On August 3, 2024, at 5:15 pm, Deacon Jitendis Sohshang SDB led the Monthly Recollection for the Pre-Novices at Bosco Home Herma Pre-Novitiate, Tripura. The session began with a poignant story about a boy and a tree, where the boy consistently takes from the tree without giving anything back. This narrative served as a powerful metaphor for the dynamics of receiving and giving in our lives. Deacon Sohshang used the story to reflect on how we often receive numerous blessings and support from others, yet may not always reciprocate. His talk emphasized the importance of recognizing and appreciating these acts of generosity, and the need for a balanced exchange in relationships. Deacon Sohshang encouraged the pre-novices to cultivate a spirit of gratitude and reciprocity, reflecting on their own lives and relationships. The session was both thought-provoking and inspiring, prompting the attendees to consider their roles in giving back to those who support and nurture them. The recollection concluded with a period of silent reflection, allowing participants to internalize the message and its implications for their spiritual and personal growth.
