– Alexander flaming
I fled Him down the nights and
down the days
I fled Him down the Arches
of the Years
I fled Him down the labyrinthine
ways…
From those strong feet that followed,
followed after…
Deliberate speed majestic instancy…
Naked I wait they love’s uplifted stroke
Rise, clasp my hand
and come
Ah, Fondest, Blindest,
Weakest,
I am He
whom thon Seekest
- Francis Thompson
I fled Him down the nights and down
the days
I fled Him down the Arches of the
Years
I fled Him down the labyrinthine
ways…
From those strong feet that followed,
followed after…
Deliberate speed majestic instancy…
Naked I wait they love’s uplifted stroke
Lo, all things flee thee, for thou fliest
me…
Rise, clasp my hand
and come
Ah, Fondest, Blindest,
Weakest,
I am He
whom thon Seekest
“Don’t ask me to leave you!
Let me go with you!
Whenever you go, I will go;
Whenever you live, I will live
Your people will be my people,
And your God will be my God”
Wherever you die, I will die
Ruth – 1 : 16 & 17
“Your people will be
my people
The poor, neglected,
marginalized and the
differently able”
Your God will be my God
A God who has called me and
entrusted me with a mission
So he asked the twelve
disciples, “And you-
would you also like to
leave?”
Simon Peter answered
him, “Lord, to whom
would we go? You have
the words that give
eternal life.”
John – 6 : 67 & 68

Actions speak louder than words
You believe in ‘doing’ rather than ‘talking’
Your integrity and wisdom
Are the hallmarks of your ascetic life.
The poor and the marginalized are
sacraments to you
For you they are great and wonderful
You are ready to enter even hell
For a heavenly cause with the poor
“Blessed are the poor in sprit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” -Mat: 5/3
You are a great ‘Drona’ who has
Inspired numerous ‘children’ by
your example.
May there be many more of your
generation amongst us
As you move beyond the Diamond,
We envey your example
and Heights achieved by you!
Challenging us to love, especially
the poor.

Your life has been coloured by the dictum
‘Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile’
Always melting out as a candle
And dying out for others as our Master did
show us
Looking always at the brighter side of life -
Never say die, never say ‘nay’ is your principle
No corruption or any compromise
Even when confronted with doubts and
tribulations
“Blessed are the peace makers for they will be called
sons of God” – Mat: 5/9
You are a model to be emulated by us all
Teaching by words and examples in perfection
so high
You defy the negative gravitational forces of
division and destruction
If we are to rise above the small and the base…
You have fought the evils amongst us
With the ‘peace’ that the Lord has come to
bestow
Lead us on, so that we too can harvest that
peace
The Lord has left amidst us in abundance. John: 14/27
“O Lord, I will always sing of your constant love." Ps.89/1.

“Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy” Mat: 5/7
Simplicity is your Garment that clothed you long
‘Giving up to go up’ and seeking His will in all things
With purity of mind and heart your ornaments.
The poor are your friends and pride
Always bending towards the least, like
the Master
Addicted to His word, you love His Cross
Following the footsteps of Montfort our
Father.
As you move on to the Diamond,
Teach us the art of winning His forgiveness
By being merciful unto the ‘small and great’.
“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want” (Ps23:1)
“You will receive more, when
you give
More than what you receive”
is your firm belief.
For you, Mercy begets Mercy
And kindness multiplies the
bread of life

Blessed are you Bro. Jacob in untold ways.
Down the long path of life as a ‘blessed’
You have shared His wisdom and love
With the least and the little ones
As a scholar and guide for decades and more…
You revealed His face of authority & service
To the entire Brothers of the Institute as a servant.
“Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God” – Mat: 5/8
When eyes have not seen and ears not heard of
His glories,
You have seen Him and touched Him!
Through your heart so pure and unique
Undivided, free and available
‘Becoming all things for all men’
Transcendence of self in love.
Continue to reflect Him dear Brother,
Like a mirror as you walk along,
Creating rainbows of life through your heart
So that we the blind too can see and hear Him.
“What no one ever saw or heard,
What no one ever thought could happen,
Is the very thing God prepared for those who love him” 1 Cor: 2/9

“He prays best who loves all things
Both small and great”
Like Theresa the meek Mother,
You don’t believe in ‘great things’
But have proved the secret of
greatness
By doing ‘little things’ in humility
and obedience
“Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth” Mat: 5/5
You have walked a beautiful road
Filled with joys and sorrows, failures and success.
Like a prophet you defy the physics principles
To predict the death of stars and the collapse of the universe,
Only to warn us to be on our feet
To receive the Lord of the just
Who will come in glory with His Angels and Saints
Keep walking with Him and our Mother in faith
"I am the vine and you are the branches.
Who ever remains in me and I in Him,
will bear much fruit;
for you can do nothing without me". (John15:5)

“Here is a man who does not grieve
For the things which he has not
But rejoices for those which he has”
You believe in yourself and your principles
But ever trusting in the Lord and His mercies
You have achieved much in life
By sheer hard work and resilience
Always finding satisfaction in the mission
entrusted you.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness
For they will be filled” Mat: 5/6
A strict disciplinarian
With all your love and passion hidden
within
Your hunger and thirst for
righteousness
Has made you distinct and unique
Pray that you move forward with
strength and determination
To reach the summit of beatific vision
Walking and climbing the less
travelled paths.
"Leave the world a little better than you found it“

“You are the salt of the earth,
But if the salt loses its saltiness,…
It is no longer good for anything” Mat: 5/13
“A wise man will make more
opportunities than he finds”
Dear Brother, you live by these words
of Bacon
You have put your hands on everything
possible!
Always trying to learn something new
and different.
A man with a whole lot of qualities and potential
You dare to venture even into the impossible
realms
Moving from Machines and tools,
You have taken on to the academics
As your new field of mission.
May you continue to be the salt
Without losing its saltiness
To sustain and add flavor to our lives
As you move on from the silvery mountains
To the Golden peaks of your mission
achievements.
“In everything do to others as you would have them do to you”. – Mt. 7:12

servants,…” Mat: 25/21.
