Visit to Sg Pertang 到新邦葫芦顶



On April 15, Wednesday, my wife and I, with 4 other legionaries, went to Simpang Pertang farm to visit Fr. Naden and also as an outdoor trip for the four of them.

My Legion group, which is called a Praesidium (Latin rooted word), consists of 10 members. The Praesdium is called Morning Star Praesidium, one of the titles uses to honour our Blessed Mother Mary.

We have our weekly meeting on Thursday. During the meeting, we recite prayer, report our works of the week and be given new assignment for the coming week.

Members are assigned to visit homes of the sicked and aged, hospitals and nursing homes as well as the poor and wretched.

It was a first time visit for four legionaries to such a remote places.

The new leaves of rubber trees signaled the breeding season of mosquitoes which attacked us in swamp.

四月十五号,星期三,我和太太及另外四位圣母军团员,到新邦葫芦顶探访纳登神父。这也是我们与四位团员的户外活动。

我们的圣母军小组,成为“支团”,取名『晓明之星』支团。晓明之星是恭敬圣母玛利亚的其中一个淑号。

支团在每个星期四开会(周会)。会议中,我们念诵祷文,玫瑰经。团员在会议中也报告了过去一周的工作及分享,然后在会议结束前,被分派下一周的工作。

我们的工作包括探访家庭,病人、老人,医院,老人院,穷困及孤苦者等。

这是四位团员第一次参观这么偏远的农庄。

树胶树正发出新叶,也标志着蚊子繁殖的季节,它们成群结队的攻击我们。
