One of them is when it’s the end of the day, i pray to God and talk about him about the things that happened in my day to strengthen my faith in him. Another action is trusting God and letting him assist me in difficult times or decisions, this helps me in building my relationship with him and strengthen my spiritual immune system.

2. I’ve experienced God’s grace when i felt like giving up on everything. He was there to comfort me at my hardest times, slowly and eventually, made me not give up and tried to stay determined. I experienced his grace when i was feeling frustrated at myself. For example, when i was mad at myself for not improving much as an artist, he comforted me and made me realize that everything takes time and patience.

According to Brother Andreus, we can strengthen our spiritual immune system through constant communication with God, and this is through prayers. To be thankful all the time.

I feel the presence of God whenever I witness kindness to the poor, homeless, sick, and mentally sick people. Whenever someone did good to me, I thank them because I see God and them.

Whatever situation we are in right now, believe that it will pass and we will get through it with God. We just need to put our trust in Him.

God always gives us grace without us realizing it, but i felt his grace more when I was losing hope during the pandemic.

We should never doubt God because he always gives us what we need, especially when we are having a hard time.

1. I will strengthen my spiritual immune system by knowing more about God. I think in oder to build a stronger pillars of faith and trust to God I must know more about Him because by knowing Him and his life would open a deeper understanding why would He allow things and deeper connection to Him for I can stand up every time the world is giving me obstacles in life and my faith. Second, Spend alone time for reflection. This could help me practice my patiences and decision making. By doing this it would help me to remind myself to think and reflect first before making actions and decisions. Lastly, Prayer. I should make praying to God a daily ritual or exercise for me to remind myself that God is always there thru ups and downs that I am facing everyday.

2. I always feel God's grace every time I have no one to talk to and when I am feeling down. It just no matter how heavy it could be when I talk to Him I just feel that the heavy feeling had been lifted up. Second is when I passed the USTET, I always prayed to God to allow me to passed the exam even though I am doubting my own capabilities but still God proves that I am capable as well to prove to everyone that I can pass the entrance exam.

3. I realize that God see our struggles as long we are obedient and honest. If we prayed to God our struggles and wishes He would make ways or will allow it but if our prayers will lead us to wrong decision God will make way to stop it. I also realized from here the real concept of freedom. God hear our prayers but not all the time those prayers or things that we are praying for will be given to us in one snap but God will give us the freedom to choose the path that He thinks would lead us to greater life lesson. He would give us thousand of path choices but He wouldn't leave us no matter what path we would choose. We may not feel or see Him but He knows when we couldn't carry our problem and struggles anymore.

1. I don't remember a lot from the sharing of Brother Andreus, but I can strengthen my spiritual system in various ways. Firstly, I can use social media to share the gospels from the holy bible. Secondly, I can join the live masses that are held online. And thirdly, I can spend my spare time communicating with God. these are only 3 basic ways to strengthen my spiritual system, but there are a lot more like feeding the hungry and more.

2. I experience God's grace whenever I feel happy, down, lost, excited and the other feelings we humans can feel. I feel God's grace because whenever I feel these different emotions or whenever I am going through something there are people in my life that can listen to me with all ears and people that can give me advice for my life. Some examples of these people are my siblings, my best friends, my parents, and a lot more.

3. Something that I realized is that we should spend our time with our families and make happy memories with them because we can never know when God will take them. I also started to believe that God has a plan, a plan for every one of us and we just have to trust in him. And last but not least I learned that we should show grace to others.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I can strengthen my "Spiritual (Immune) System" based on the sharing of Brother Andreus by continuing to spread his words, as well as being a good example to others and spending time with God. We should help others as well without expecting something in return but you help them because you want to really help them.

2. There's a lot of experiences I had with God that I feel his grace. Throughout my dark times/blue days, I always feel comfort when I'm talking to him. For example, when I and my mother had a fight. I feel really down to the point that I want to go to my dad's house. But I remembered that we fought for a reason and I was really the one at fault and with that, God guided me to say sorry to my mom and make it up to her.

3. I realized that we should trust God with all our heart and with no single doubt. He would be always there for us. I also realized that instead of I distance myself from others and keep my problem to myself, but I should seek help from others and God.

1. I can strengthen my spirtual immune system by trusting in God in his decisions for me.  I can also strengthen it by being close to God. As one of his children and for Him being my Father, I should continue to spread His word and communicate with him every day through prayer.

