When one is born, there is no awareness
if one has a talent and skill until the advance in age. A talent and skill is
something in born and it needs to be nurtured in a practical and authentic
manner. Some talents are inborn and others are out of practice which applies
the same to a skill. The art of talents and skills need to be practiced and
developed out of compassion and passion. It is supposed to be done in a
discipline and a consistence manner, in order to glow and shine. We can attend
better schools, have high scores in academics, and have all sorts of successful
options in life, but without our skills and talents, we cannot make a good
doctor, priest, nurse, teacher, student, architecture, pilot, just to mention
but a few.
Our talents and skills interconnect us
with real life experience and make us to serve our people in a good and
productive way. It makes us to explore more, advance and enhance our daily
lives to earn a living and bond our relationship to the people we serve in our
society and community. As Saint James said, faith without actions is dead. We
have to be practical in what we do, especially, the skills and talents God gave
us to better our lives and the life of others too.
In the context and set up of our
seminary, Lavigerie formation house Jinja, seminarians and formators have
different talents which are shared differently in diverse field. These gifts
are sources of joy, unity and pastoral weapon for evangelisation.
Our seminary
is entangled with people from different countries, exposed in a different
sector, in different ways. Within ourselves, we have those who have the skills
and talents of repairing and making shoes, making rosaries, repairing
computers, making a blog, art of drawing, dancing, composing articles and
poems, acting, playing football, basketball and volleyball, singing, playing
music, social workers, farming, designers, counseller, motivational and
inspirational speakers, just to mention
but a few. All these are expressed and even extended to our pastoral places
where we serve the people of God. This brings joy and happiness spearheading
the growth of our potentiality in our skills and talents. It is through coming
out of ourselves and making it practical that we can know our real self and the
hidden treasure within us. Forever glow Lavigerie house!!!!!!!!!!!!!
