Epiphany 5: LASARE reflection. :)

The recollection last thursday helped me a lot. Helped me because lately my faith and belief in the Lord is very weak. I do not ask God for help in times of need because i didn't trust Him that much. This recollection helped to bring back my faith in the Lord and even helped it to grow stronger. Sir Vanny was really friendly and guided us all through out. We were given set of activities and games to ensure the participation of everybody. It wasn't boring even for a second. It shouldn't be boring. It was fun and yet another spiritual experience. I really like recollections because whatever sins you committed, you will still feel the love and forgiveness of our Lord. The confession was also helpful because i've been really planning to go to confession but certain things keep me from going. The retreat house was also not bad and the food was great. What i also like about recollections is when you are given the time to talk to the Lord alone. "Meditate" is the term they used. I agree with a classmate of mine when he said that the recollection helped the block to bond together more and to realize that you should never feel alone and rejected because there is always a friend by your side. There will always be 2 sets of footprints in the sand. God always gives us a second chance. No matter how sinful you are, in God's eyes, you can be forgiven. I really can tell that all the students learned something from this recollection. it helped us in a way. It helped me in a way. At first, i thought that a recollection should be done somewhere else. Like in Tagaytay for example. But after, i told myself, why should be go to other retreat houses when we have a retreat house here and it will make no difference. What is important is the lessons and values you will learn from the recollection. Who cares if you go to a far way retreat house and come back like nothing happened. I really am looking forward to Lasare2 next year. So before Lasare 2, i'll continue doing all the values and lessons i learned from Lasare1 all for the glory of God.