2. I feel God's grace whenever I am lost and confused. He has always been there beside me guiding me throughout life. When I am lost, He finds me and leads me back. When I feel that I am beginning to feel like giving up, He gives me a sign to continue and to learn from my mistakes. I also felt His grace when I am studying because He gives me the right mind to think carefully and to analyze some problems. I get distracted every time I do my work but with his guidance, I managed to stay focused. I know this because during this 3rd quarter I have been more focused because I have been more connected to God. I also feel his grace whenever I wake up because breathing is already God's grace so we should live a good life with no regrets and make the most out of it.

3.  I realized that we should trust God for he will give us the right timing for things. I also realized that everything happens for a reason because God would not want us to suffer. We should be grateful for the things and blessings that were given to us by God. We should also spend the time that is given to us by God with our loved ones because like Brother Cosio's mother I would want to spend time with them until their last breath. I would also cherish all the moments with my loved ones because I know that there will be one day when God will take them back and I won't be able to be with them anymore but I know that they are in a better place.

# data[].attributes.body
1. According to Brother Andreus' sharing, I can strengthen my "Spiritual (immune) System" if I stop trying to win God's love. To begin with, we don't need to win His love because He already love us unconditionally despite all our sins and imperfections. To strengthen it we need to believe in Him, spread His words and live by faith.

2. I felt God's grace everyday of my life. Having to wake up and we are whole as a family is the greatest gift I could ever receive from God. He provided our needs even during the surge of Covid-19 pandemic. And most importantly, He made us all safe.

3. After the Lenten Recollection I realized that even in our most trying times, God is still with us. He will never leave us. I remember when someone shared a story where in he lost his mother who died of old age, then a few months after a blessing came. His wife got pregnant after many years of trying. It only goes to show that everything that happens in our life has a reason. God will always replace our loss with a new blessing and we just need to trust in Him.

3. I realized that God is always with us. When we have a problem, He always find a solution.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Based on the sharing of Brother Andreus, I can strengthen my "Spiritual (immune) System" by acknowledging that we should stop trying to "win" God's love. We simply do not need to "win" it at all since God already loves us. We just need to understand that and open ourselves to his love and goodness. We can also strengthen this by spreading God's love to others and creating a "Faith-demic."

2. In general, an experience where I always feel God's grace is when he forgives me for my sins. Just like the example of Brother Andreus where he was forgiven for cheating on an exam, I am also forgiven by God for any sins when I repent for them. I also feel God's grace when I give grace to people who have wronged me. This is because God's grace has influenced me to make others feel that grace as well.

3. After the Lenten Recollection, I realized that I shouldn't run away from the people who love me and instead, open up to them and God. We should trust in Him even when times are hard. I learned that God is always with me no matter what happens. I also realized that life is not about showing that we ourselves are good, but rather showing others that God is good.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I can strengthen my spiritual system by
"removing the distance of the heart". Since we should follow the rule "social distance", it doesn't mean that we should also distance our hearts from our loved ones. We should remove the barriers that keeps us away spiritually from our families like anger, online games, and many more because sometimes, even if we're together with our families and there's no physical barriers, we feel that we're away from them because of those things that distract us.

2. I feel God's grace whenever I meet my beautiful and kind CLE teacher, ma'am Abby because even if I commit mistakes and I tell it to her, she always says that it's okay and those are the words that calm my heart just like how God calms my heart. Also, I like her beautiful smile and spirit. I feel like that's how Jesus and God will smile at me.

3. I realized that everything happens because of a reason. Like what happened to brother Andreus, he's laptop got broken but, he had a friend who gave him a new one. Also, God is so good. We may ask ourselves "Why does he love a disobedient human like me?"-the only answer to that is he is so good. He's so good to the fact that he still loves the people who turn back at him, stab him at the back, and to the people who keeps on committing sin.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
This is my favorite part of the mass because it clearly demonstrates the need to be humble.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I can strengthen my spiritual immune system by loving others closely. "Removing the distance from the heart," as brother Andreaus puts it. We should approach others with love and clear in our hearts. We should spread the FAITHdemic, instead of avoiding it. In short, love one another.

2. I feel God's grace everyday, when I wake up. God has given me the gift of life and free will. Whenever I feel the kindness of others, I know that God is pulling at the strings. Whenever I am able to enjoy myself, I know that God is there enjoying it with me. Whenever I help somebody, I pass the gift of God to them.

3. After the Lenten Recollection, I realized three things:

a. That God is indeed, good.

b. That FAITHdemic is different from pandemic and should be spread, instead of avoided.

c. That God's love lives within us and we should share it with others.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I can strenghten my Spritual immune System by strengtining my relationship with God like always praying doing things that he want us people to do.

2. I always feel that he guides me like in my studies and the things i do in a daily basis. All of us feels God's grace, we dont feel it but we can somehow realize how he gives us he's grace by waking up in the morning and him giving us a new day and a new mission of an activity to do.

