Notes:
When I was in high school, I had to go to a TEC (Together Encountering
Christ) retreat on the process to be confirmed
·
I know that you used to have this retreat up
here
·
I was not thrilled to go to this retreat
o I
had many other things I would have rather done
o But
it changed my life
·
Three days:
o Die
day: confession
o Rise
day: open your hearts
o Go
day: go forth to follow Christ
A few thoughts that reminds me during our season of Lent
·
Die day
· One passage was throughout
the retreat: “Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.”
unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.”
o How do I offer my life to
you?
§ Most often: Love
§ Love = willing the good of
the other
· JP and the chapel
·
Metanoia: change in our spiritual lives
o “I will make a new covenant…I will place my law within them and write it
upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
§
How do I open my heart to be changed by God?
§
How do I follow His love
§
How do I offer my love?
Rise day
·
Paschal mystery
o Paschal
(paschalis) = Passover or Easter
o Redemption
of Jesus Christ, especially through his passion, death and resurrection
The third day was Go Day

When Jesus sent the Holy Spirit upon us
