It has been very difficult to rest. It has been very difficult to sit still and to be silent, knowing that there are many other things still left to be done.
With the busyness of RYC preparations and other commitments, it was very easy for me to forget why I was serving in the first place. It was very easy to become impatient and to become very anxious.
Praise God that I was able to take part in the recollection, for Pacific’s upcoming Regional Youth Conference. An evening intended to prepare the hearts of the many youths and couple coordinators, who will be serving in His vineyard this weekend. An evening to recollect, relax and dwell in the presence of the Lord. With Him and for Him.
As I reflected more on yesterday’s gospel (John 15:9-17) and the theme for this year’s RYC (Matthew 7:7), the Lord revealed to me that, His love will always remain even if we forget Him amidst all of the busyness that surround us.
Coming into RYC, the Lord reminds me that in order to find peace and rest, I need to be still, remain in His love and continue seeking Him in all things.
Our lady of Guadalupe, Star of the New Evangelization, pray for us!
St. John Bosco, patron saint of youth, pray for us!
Ad Maiorem Dei gloriam!
