A Tranquil Journey at St. Joseph's Seminary: Echoes of Time

Day 1: A Soul's Haven In the early morning, I strolled along the cobblestone streets of Macau's old town, with the sunlight filtering through the trees, bringing a touch of warmth. I arrived at St. Joseph's Seminary, a serene space hidden amidst the city's hustle and bustle, instantly bringing a sense of peace. The seminary's architecture is distinctly Baroque, with exquisite reliefs and towering arches that tell the story of its history and faith. I quietly entered the church, where the faint sunlight streamed through the stained glass, casting a moving picture on the marble floor. There were no large crowds of tourists here, only pure tranquility and solemnity. In the afternoon, I continued to wander the streets near the seminary, savoring the charm of the old town and immersing myself in the stories of this land. Day 2: The Confluence of Faith and Culture On the second day, I returned to St. Joseph's Seminary to join a small guided tour hosted by the monks. They narrated the founding story of the seminary and how it became an important base for Catholic education in Macau. Afterwards, I visited the seminary's library, where precious ancient books and manuscripts were displayed on the walls, evoking admiration for the preservation and transmission of culture here. In the afternoon, I sat in the seminary's courtyard, gazing at the blue sky and the seminary's tower, feeling an immense sense of peace. That evening, I walked back to my hotel, my mind filled with images of St. Joseph's Seminary and the invaluable tranquility of the soul it offered.
