1. How can you strengthen your “SPIRITUAL (Immune) SYSTEM” based on the sharing of Brother Andreus?

To enhance our immune system, it is not enough to just put on masks and follow social separation. It goes a lot deeper than that. The physical immune system isn't the only one that must be considered. We should also work on bolstering our spiritual defenses. God is Good, as Brother Andreus stated before, no matter how bad the times appear to be right now. He is consistently good.

My own personal experience with the pandemic exemplifies God's endless grace. I'm relieved to say that after two years in the heart of the pandemic, neither I nor any of my family members have tested positive for the virus.

1. How can you strengthen your "SPIRITUAL (Immune) SYSTEM" based on the sharing of Brother Andreus?

Amidst the struggles that the world faces in each day, it is not only crucial to remain vigilant of the imminent virus, but also our spiritual state. As emphasized and exemplified by these events, faith cannot only grow but could likewise deplete when we lose faith during challenging situations. Given such conditions, we must strengthen our defenses against losing our faith and trust in God by nourishing it.

Brother Andrew states that we could strengthen our faith in the following ways. Reading the bible allows us to establish a personal connection with God. Moreover, these passages could be relayed to our daily lives and be applied within the struggles we face. Prayer is another effective way to communicate with God. However, prayer not only serves as a mode of communication with the Lord, but it gives us access to a calmer, more collected version of ourselves. Prayer is an effective way to understand our personal conflictions and doubts as a result of past events. If we understand the significance of our Spiritual (Immune) System, we could strengthen our connection to God.

2. Share some of your experiences wherein you feel God's grace.

I feel God’s grace when I am grateful for being safe and stable in terms of my well-being. Another instance where I could feel God’s grace is whenever I am surrounded by something that I am passionate about. As someone who is inclined towards many talents, God’s grace is something that I could connect to these gifts;

In connection to this, I could recall a specific time period in which I was conflicted on why I was becoming more and more insecure. Not only in terms of my appearance, yet in terms of my academic achievements. These events made me feel unaccomplished and uninspired. Months within this dilemma, I made the realization that God was the only aspect of my faith and self that I could turn to. This was my most memorable experience of grace from God.
3. What are your realizations/insights after the Lenten Recollection?

Our relationship with God could be nourished by self-reflection, gratefulness and growth. An important realization that I have learned from the discussion was to be honest and to open myself to God. My insight to these discussions is riddled with hope and inspiration. I learned that God’s goodness is something that can grow. Like many aspects that are related to our personality, growth is present in all aspects of our lives; whether this would be in a skill, or our personality. Growth is something very important in order to nourish and renew our faith and ourselves. Nonetheless, I have realized that God’s grace may not feel or seem present in particular circumstances such as mine. The pandemic, financial losses and lack of inspiration are one of the many things that could cause this. However, not losing hope and remaining motivated are ways to overcome such instances and reconnect with God.

I have a friend who I haven't talked to for a while because of some personal matters. Having this in mind, we both didn't expect to meet at the Church. We were shocked but we were thankful to the grace of God because He made a way to make me and my friend catch up. With this experience, me and my friend are now talking to each other again and we were able to talk sincerely and fix things up with the help of God's grace. After experiencing this, we believed more in the saying "kung kayo talaga, kayo talaga." but of course, we believed in this quote as friends who had some misunderstandings that led to miscommunication who received God's grace by making a way to make us catch up.

1. Brother Andreus provided many ways to strengthen the spiritual system of an individual. The very first requirement to strengthen the spiritual system is to be closer to God. Let us allow God to be in our hearts, for he is our savior and he will save us in all circumstances of life. Secondly, as we allow God in us, we should also welcome his graces and be grateful for them. God's grace heals our inner self. It keeps us provided for, and it keeps saving us. Thus, giving gratitude for all the graces we receive is very important. Third, let God love us because he loved us first. He is just waiting for us to love him back. Loving God is also a way to love our neighbors as well, for he uses us to become an instrument of love. With love, we are being transformed into doing good things rather than bad ones. Moreover, love unites people, which God wants for his children. Love does not only build relationships, but it also heals because love is inevitable. Lastly, let us serve the Lord with all our hearts and minds. Service builds our character. It molds us to become a better version of ourselves. With service, we can help many people because we are made to help one another. For a person to be able to serve is a blessing because not everyone has the capability to serve genuinely. The spiritual system is relevant for an individual because it contributes to building who we are now and what we will become in the future. Hence, we should put effort into molding ourselves to develop our spiritual system.

