Retreat [Lent]

Last weekend, Saturday til Sunday (28-29 March) I went for a Retreat [Indonesian]. I could say that it was a last minute decision, cos at first I didn't plan to go for it. But God somehow invited me to go, so I took this opportunity to get closer to him as I spent more time with Him there and with someone guiding me (us).
The retreat was held in Taishan - nearby my university and Fr. Wawan was the one guiding us.
They were [I think] 27 of us in total, 2 Priests, 1 Sister, 1 Brother, and the rest is us, the students and working ones.



The retreat was about our call to follow Jesus. [c.f. Luke 5:1-11].
Here's one of my point: "For Peter who was always not ready to be Jesus' disciple, who even neglected to admit that Jesus is a Messiah; God still chose Him. Why? It is because of his weaknesses..(which he later realized about) God loved him no matter what.

In 1 Corinthians 1:27, it is mentioned: "God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong" 29:"so that no one might boast in the presence of God". So that those who are 'more' will not be overwhelmed by what he has, cos everything in him/her, is all given by God, all is coming back to Him..

Therefore, do not be discouraged to come to Him. Now is the best time to do so, during this Lenten season. God is there waiting for you and me, to come back to Him. and here, the Sacrament of Reconciliation is the answer.. It's -+ 2weeks before Easter. Let's be like Peter who turned back to Jesus because of His love and merciful grace, Amen.
Have a blessed Lenten season.
