SIT DOWN AND

LISTEN (Experiencing Oneself & One’s Personal God)

“You did not choose Me, I chose You…” John 15:16

“What Do You Seek?” (John 1:38)

“This Recollection is for ME and for my GOD!...”

Where do you stay Rabbi?...

Come and See…

John 1:37-39

What are you looking for?...

What do I Want in this Recollection?

…Feel?…Hear?…Say?…

Learn?…Realize?…

Do?…

“Lord, Who May Enter Your Temple?...” Psalm 15: 1-5

Let’s talk about “DISHONESTY”…

WHY LIE?...

Pretentions

Get ahead

Hide the Truth

“A person who obeys God…who always does what is right…whose

words are true and sincere, and who does not slander others…”

HONESTY ZONE

OUR CONTRACT

…WE LISTEN & RESPECT;

…WE DO NOT JUDGE;

…WE DO NOT HUMILIATE; and

…WE DO NOT BETRAY TRUST.

John 15:13 “Greater love no one has…”

Now, We’re Ready To Pray…

The God of silence beckons me

to journey to my heart, where He

awaits. O Lord I hear You calling

tenderly, to You I come to gaze

at the beauty of Your Face I

cannot see, to rest in Your

embrace I cannot feel, to dwell in

Your love, hurting but sweet, to

be with You to glimpse eternity.

Refrain:

God of night, fount of all my

delight, show Your light, that my

heart, like Yours, burn bright.

Be still, the torment of the night

shall not encumber you, if you

believe. My child this darkness

isn’t emptiness, for here I mold

your heart into My image,

painfully you long to see.

The self you yearn to be, but fear

to know, the world from which

you flee, in Me find home. All

these I give you, if you remain in

Me.

Counterpoint:

I am ever here. My child, you

need not fear. The dark will set

you free and bring your heart to

Me.

GOD OF SILENCE

Hmm… Teka…

Sa ngalan ng Ama, Anak at Espiritu

Santo…blah, blah… Amen.

PANANALANGIN…

(Communicating with God)

IKATLO AY PAGPAPAKUMBABA…

“In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us,

weak as we are. For we do not know we ought to

pray; the Spirit himself pleads with God for us

in groans that words cannot express.

And God, who sees into our hearts,

knows what the thought of the Spirit is;

because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf his

people and in accordance with his will.”

- Romans 8: 26-27

“Paano Manalangin…wala tayong

pamamaraan upang ‘makausap ang Diyos

maliban kung una Niya tayong harapin at ipahayag ang Sarili

at biyayaan tayo ng Kanyang Espiritu.”

- #1477 KPK

St. Paul explains…

Sabi ng Ating KATEKISMO…

“Pinauunlad ng panalangin ang maalam na

pagkamulat natin sa pakikiugnay sa Diyos.

Dapat nakabatay ang kaugnayang ito sa kung

SINO ANG DIYOS at kung SINO TAYO…”

- #1476 KPK

ON FORGIVENESS

7 Myths on Forgiveness

1) Forgiving is the same as forgetting.

2) Forgiving is the same as excusing;

3) Forgiving is the same as reconciling;

4) Forgiving makes you weak;

5) Forgiving is an act or a decision;

6) Forgiving makes you more vulnerable

to the same or another person; and

7) Forgiving depends upon the instigator

acknowledging the wrongful behavior.

Psalm 51

A PROMISE

“So let us not become tired of doing good;

for if we do not give up,

the time will come when we will reap the harvest.

So then, as often as we have the chance,

we should do good to everyone…”

- Galatians 6:9-10

I will start…
