A DAY WITH A

SEMINARIST IN
THE PANDEMIC

GUADALUPE'S MISSIONARIES
 – HELLO! OUR
NAMES ARE JOSE,
HENRY & MIGUEL,
AND I WILL TELL
YOU, HOW IS THE
LIFE IN
THE SEMINARY
DURING THE
PANDEMIC.
– THE TIME TO WAKE UP IS THE
SAME AS BEFORE TO THE
PANDEMIC, I NEED TO BE IN THE
CHAPEL AT 7:00 O'CLOCK TO DO
OUR MORNINGS PRAYERS.
 – IS IMPORTANT NOT
FORGETTING MY MASK! BECAUSE
BEFORE TO THE PANDEMIC WE
DID NOT USE IT, BUT NOW WE
HAVE TO PROTECT OURSELVES
AND MAKE USE OF IT.
 – WHEN THE MORNING PRAYER
FINISHES, I GO TO THE DINING ROOM TO
TAKE THE BREAKFAST.
 – EVERYTHING
HAS CHANGED! WE HAVE
CONTAINERS WHERE WE
KEEP THE CROCKERY THAT
FOR NOW IS FOR
PERSONAL USE. IT CANNOT
BE USED BY SOMEONE ELSE!
– PREVIOUSLY
I DID NOT NEED
STAND IN LINE
WAITING FOR MY
FOOD, WE HAD
BROTHERS WHO
SERVED US
EVERYONE'S
FOOD.
– AT THE END OF BREAKFAST, NOW I WASH
MY CROCKERY. BEFORE THE PANDEMIC
THERE WERE SERVICES THAT DO THIS. I
PUT THE DISHES IN THE CONTAINER AND
READY! I CAN GO TO CLASSES.
 – THE CLASS SCHEDULE
IS THE SAME AS BEFORE. BUT
THE MODALITY HAS CHANGED!
BEFORE I WENT TO
THE CLASSROOM, AT THE
UNIVERSITY. NOW I TAKE
ONLINE CLASSES IN
MY ROOM.
– WHEN CLASSES HAVE FINISHED,
IT'S TIME TO EAT.
– I GO DOWN TO
THE DINING
ROOM WITH THE
MASK ON. WE
GIVE THANKS TO
GOD FOR THE
FOOD WE
RECEIVED. AND
THEN WE ENJOY
THE FOOD.
– AFTER LUNCH. IT'S TIME TO CLEAN UP.
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, OF COURSE WE
ALSO CLEANED THE HOUSE.
 – LATER
AT AROUND 3.00 PM IT IS
TIME OF OUR SPORT.
 OVER
THIS TIME
THE WHOLE
COMMUNITY
GATHERS TO
PLAY
SOCCER OR
BASKETBALL.
– WHEN WE FINISH, WE HAVE TIME TO
TAKE A SHOWER AND THEN COMES
STUDY TIME.
– USUALLY OUR EUCHARISTIC
CELEBRATION IS IN THE
AFTERNOON, WHERE BEFORE
WE CAN GAVE EACH OTHER THE
SIGN OF PEACE WITH A
HANDSHAKE BUT NOW WE
ONLY DO IT WITH A SMALL
BOWING TO OUR BROTHER.
 – NOW, WE NEED TO USE HANDS
SANITIZER FOR OUR SECURITY TO
RECEIVE THE HOLY COMMUNION
WHERE THE PRIEST GIVES US THAT
REPRESENT THE BODY OF CHRIST.
 – RIGHT AWAY OUR DAY
ENDS WITH OUR EVENING
PRAYER IN COMMUNION WITH
ALL MY BROTHERS,
AND THEN WE HAVE AN
EXTRA MOMENT OF STUDY
IF WE NEED IT.
– FINALLY WE GO TO THE BED
TO HAVE A REST, IN ORDER TO
START ACTIVITIES AGAIN THE
NEXT DAY.
