Motto: “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” (Col4:2)
Greetings, dear friends!
Today is a splendid day and I am filled with gratitude to God and especially my cherished family, relatives, and friends. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Jhon Marc Gil D. Gervacio, an 18-year-old Seminarian from Cadunan, Mabini, in Davao De Oro, Philippines. Currently, I reside at the Scalabrinian Seminary, located in New Manila, Quezon City, Philippines.
The pivotal moment in my life arrived when God extended His invitation, and I embraced it wholeheartedly, embarking on the journey of a Scalabrinian Seminarian from a humble peasant family. This calling brings me immense joy, fueled by my unwavering eagerness and zeal to walk in the path of God. I made this choice buoyed by the encouragement of my family, whose sacrifices and unwavering dedication to their faith inspire me to someday spread His Word to His people and those who are in need, especially the migrants, OFWs, refugees and seafarers.
I am deeply grateful to my family for imparting upon me the values of encouragement and perseverance, teaching me to confront and embrace the reality of life in each passing day. I owe a debt of gratitude to my grandparents, who instilled in my parents the significance of prayer.
