His name is Father Adam (hmmm I
think I just have to ask for his permission to put his full name which up to
this writing I have not asked yet). He
is a Spiritan pritest. Actually, it
was the first time that I heard of his
Catholic Congregation – Spiritan. It was
named after the Holy Spirit – the third person in the Blessed Trinity (as
stated in the Catholic Doctrine.
Why am I writing about
him? I really find him standing “tall”
and different among us aside from the fact that he is a foreigner. I got to know him from two of my classes in
my post graduate studies. He gives
straightforward answers to the questions of the professor. He told the class also that he is assigned at
a very far barangay from where majority of the people that live there are
Muslims. He stated further that he had
to walk many kilometres in order to reach the place. And in one of those candid moments, he asked
(from where I thought at first that he was joking) “who among the Catholic
priest have done what I did…that was to build 3 mosques for the Muslims” (in
his mission area) and just laughed and
laughed.
He is really candid …and
spontaneous (the same meaning ha hehe)… One
time he just stated outright in class that nobody would like him since he is
very outspoken and I guess he pointed to the two of us also that sat beside him
(hmmm I thought ..talaga si father dinamay ako wheheheh).
Yup…who would ever like someone
so outspoken nowadays. From experience,
the most outspoken would serve as representative of the group to speak up on
their behalf or will end up being disliked by the management in the workplace
for distorting stability and so called “peace” and balance (some kind of a
pseudo balance). But these are people
are not afraid to speak about the truth.
In fact a lot of them die early (sssshhhh) just like Jesus (hahhahahah i feel that i have gone very far...what do you think? hehehhehe).
Jesus was so disliked during
his time. Yet he was so free that nobody
could even inflict fear on him. Even
death was never hindrance for him to speak up.
When I heard of Fr. Adam in our class, I thought I have seen Jesus so
alive in him. He was such a free soul
inside that priest body. He was so
childlike and so playful. Even the truth
that he blurted from time to time was so swift and crisp that a lot of us in class fell so silent. Hmmm and at my end, I was left
pondering. Could Jesus be like this man? (hahah or the other way around). I just felt something so different about
him. That is his lack of fear to speak
up about the truth.
I don't really know much
about his background. All I know is that
…I have seen Christ in him…in the person of Fr. Adam.
PS…hhhmmm there is one thing
that you should know…ohhh he hates Math so much ….howdy hahahhahahah…hmmm but I
find him soooooooo smartJ…a
“head turner” in class…at that…J
May God bless his mission and his congregationJ
