GIFTED
By Tali Macasaet (Luke 18)
Before I joined Luke 18, I wasn’t fond of waking up early and going to Mass especially on Sundays. Attending Mass felt like more of a requirement than something I actually wanted to do.
However, when I joined Luke 18, it became a routine that I was glad to do willingly. My faith definitely got stronger, thanks to my faith family. I actually joined the weekend with 11 of my batchmates from school. Some people still don’t believe that some of us didn’t even like each other before and that we did not plan to join together. Through the weekend, we all connected and became close. After the weekend, we all went to the meetings together and didn’t talk much to everyone. We realized that we had to talk to more people and be more open to sharing more in our share groups and to remove my shyness.
My faith family, especially my friends, taught me to talk openly about my faith and to be prouder of loving God. In simple ways – like holding hands while praying then shouting “Amen!” at the end – I strengthen my bond with God through those around me. In bigger ways like the weekend, my faith grew when I silently served the candidates. From preparing their snacks to serving their food, it made me closer to God because of working together with the rest of the silent servers. Read more from this week’s Parish Bulletin>>>>>
