Those were the words that greeted me when one of my professors came out from the classroom after deliberating together for about 5 minutes on my lectio that Friday afternoon. They were words of great consolation after a gruelling hour and a half of presentation which was followed by some questionings later by three professors who were assessing me.
With that, I officially completed my entire Spirituality course (2 years in all) at the Pontifical University of St Thomas of Aquinas (also more commonly known as the Angelicum). It had been quite a journey and now this had ended and thankfully, it ended on a bright note!
Now I am free from all forms of studies (at least till I get back to S'pore) and savouring the mood that comes after finishing the exams. The whole body and mind now just seem to wind down a lot after the past weeks of adrenaline and stress-filled activity, that I feel exhausted, both mentally and physically.
However, it wasn't all that bad as I could still stay a little up-and-about during this night, earlier, to do some packing of my stuff which I am sending back by airfreight later. In the midst of it all, the feeling of satisfaction after finishing something as important as a licentiate studies like this, continues to pervade my senses. I thank you all for your prayers, support and encouragement during this while and my sojourn here in Rome. And I also know that I really, really would not be able to accomplish all this if not, in the final analysis, for the very grace of God...

No fans here in Rome to greet Fr Val. Just us wretched poor priest-students stayng alive through our studies till we get to go back (like myself) :-D
welcome home frAl. Hope the sweltering heat doesn't make you wish you were back in Rome. Congrats on coming through your your course.
