Brothers return after a month

The second and first course Brothers returned to the Seminary today for their BA exams. They appear quite different after a month of stay at home... most of them weaker and darker than when they left at the end of February. Anyway, to set the tone right, I addressed them soon after the Mass in the evening. I reminded them of a few matters concerning discipline and study so that they do not test waters and then land in soup! To drive the nail into the coffin, Fr KT in his goodnight shared the opinion of some of the Bishops concerning BA studies: those who fail in BA can very well leave the seminary. What good can a fellow achieve if he cannot get through an ordinary BA exam?
