The series of talks, reflections, and conferences for this academic year by the Rector to the PCF resident-priests began tonight during the Holy Hour. As the Blessed Sacrament was exposed, the reflection given by the Rector dwelt on RTW, patterned after the life of St. Thomas Aquinas while he was at Napoli. Upon hearing RTW, one can have different things going on in mind. "Ready To War" or "Ready To Wear" clothes may be one of those things. Perhaps, one could never be wrong if these ideas were in his mind when Father Rector explained what does it mean by RTW because R stands for reading, T stands for teaching, and W stands for writing. St. Thomas Aquinas accomplished all these RTW. Because of his reading, he was always ready to do "war" against the heresies of his time. Because of his teaching, he has erased doubts of many people regarding the faith. Because of his writings, he has strengthened many when modernity tries to confuse the present. According to the Rector, these three RTW are the challenges of student-priests in Rome.
After the talk of Father Rector, some priests went to the generalate of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd to dine with the Sisters who, by this gesture, showed their gratitude to PCF priests for the service rendered to them by celebrating the Holy Mass daily.
