Yes, today marks a new beginning for all of us: <span id="misp_compose_1" class="hm">Yi</span> Lin, <span id="misp_compose_2" class="hm">Bao</span> Nguyen, <span id="misp_compose_3" class="hm">Giang</span> Nguyen, Thanh-<span id="misp_compose_4" class="hm">Tai</span> Nguyen, and Joel Peterson. We stepped into a new life style which is filled with excitements, anxieties, joy, nervousness, uncertainties, and challenges. And yet, we bravely jumped into the river of life. We carry with us a burning missionary zeal. Hopefully, we can confidently dive into the sea that lies ahead.<br /><br />The Divine Word missionaries (community) at <span id="misp_compose_5" class="hm">Techny</span>, IL officially welcomed us to the Novitiate this evening during a simple, yet solemn ceremony. We are now part of the <span id="misp_compose_6" class="hm">SVD</span> family. Fr. Walter , the rector at <span id="misp_compose_7" class="hm">Techny</span>, presided beautifully and Fr. Jim <span id="misp_compose_8" class="hm">Bergin</span>, our novice master, delivered a wonderful homily. The Scripture reading for the admission into Divine Word Novitiate was taken from Philippians 3: 7-14.<br /><br />We received the Constitution of the Society of the Divine Word, a Bible, and a medal of St. Arnold <span id="misp_compose_9" class="hm">Janssen</span> and St. Joseph <span id="misp_compose_10" class="hm">Freinademetz</span> on it. These simple gifts are the tools that will help us to be equipped and ready for this new journey.<br /><br />We are humbled to be invited to join the <span id="misp_compose_11" class="hm">SVD</span> in discovering and imitating the Divine Word. To gain Christ is our goal and greatest treasure.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33314925-115648226835718107?l=svdnovices.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SVD Novices - Chicago Provincehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03450152507959860315noreply@blogger.com0
