My name is Father Paulino Rodríguez MSC. Since 2005 I'm responsible for
the formation of the young men who are preparing themselves in the Seminary "Our
Lady of the Sacred Heart" Lima / Peru to serve the Lord and his Church as
Missioneries of the Sacred Heart. Actually we have 15 seminarians in the
different moments of formation and study (Philosophy and Theology).
Additionally there are 5 young men preparing themselves at the Aspirantado in
Trujillo (northern Peru) to enter next year our seminary.
They
are happy and show much enthusiasm to live religious life. They want
to follow the call of the Lord in order to continue his work. We are very
happy too because our people need direly priests and religious for the new
evangelisation. We, the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, present our
invitation to many youngsters, to follow this way of Christ. It is worth it
to live this adventure. Now, as you know, priests and religious men aren't
something that pertains to the past. We ourselves can give witness that is is
wonderful to follow Christi. We live happily our mission and share our lives
with all people.
We
ask you to pray for aus so that the Sacred Heart may awake in many heart the
desire and the decision to follow him as Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.
Now I would like to direct you attention to another aspect: The formation and
the academic education of the seminarians has its necessary finantial
requirements. Man lives from bread too and needs many other things. Every
seminarian requieres the expenditure of 350.- Dollars a month. During
the past many benefactors from Germany have helped us. But this has diminished
very much. In Peru we organize several activities in order to get help.
We present you a very special organisation "Corazón Misionero" that is helping us very much.
Please contact them. There are benefectors in Peru too, the seminarians help and their families -many live in poverty- help with money and victuals.
We thank you heartilly if you decide to help us regarding the formation and
academic education of future priests. Please help us, it is worth it. The
Lord will bless you hundertfold and we will remember you forever in our
prayers.
P. Paulino Rodríguez Vásquez MSC
Rector of the Seminary
