We novices of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, accompanied by Father César Da Cruz José sss (Master of novices), took part in this great Inter-novitiate meeting, which had the theme “the place of the word of God in the novitiate.” Our joy was great since this was for the first time that we took part in an inter-novitiate gathering comprising 109 novices coming from 18 congregations (05 male and 13 female).

It was an occasion of discovery, meeting, conviviality and learning. We are delighted to have been present at this session that focused on the word of God, regarding which our holy Founder Father Peter-Julian Eymard used to say so well: a priest who spends his day without reading the word of God has wasted his day. Having learned and understood the importance of the word of God in our Eymardian life we are only grateful for all the benefits that this session has given us.
