    KS » July 2021» Vol 94 » No. 07 PROVINCIAL’S MUSINGS he Jesuits and human rights defenders all over are in grief at the brutal murder of the prophet of our times, Fr Stan Swamy. His death is the result of a systemic abuse Tof majoritarian authority and disregard for the rule of law. He is now a martyr and continues to evoke the consciences of people and we continue to sing in chorus the dirge of the caged bird by way of articles, stories, songs, poetry, candle light processions, memori- als, campaigns, etc. A question that stirs my inner being after Stan’s death is: where did this man get his energy from? As a human being he loved the Adivasis and the Dalits; as an Indian he loved the Indian Constitution and stood up for Constitutional and democratic values; as a Jesuit and a priest, he stood for gospel values and was captivated by the vision and mission of his Master, Jesus Christ. As a province, how can we continue the legacy of Stan? We need to become organic intel- lectuals like Stan wherever we are and whatever we do and never forget the Rights Based approach. Can we initiate reflective processes about human rights and its violations among different groups like our students, the youth, grass root workers, labourers, adivasis, Dalits and begin people’s movements. The second wave of Covid has waned down for the moment. I want to thank the Disaster Management Committee for the excellent coordination and relief work in reaching out to those in distress by way of food relief, medical relief and psychological support when the wave was at its peak.

We thank God for His perpetual accompaniment in getting good vocations in the past. Though the number is dwindling, we are proud of our young vocations. They are quality people with great sense of the Society of Jesus. We praise God for this gift. At the same time, we also find today’s youth getting deeply impacted by the values and culture of the modern world, a phenomenon that has adversely affected the vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life in particular. With the OUR LADY OF ASSUMPTION growing influence of globalization, including the breakdown Pray for our struggling India! of traditional family structures, the isolating effects of modern technology, and the individualism and self-centeredness at the heart of global culture, we are more than ever in need to be resourceful for effective vocation promotion and discernment. With utmost care, we need to choose them and take care of them so that they will form themselves stronger in the Society. Each senior member shoulders the responsibility of helping and supporting the younger ones to understand and analyse the push and pull factors in the vocation.
