You take care for all my worries, you pacify me with all your aches, you never leave me alone especially on my dark moments, in time when i was lost. You, indeed are a great God, the only one whom we can rely on, and i will never ever allow myself to be astray.

Day 3: Jn 15:1-8 "I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me,.... bears much fruit...."

• Jesus is inviting us to always connect our life to him. everyday we want to grow but sometimes our growth is limited because we are not connected to the main source and that is Jesus.

• Lord somehow there is peace in the things that i achieved, or when i am able to buy what i need and what i want, or when i am applauded by the work well done, or when i am in control with the situations and get even with my brethren. How beautiful it is to realized that being overshadowed by your love in everything that i do in accordance to your will gives me that real peace  - Anonymous

• Since the semi-silent retreat you've been strong in calling me repeating the same words, listen and Obey...listen and obey i've been so hardheaded with pride of doing things i thought are right, help me to be humble in asking for guidance from the holy spirit, from the missioneros/missioneras. -  Dhelia
