Growing in Silence and Service: Aspirants Deepen Their Journey in Advent

Calbayog City – The Nazareth Formation House Aspirants continued their path of growth and community this November through two meaningful formation events led by Postulant Marlou Lintas.

On November 24, the Aspirants gathered for their Tuesday Calabrian Formation with the theme Community Life. In simple and heartfelt sharing, they were reminded that community is a gift from God where each member learns patience, respect, and brotherly love. Postulant Marlou encouraged them to see community life not only as a place to live but as a place to grow. He reminds that when we choose to understand and support one another, we become signs of God’s love.

This was followed by their monthly recollection on November 28–29, centered on the Advent season, a time of silence, hope, and waiting for the Lord. The Aspirants spent quiet moments in reflection, prayer, and spiritual renewal. Postulant Marlou guided them through the meaning of Advent as a season to prepare the heart—slowing down, listening to God, and allowing His light to enter their daily lives.

Both activities became moments of grace for the Aspirants as they continue their formation journey. With simple steps of faith, small acts of kindness, and time given to prayer, they are slowly shaping themselves into men of service, trust, and love—true sons of Divine Providence.
