Time IV - Retreat

04/01/2011

When I remember Lenten retreat, which took place in the school, it reminds me that I enjoyed them - but only because przepadały my lessons. Now, when I choose to retreat alone, and coercion on the part of the school, a catechist or parents do not have - it's hard to go on a retreat to force ... As a man realizes that four days ago you have to walk to church, it's actually a odechciewa ... But I am glad that this year I broke up. Retreat spoke quite sensibly, not too long, not too short, but most importantly, that understandable and interesting. He was talking a lot about three "pillars" the present time - that is, fasting, penance and prayer. But best of all is that finally I broke and I managed to go to confession (using the fact that priests in the confessionals sitting with other parishes, and so those who do not know me.) When you knelt at the confessional, I thought I'd die of fright, but now I feel like I've thrown off the kilkutonowy boulder. Zbiło me a little confused by the priest's question, what is my prayer. I told him about the sins, and he told me about prayers ... In fact, I did not know what to say. Why should I think? I have for this provision of the Lenten - Just do not know if I can make them happen ... Well, here I am again writes about the church, and just be late for an appointment. Again .

you participated in a Lenten retreat?

you remember about the three pillars of Lent - fasting, alms and prayers? How is my prayer?

How to fulfill the terms that I made? Or maybe not so far do not have any?

From me: past days were not particularly easy for me - I tired of school, tired of taking drugs - not very pleasant. To the extent that it is difficult to focus on anything else (including the prayer). But nobody said that it has to be light, and joy at this time is really too much. I remembered the last of the prayer, he advised me a few months ago Father Peter and whose words were: Lord, teach me to bear my cross! So I'm learning, but rather it is He who teaches me. Gradually, small steps, but still! Once again, I realized how God helps me in college when I did not really give you advice and not growing up to do something intellectually - just like the last, happily passing the test. The next time I see that it helps me and reminds of myself when I'm letting back on the people (as they sometimes probably fail on me - so, well, I realize that it can operate in two pages). When you analyze it all, I see that my "desert time" actually may ultimately turn out to be purification of the heart. Maybe that's why so much like the one of the Lenten Preface, which reads as follows:

surely is worthy and just, right and salutary, * we always give you thanks * you, Father, Almighty God, * King of eternal glory.
time you give us the grace and salvation, * we purify the heart from disordered attachment * and among the temporal * cared mainly about eternal salvation.
why the angels and saints * praise You, we sing:

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts ...

I wish you all good the use of "time of grace and salvation." The Lord God!
