A series of reflections from the novices from Sacred Heart Novitiate in the Philippines, past and present, is now available as an e-book. Written during the two years of their novitiate formation, With the Greatest Love – a Collection of Novices’ Selected Reflections is an offering of the fruits of their prayer, spiritual conversations, personal reflections, and discernment in daily novitiate life.
The reflections in this volume were originally shared by the novices at Masses in communities, apostolates, retreat houses, and places such as the Philippine General Hospital. The reflections are written in Filipino and in English, and in a tone appropriate for whom they were preaching the Gospel.
The reflections are grouped according to the liturgical seasons of the Church, reflections delivered at Masses on Visiting Sundays, feast days of Jesuit saints and blessed, and celebrations honouring Mary, the Society’s Mother, and Joseph, the Society’s Patron.
The editors hope that the e-book will give readers “a taste of the depth, variety, and richness of the novitiate formation experiences, which facilitate the dynamic of wholeheartedly orienting every Jesuit novice to Christ and His mission”.
