lives to the kingly, priestly and prophetic ministry of our Lord, Jesus Christ!
seminarian which is to be formed as a human being, as a Christian, and as with the image and
likeness of Jesus; I must submit myself to the Seminary Formation that the Seminary is offering
me, there were times that I will not understand the wisdom behind some of the things that the
formators are asking me, but I know that eventually, I will do realize that all these things are
part of the formation for me to be formed and to be ready for my future ministry if God will
permit.
