Pushpashrama - LECTIO BREVIS 2018-19
‘Inheritance of wisdom is the inheritance of honor’
Pushpashrama Institute of Philosophy and Religion being one of the
springs that quenches the thirst of those who seek wisdom, organized the
Lectio Brevis 2018-19 on the first of June. The Holy mass was held at
9:00 am to grace this event. Fr. Pius James D’ Souza, the Vice
Provincial of the KG Province celebrated the holy mass along with the
company of several Carmelite priests from the neighboring communities.
Fr. Pius preached a very meaningful homily and counseled the students to
love and follow Lady Wisdom ‘Sophia’ and not Lady Folly. Brothers with
their smooth voices filled the Shrine with wonderful church music.
Photographs of respective batches along with the Community fathers were
taken. The official stage function followed the Holy mass, wherein Dr.
Ivan D’Souza, a diocesan priest from Mangalore was the keynote speaker.
The Rector of Pushpashrama, Fr. Lawrence welcomed the gathering and led
the guests of honor to light the lamp, thus officially inaugurating the
academic year 2018-19. A total of 34 students were welcomed to the
institute by Fr. Pius James who also spoke few words of wisdom. Dr. Ivan
presented his doctoral thesis, ‘Parama Mukhya Vritti (Super primary
meaning)’ which was gladly received by all who were present there. Fr.
Pradeep presented the report of the previous academic year. Art, poetry
and literature flowed out when the compilation of literary and artistic
talents of brothers were officially inaugurated through Cosmos – the
annual magazine of Pushpashrama. A PowerPoint presentation displayed the
activities which took place in the Institute the previous year. After
this followed dance, humour and songs which exhibited what the students
of Pushpashrama were capable of. The function was brought to an end
singing the anthem of the Institute after which followed a sumptuous and
fraternal meal.
