The penultimate module of the 29th Sumedha
Sadhana was “Re-Reading Consecrated Life” in the 7th and 8th
weeks of the programme.
It was facilitated by Dr. Varghese Kalluvachel SDB. Dr.
Kalluvachel, a Salesian of Don Bosco from the Province of Kolkatas, has a doctoral degree in Religious Life from
the Claretian Institute of Consecrated Life at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome and another in Philosophy from the Pontifical
Salesian University in Rome. He is currently professor of Consecrated Life
at the Salesian University.
This module on “Re-Reading Consecrated life” was
introduced for the first time this year as part of Sumedha Sadhana to honour the Year of Consecrated Life - 2015.
Kalluvachel’s presentation of the history of the evangelical
vows and of community life was found especiaslly useful by the participants. They
found it a very relevant contribution towards deepening their psychospiritual integration.
It led to a deeper understanding of religious life and provided inspiration and motivation to
live it more meaningfully.
The last module of the Sumedha Sadhana programme – Spiritual Retreat-
commenced on 25th July. This Sumedha Sadhana programme concludes on August 2. It is facilitated by Dr. Jose Parappully, the Director of Sumedha Centre.
The next Sumedha Sadhana (SS-30), the last for this year,
commences on October 2 and concludes on December 3.
