PWIN OO LWIN 287 August 2012 -- After years of prayer, reflection and discernment, Bro. Mark Vun Khan Cin of the Vice- Province of Myanmar made his Final Commitment with great joy and fervor at Don Bosco Philosophate, Pyin Oo Lwin, on the 25th August, 2012.
Accompanied by his family members and surrounded by fellow Salesians and neighbouring religious, Bro. Mark made his perpetual profession before Fr. Maurice Vallance, Superior of the Vice-Province of Myanmar at 7: 00 a.m during the Eucharistic celebration. He took the gospel passage from St. John: “Consecrate them in the truth; your word is truth” (John 17:17) as his motto.
In fact, Bro. Mark Cin is doing his Theological Studies at Crocetta in Turin, Italy. Finishing the Second Year Theology, he came back to Myanmar to make his Perpetual Profession and to witness to the young his total love for Christ.
In his homily, Fr. Maurice Vallance said that in our day, there is a shortage of vocation to religious life in general. He asked the people “Is this because God stop calling?, or due to the lack of faith of the people?” “Obviously”, he said “God keeps calling as before. In fact, Bro. Mark started his novitiate with other seven candidates. But today, he alone persevered.” “Therefore,” Fr. Provincial explained that “we need light and strength from the Lord”, and he invited the people to accompany Bro. Mark with their fervent prayers.
After the Mass, Bro. Mark expressed some words of heartfelt thanks in which he thanked the Lord for calling him to the Salesian religious life. His heartfelt thanks also went to the Superiors and his fellow Salesians for their guidance and help in his vocational discernment and maturity. Finally, he thanked all those present at his profession ceremony and for accompanying him with their prayers.
Sweet and short evening entertainment and wishes were planned and organized at Don Bosco Philosophate Community by the same Philosophate Community in collaboration with the Novitiate Community as well.