2. All of my experiences in life are grace from God because grace is everywhere. Being alive in this time of pandemic is already a grace because many people die of different causes, but here I am surviving this crisis. Having a complete family is also a grace because not all children experience having a complete family, and I am grateful because I am not one of those children. However, I feel sad for them because no child deserves to experience having an unfortunate family. Lastly, studying comfortably in this time of crisis is also a grace because I am privileged enough to have all the necessities I need to study without having so many difficulties. I am grateful for all the graces God has bestowed upon me and my family, no matter how big or small, because graces are gifts from God.

3. The Lenten Recollection is truly a great help for students because it expands our knowledge of God and the reality of life. After the Lenten recollection, I realized that God is good even though we have sinned many times against him. He is always ready to accept us no matter who we are or what we are. He is just waiting for us to come to him. I have also realized that in order to be with God, good works are not enough because we should also trust and believe in him. Moreover, the Lenten Recollection made me realize that we should always be grateful in life because our life is God's grace. All the things we have now are all God's grace. We owe it all to him. He does not hesitate to help us because he is our father and we are his children. God is good to us, so we should also be good to our neighbors.

1. How can you strengthen your “SPIRITUAL (Immune) SYSTEM” based on the sharing of Brother Andreus?

Another suitable approach to connecting with God would be through prayer.

Prayer can help us comprehend our internal conflicts and doubts that have arisen as a result of past occurrences.

1. How can you strengthen
your Spiritual Immune System based on the sharing of brother Andreus?

He discussed and brought up a lot of topics. He talked about his previous relationship, cheating on a test, and his mother. I felt both motivated and blessed. He went through a lot of heartache and pain until he could be someone who could really share his experience and inspire others, including me. By learning and reflecting on what he stated, I may fortify my spiritual system. He was consistent with his ex, truthful when he cheated on an exam, and strong when we were with his mother in her final hours. I also want to be truthful and kind.

2. Share some of your experiences wherein you feel God's Grace.

Throughout my life, I have sensed God's grace. In times of doubt and worry, He has been a source of support for me. Despite these moments of doubt, I continue to feel the love and will soon experience the grace. His love for me has always existed, and it is up to us to embrace it in our best and worst moments. He has worked wonders and miracles to get me to where I am now. I wouldn't be the same person I was years ago if I didn't have these.

3. What is your realization/insight after the Lenten Recollection?

God works in surprising ways. And that is precisely correct. Just as Brother Andreus said, "God's Grace keeps saving us."  God does not make mistakes, but He makes miracles. I've also realized that life is about more than just accomplishing things for yourself. It is possible to live in such a way that the happiness of others makes you happy as well.

# data[].attributes.body
1. how can you strengthen your spiritual (immune) system based on the sharing of brother Andreus?

Brother Andreus shared a lot of insightful ways on how we can strengthen our spiritual immune system. When life's difficulties arise, God's promises are what protect us from falling to fear and doubt. The Bible is the only source where God's promises may be obtained. Daily intakes of God's Word are essential for spiritual health to be maintained. Prayer, should be the first thing we do when trouble arises. Pray for courage, wisdom, and assistance. Most importantly, pray for persistence and faithfulness. In prayer, we proclaim God's promises.

2. share some of your experience wherein you feel God’s grace

Every day God gives me grace, and living, being safe, and protected by Him is already a grace I’m always thankful for. However, to be specific, there is this one time when. I’m so overwhelmed by the activities and lessons that the school gave. I can’t blame them for giving us that much workload because those things are for my betterment and for me to have the knowledge and be educated as times pass by. Going back, family problems and my academics are slowly falling. I’m lost and don’t know to whom should I open my problems, but I realized that God sees and He is here for me. I told Him my problems. Things happened in a snap, the connections between me and family are back, much stronger this time. My academics are slowly going well. All things are possible with Him, and He will provide all the time.

3. what are your realization/insights after the Lenten recollection?

I believe there are a lot of times that I felt God’s grace, even the barest minimum. But maybe I wasn’t able to appreciate all those things and that damaged me somehow, I should always praise and thank Him. That makes me realize that God is Good. Even if I wasn’t able to notice the grace He has given, He still continuously loved me. Like what Brother Andreus mentioned, God is Good because God gives us grace and serves us with His unconditional love.

These are the few things that l would always cherish as I learned them on the recollection:

-      God first loves us, and we respond. I should stop trying to love God because I should open ourselves and let God loves me.

-      High or low, it is fine. As long as you are with God, you are at peace. God is with us all the time, and He won’t leave us. He will always provide.
