Beyond Bounderies

Beyond Boundaries

By: Themar

The characteristics of walls are protection, division, and defense. We may consider “The Great Wall” in China as the best example. A curious person has the tendency to learn new things, an adventurer in other words. Nothing stats from an easy thing! Knowledge cannot be gained by sitting and gazing from where we are. To go beyond our boundaries is to widen our perspectives, concepts, and ideas.

Let me share with you my journey towards unknown lands. On the 15^th of  December 2013, I departed from Myanmar to Macau. I had no idea how to go because it was my first time to fly alone and I am not familiar with Macau. Thank God! I arrived safely on the same day. Here comes a new environment, new faces, and new lifestyles. My first impression was the fraternal relationship that the community has. Sisters and candidates can freely make jokes and share their laughter. As I tried to adjust myself with the new community, I encountered many difficulties because I came with my narrow-minded that prevents my understanding of others. I also discovered many new things and challenges at the same time. Sometimes, shedding my tears without the knowledge of anyone. Despite all those peculiar sufferings, I challenged myself to go on. Gradually, I was able to cope up with my studies and gained friends at the same time. We did enjoy our learnings! We also shared moments of joy and pain, exchanged our cultures, sometimes there were disagreements though. To take it positively, our community in Macau was a wonderful one. We were composed of many nationalities: Viet Nam, Philippines, Myanmar, East-Timor, Hong Kong, Spain, Indonesia and India. It was a very challenging community, but with a positive result.

I am currently in the Philippines, journeying with my companions in the Novitiate. When I think back those years I’ve passed, I am proud of myself that I did it. Journeying alone will not give me any memorable moments because all the joy,  laughter and memories are composed of friends. Out of my own boundaries, I gained more knowledge which helps me to understand my own limitations. I won’t regret the path I have chosen because I trust in the person (Jesus) who has called me to follow him. There will be more challenges to come, but I have my sisters in the community to accompany me and share their fraternal love.

To be religious is to go beyond one’s own boundaries, to see the beauty of reality in another side of the fence. Learn from the uniqueness of others and grow by relating to others, it is difficult though. The formation is a time to know, to feel and to heal because knowing one’s own self is an essential aspect. We all are struggling to reach our goal. I learn to share, to love and to know others. In everything I do, may they be done for the glory of God.

Hau mai atu sira hetan moris no bele  hetan moris ba nafatin”( Jn 10:10)

Moris ne’e hanesan prezenti ida husi Nai Maromak. Ita simu gratis deit husi Nia. Ita la hili  atu moris oinsa, no atu moris iha mundo ne liu husi ema ida nebe los. 

Ita nia inan aman mak sai instrumento domin husi Nai Maromak nune’e ita bele koñese mundo ne’e ninia furak.

     Wainhira ita sei labarik ita nia inan aman hakiak, tau matan no hadomi ita to’o ita boot ona  ita iha ona hanoin no  bele ona decide ba ita nia moris rasik no hanoin oinsa atu ita bele hadia ita nia moris diak liu tan.

     Hanesan presenti ida husi Na’I Maromak, Ita presiza tau matan didiak, hadomi no fahe mos prezenti ida ne’e ho ema seluk. Wainhira ema ida fahe nia moris ho ema seluk, nia la lakon buat ida maibe nia sei manan tan sei ema ida fo nia an atu  ajuda ema seluk nia hetan ksolok no hetan sentido moris nian basá  bele hatudu nia an lolos ba ema seluk. Nia bele halo ema seluk haksolok.

     Msgr. Ramon Zubieta iha vokasaun atu sai Na’I Lulik wainhira nia sei kiik. Nia hakarak sai Dominicano no sai Missionário. Nia simu nia knar atu sai missionário iha Filipinas no iha Peru. Nia simu ninia kompromisu ho obediencia to’o nia mate. Obediencia mak guia nia atu hatan ba saida mak Maromak hakarak husi Nia. Nia dehan “Ida ne’e husi Maromak”,” Maromak hakarak ida ne’e” “saida deit mak Maromak hakarak.”Liafuan sira ne’e hatudu ninia obediencia atu sai missionário to’o hakotu nia I’is. (Foti husi Mons. Ramón Zubieta y Les ninia hanoin no hakerek sira, Unit 16, p. 96)

     Dala barak saida mak ita hakarak la’os Maromak nia hakarak maibe Ninia hakarak lori ksolok no paz ba ita nia moris.

   Wainhira atu hatan ba ita nia superior sira uluk nanain ita duvida se ida ne’e Maromak nia hakarak duni ka lae? Maibe ikus mai mosu realizasaun  katak ida ne’e los hela mesmu antes  ita hare hanesan la los.

Haksolok no hakmatek ida ne’e la’os mosu mai deit. Ita mos presiza haka’as an, tenki kumprende katak hau moris la’os ba hau an rasik deit maibe hau iha missaun atu tau matan mos ba ema seluk.

 Molok atu hetan ksolok ida ne’e mos mosu tauk, duvida, senti abandona, senti mesak maibe buat ruma boot no kapas liu ida ne’e mak hau bele descobre katak moris ne’e PREZENTI furak liu.  Atu moris lor-loron presiza aprende Arte atu moris liuliu aprende buat essential iha moris katak Moris ne’e sagrado no presiza apresia, tau matan atu nune’e bele fahe mos ba ema seluk atu ema seluk bele hetan moris diak liu tan.
