Part 3
in short nilibang ko yung sarili ko at kinalimutan ko muna yung pagkakaroon ng girlfriend hanggang…. hanggang naging Salesiano ako. I made my first profession April 1, 1987. I professsed for 3 yearsbut the intention is always to give my life forever to God! When I doned the cassock, I realized the tremendous responsibility of making this symbol of my being religious immaculate. Di ko na sinusuot ngayon ang original cassocks ko (obvious ba ang laki ko na ngayon no? hehe) but the meaning of it was impressed vividly on my mind. “Rather not I but Christ’s lives in me!” This was also our motto in our 1st profession and investiture. The cassock is not a magical outfit that gave me extraordinary powers! I realized that under this white robe a weak and fragile young man exists. Makasalanan pa rin, natutukso, nagkakamali… Masarap ang pakiramdam pag nakasutana pero mahirap pala alagaan ito. I have to struggle very hard to keep it as immaculate as posssible. In my stumblings and failures I realized that “God is faithful and merciful.” I made my perpetual vows knowing that in my weakness God is strong! That was May 24, 1995… At last I am a full pledge Salesian. Love life… I have found my True Love and nothing can take it away from me… yes… some crises came on my way… sa part 4 naman ang sharing nun! (bitin uli… hehehe)
