It is my second time to come over to Kerala, India and yet it feels like I am starting the mission all over again. Having left the United States after being busy with parish missions, retreats and pro-active initiatives in our Marian Friary in New Bedford, I found myself boarding a plane bound for Trivandrum, Kerala, India.
This southern part of India, though the inhabitants are mostly Christians in comparison with other Indian cities, still bears the mark of a uniquely ethnic Indians: food, clothing, customs, weather. It certainly demanded a “three hundred sixty degrees” of cultural adjustment from the point of view of where I came from.
