4th Day of the Retreat

This morning prayer and meditation we began with the theme of Cross and reconciliation. The prayer lasted for one hour. Moments of thanksgiving and praising, time for reflection and meditation. At the a short reflection on the benefits of sacrament of reconciliation.
The first talk was on the theme of cost of Discipleship, wherein i brought the three vows and various other aspects of being a disciple of the Lord....some facts and figures from history were given to the participants....some changes that we have at the moment in our religious life, the different notion that some of us have about Capuchin life needs to be changed....

During the Mass i spoke about the commitment of Jesus to his cause and mission...he did not compromise with it....to accomplish he involved everyone even those who had no name and fame....
Afternoon talk was based on Jesus and Francis as our role Models for animation of the fraternity and of oneself.....how we need to take responsibility for all the actions and choices that we make in life...no one can do sits up for me but i got to do for myself.....there are moments and circumstances over which we have no control but we have control on ourselves....we cannot stop the birds fly over our head but definitely can stop them making a nest over our heads....we allow the birds to do so and then go round blaming everyone....i eat stuff outside and then have a very bad stomach....but i blame my guardian....no on is responsible the way I am .....but the Onus is on me.....
