 The day started as no other. It was at five in the morning when the doors of the rooms started clicking. It was an unusual event, since for a long time it had not taken place at that time. It however reminded us that we had visitors in our community, and actually not visitors but our young brothers. The previous day the novices had arrived for the inter-seminary meeting, which was to be held at the Consolata seminary. The novices were going to live with us in the three days in which the inter-seminary was going to be taking place.
(The inter-seminary, the event which sees the different houses of formation in Kenya meeting for some days for socialization, had another two day).
At seven all of us were out, for as it had been planned, the departure to Consolata was to be at seven, since the Mass was to be at half past seven. With the commitment of the community drivers at work, we were at Consolata at the right time. The Mass for opening the inter-seminary was celebrated by the vice-regional superior assisted by the rectors of the philosophicum and the theologicum, and the priests residing at the seminary. In his homily, Fr. Kwajaba insisted on the fact that prayer is a crucial aspect in our lives, not only in this period of lent but actually all our lives. He emphasized the development of the spirit of prayer than just saying prayers.
