                    [Summary] => Recently I witnessed a ceremony simple but highly significant. It was the renewal of vows of scholastics and brothers. At the Communion of the Mass, the celebrant holding up the Host, the forty-two young men came to the sanctuary knelt down and read the formula of their vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. They came in groups, depending on the language each had chosen to pronounce his vows in. First came those in English, then (a much larger number) those in Cebuano Visayan, then those in Tagalog. Then came two in the chavacano of Zamboanga, and finally one in Ilocano.