3. I realized that in everything that happens in our life remember that God is always there for us and remember to always have faith in God.

# data[].attributes.body
1. We can strengthen our "SPIRITUAL (Immune) SYSTEM" based on the sharing of Brother Andreus by always believing in Jesus  and knowing that God is good. As what I understood in the sharing in the recollection, we should give help to people in the best way we can do and we should not expect for a return. We should know that receiving is good but giving is better. We should also believe in God's grace because God's grace gives us hope and helps us to be a better person.

2. I feel God's grace everyday. For me, everyday is a chance given to me by God to be kind to everyone. I feel God's grace in my ups and downs, I know that God guides me to do the right thing everyday. I feel God's grace when I am happy, I know God is the reason of why I am happy because God leads me to the right people, and to me, the right people to make me happy is my family and friends. In my downs like when I have problems I can feel God's grace because I know God helps me to pass all the problems that I encounter and I know that God won't give us a challenge that we can't do because God is always with us to protect and guide us. I believe that everything happens for a reason.

3. After the Lenten Recollection, I realized that we should always be grateful in everything. We should know that we are so blessed because despite this pandemic, we are still alive and safe. We should be thankful to everything like having a home to live in, having good people to spend our life with, foods to eat, clean water to use and drink, education, and so much more. We are blessed because we have our basic needs and because we can buy some of our wants sometimes. Being able to see, talk, hear, and walk are big blessings that we should be so thankful for. I realized that we should be thankful for having good health and for everyday. I also realized that we can feel God's presence everyday and that we receive God's grace every second because every second counts as a part of our life.

# data[].attributes.body
1. To strengthen my spiritual system, I have less time on social media and more time to approach God.

2. I always feel Gods Grace wherever I go. I felt Gods grace during hard time when no one was there for me.

3. After the recollection i felt that my relationship with God got even deeper.

# data[].attributes.body
I.

1. To strengthen my spiritual system, I will reduce my time in social media and have time to get close to God. We should love our family and help them if they need anything because demons want to divide us and provoke us to do something bad. We should forgive people because God forgives us every time when we commit sin. And sin is already the consequence of sin.

2. In my point of view, I had experienced God’s grace and love several times when the times I was in difficult and bad situations. One of the most memorable and remarkable experiences is when the day that I took the test in math. I didn’t trust myself and my family that I would pass and get a good score even though they supported and cheered me up because when I took the examination test, I didn’t know the answers to some questions and ran out of time. But, after days, when the result of the tests was given, I was surprised and shocked that I passed the test because I had low scores in some long tests in math. That time, I experienced God’s grace and realized that he loves us unconditionally. Furthermore, there are instances in which I’m lacking time. One of those instances that I experienced is when I and my pair submitted the mini task late because of lack of time. I hid it as a secret from my mother because I know that she would be disappointed in me but when I saw my score, I was glad that I got a high and calamansi score. After I saw my score, I told her the score I got and that I and my pair submitted it late. I was so grateful to God until now. It strengthens my faith and encourages me to work harder and better.

3. Firstly, I am so grateful to Sir Andreus Cosio for sharing his inspirational words and story. Usually, I don’t like attending any events or programs in weekends, but I am glad to participate and attend the program because I really enjoyed it. I experienced mixed emotions and feelings like sadness, happiness, laughter based on his story. I love how he told his story because he smiled while preaching God’s grace and goodness. I wish him to spread the goodness of God to more people to motivate them and realize that they shouldn’t give up on their life because God is still here to help us. While he was talking about his first girlfriend when he was in college, it makes me happy because he said that he always went to UST in the morning just to see his girlfriend, but when he admitted that they broke up after graduating, I felt little sad. He served God after they broke up, but after that, he met his wife and when they were on the bus, his wife said that his hair is thin, and he should stop using gel. Therefore, it was the funny part that I heard. He stopped using gel after that day. When he was sharing his mother’s story, it hurts my feelings because his mother had cancer and he said that all he did wasn’t enough for his mother before she died. The part when he received a mac made me realize that God would give your need in different and unique ways.  I realized that giving is better than receiving.

1. It can help me to realize what are the thing that we need to do. To help us and other by just doing things is good.

3. The things the i realize while i was in the lenten recollection is we need to give sometime to our family. And we don't need to argue that people need to come closer to God because God. Will help them realize that they need to come closer to God

# data[].attributes.body
I.

1.  I don't recall all of the ways to strengthen our spiritual system, but I do recall some of Brother Andreus' points. To dirty our hands is one of the ways to enhance our spiritual system. As a family, we should support one another. I believe that having the desire to give is good. Receiving isn't bad, but we should learn to give as well. Allowing our hearts and thoughts to communicate with one another is another approach to improve our spiritual system. We all know that we have safe spaces to express ourselves, such as our friend groups. But it's fine to be sad every now and then. Always remember that crying or being sad doesn't mean that you're weak. Allow yourself to take a break every now and again. Take care of yourself.

