RECOLLECTION'S DOCUMENTATION

WHY This is the time we spend with the Lord with

his words. We can have a deeper

RECOLLECTION?
understanding of who we are and
rediscover God's abiding presence in our
lives. It is a special time with the Lord that
we must prioritize and give attention.
 REFLECTION
For the passed 3 years I haven’t attend any recollection in this
school. It was actually in my first year when I heard about the
word “recollection” I don’t even know what does it mean and they
said we are required to attend but I always choose not to and my
main reason was "I'm not catholic" What a lame excused right? but
this morning I did. At first I found it boring and I said to myself "I
will only last for 15 mins here and will finally leave" but I didn't,
Why? because father caught my attention. At first he asked
relatable questions like "how's your love life" and I found it
hilarious though idk how's my life going. When he talked about the
story of Hosea, the prophet. It really hit me hard, specially when
he said that we keep on complaining about things which I actually
did this past few days. I can see God from Hosea, I know I have
sinned a lot of times and I always pray to God and ask for his
forgiveness but I'll repeat it again, idk what's wrong with me and I
want to be mad at myself but Hosea proved that even though you
have sinned or made a lot of ungrateful things at the end of the
day he will still accept you and just like Hosea did to his wife
Gomer.

The most important thing that I've learned during the recollection is we need to
continue to love even if it hurts or someone broke our heart. I've been in a situation in
which I thought that I won't love again, I can't love again because I was traumatized
from the pain, afraid to do the same thing. I know God has his own plans, he allows us to
be broken so those broken pieces of us will help to rebuild and share those pieces to
others. Someone hurt my feelings and that someone was the love of my life whom I
spend my time with, I was in pieces but that doesn't mean I'll be in pieces forever, I
rebuild myself for the better version of myself and to be able to love again.