2. As a student, I had many opportunities to experience God's grace. One of the most memorable events I've had was when God answered my prayers. Every time God offered me a chance to change, he made me a better person. He is always at my side, encouraging me and pointing me in the right direction. Because it is something that matters to us, I believe that God responding to my prayers is something to be grateful for. We should always express gratitude to God for his sacrifices.

3. One thing I realized from the Lenten Recollection is that God is indeed good. Brother Andreus Cosio gave us an explanation of why God is good and how he shows his love for us. We may wonder if he truly loves or cares for us at times, but at the end of the day, we know he is good. God can show his love in a variety of ways. Brother Andreus Cosio's talk was my favorite part of the event since I was so touched by him. The story about his friend dreaming of giving him a Macbook and the story about his mother are two of my favorites. I believe that God is always good. 🫶🏻

1. We can strengthen our Spiritual (Immune) System by using more time to the activities that guide us in improving our connection with God like the FAITHdemic that we attended earlier. This is because some people, including me, are somewhat lost on what we are supposed to do to have a bond with God. With the help of recollections, seminars, and the Christian Living Education subject, we will be able to establish a strong connection between Him and us. Praying is also helpful in strengthening our Spiritual System for we are able to talk with God. We may talk about what was our experiences on a particular day and reflect on those, and our problems and miseries that trouble our minds and hearts. Through this, God will comprehend our situation and utilize the Holy Spirit to guide us in solving our problems. Applying and practicing our faith also strengthen our Spiritual System because I believe that if we practice something, we will know what are the things we lack and improve them the next time we do it.

2. I felt God’s grace during the Second quarter where the said quarter for me is the most challenging and hectic quarter I experienced though I know I have a lot of quarters to tackle. I consider that the second quarter is the most challenging quarter for it had an event that provoked a domino effect, and this is the surge in cases of COVID-19 positives. This led to a two-week health break that is really needed since we are all stressed that this situation is happening again. I feel this is one of God's graces to all of us because it gave me time to rest and heal since I had influenza that time and do my backlog tasks. After the health break, we have a faster-paced calendar given that we need to chase the school calendar therefore, I am exhausted after this hectic quarter. But when a month passed and, I saw my grades, they surprised me as I thought that my grades would be lower than my previous grades. The recollection we had earlier made me realize that these and more events are truly represented God’s grace.

3. My realizations after attending the Lenten Recollection are that God’s grace is everywhere and we can also give His grace to others. We can give God’s grace by being honest in our lives, actions, and being ourselves since God knows us and He heals ourselves which makes us able to help others. Removing the space in our relationships such as forgiving your family if they misunderstood you in your stance on something is a way of giving God’s grace to the people that are significant in our lives. If we met a person that has a problem may be on their personal life, it is also important that we help them rather than dismiss them. We must share His grace for sharing this is also sharing our Salvation and God’s love for His Creations.

1. By well nourishing our soul, we can experience more joy, self-love, and gratitude,
And the vitality to improve and strengthen our mental immune system.
Looking at the nutrition of both types of the immune system (physical)
And (mentally) it may be challenging, but everyone has the same foundation
Needs: The immune system includes nutritious foods, hydration, exercise,
Lots of rest, lack of junk food, loving relationships, etc.

2. I always feel God's grace whenever I'm on my lows and highs. We receive, recognize, and experience God's grace through faith. It's like moving to God, whose arms are wide open, no matter what we did or how low our lives were. Grace finds us and welcomes us every day wherever we are. Jesus did this for us, even if we didn't want or want it. We didn't even know it was necessary, but when that grace was first received by faith,  our eyes were opened.

3. My realization after the Lenten recollection was
even if you feel overwhelmed by your sins, God is not. He will still forgive you. and
forgiveness shows us God’s power and mercy and leads us to respect Him in a deeper way.

# data[].attributes.body
1. How I can strengthen my "SPIRITUAL (Immune) SYSTEM" Based on the sharing of Brother Andreus is to have a good relation with Christ. Not only that, I also need to have have action aside from just praying in order for that miracle to work.

2. There was one time in Christmas Eve of 2019, my family started to argue about something. I was worried that this will go out of hand quickly. Note that in that time, we were expected to go to our new home in 2 months time. However, thanks to Gods grace, the family feud settled and we got to our new home just in time for the holidays. I feel mixed emotions afterwards.

3. My realization about this topic is that, it is okay to be vulnerable. Just like what 1 Peter 5:7 says "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
