1. I can strengthen my spiritual immune system by sharing what I have learned from Him with other people. Sharing the lessons we've learned and listening to other's can greatly strengthen our faith and belief as well as our trust. Strengthening our beliefs not only come from prayer, but also from our actions. Learning to look at the positive side of things instead of only the negatives can greatly impact us, and the people we interact with. By learning how to forgive, spending time with our family and friends, and simply treating people nicely is a great way to recognize that God is speaking to us and deciding to listen to His words.

2. The blessings that God gave to me were present even before or right after I was born. He have given me the the  graces of being able to see, hear, touch, smell, and taste to experience the world he has made for us. Whenever I was alone and afraid, he gave me hope through other beings like my friends who always support me, and my family who loves me. He has kept my family and loved ones safe throughout my life and has always forgiven me  whenever I had any shortcomings and mistakes to myself, to Him, and to others.

3. I learnt that Lent is meant to be a time of repentance and an understanding that that we are all born with sin and that repentance required. The purpose of Lent is for us to recognize our imperfectness as humans and the appreciation for our Savior as well as what it means to be a follower of Christ. The time period of Lent allows for us to reflect and open our hearts to Jesus.  It is act of giving something up and replacing it with prayer and worship to focus on Jesus who is our Lord and Savior. The Lenten season gives way for a deeper relationship with God.

1. I can strengthen my Spiritual Immune System by spending more time with God, participating in bible studies, doing good deeds, and never neglecting to pray. Just like my favorite part of the recollection, "There is blessing in serving," there is indeed blessing in serving because it gives you a sense of joy and goodwill as you continue to do good things with the guidance of our Lord.

2. One of my experiences when I felt God's grace was when I was feeling down, Worrying about the things that I should be better at and overthinking about the things that I should worry about in the future, But when I prayed and asked for guidance through the Lord, It felt as if I was just living life and enjoying the things with the people I love, God made me realize that We dont need to be the same as other people, we dont need to be the best at peoples eyes but we need to be a better human being to the eyes of our Lord not just serving Him but also loving the wonderful world he created.

3. My realizations following the Recollection was that God is always there for you, even when you are lonely and hopeless. In the perspective of others, He will look after you. Just like Brother Andreus, being able to serve God is the best thing I've ever done. Making new friends and family while serving the Lord showed me that there is Faith in God.

1.  I can strengthen my spiritual system by being a blessing to others, in other words simply sharing the blessings that the Lord has given me. Having a strong faith in Him even if times get hard will also be a way.  Giving Him my full trust and not doubting Him in whatever situation I am in. By also finding some time to spend with our family despite of our busy schedule, we need to find time to bond with those we love and those who loves and cares for us.

2. Everyday I experience God's grace, not a single has gone by that I didn't felt God's grace. One of which is when He answered my prayers, those moments that I realized He answered my prayers was so meaningful and precious to me. Also, when He continues to protect me and my family constantly without hesitation. Whenever times come that I feel hopeless and unable to do such things that I think is impossible, He makes it possible through His grace.

3. I realized that I should be more grateful of the good and bad things that happen to me because I know that it'll be the one that will make way for me to God's arms. He died for us so that our sins would be forgiven and our relationship with our Father would be put back together, that is how pure and precious His love is for us.  I also came to my realization that I should repent from my sins and ask for forgiveness for all the wrong things I have done.

1. I can strengthen my spiritual system by giving to others or the less fortunate, by sharing my blessings with a humble heart without expecting anything in return. I can also spend more precious time to bond with my family and people close to my heart, we can even bond while praying. As a family, we should believe in God and strengthen our relationship with him with our faith. We should always confess our sins and continue being a servant leader the best that we can even in small ways.

2. There has been many times where I have felt God’s grace but one of them is when me or my family members get healed when they’re sick. In these past two years of pandemic, many things have happened, one of my relatives God Covid, my sister got dengue and many more things happened. But i’m grateful that they all recovered safely through God’s grace.

3. In hard times, we may be tempted or we may doubt God but we should always come back to him. God’s grace is very powerful. We should always thank him for always guiding us and our family to be safe and away from harm even in dark times. God never leaves us. He is always there for us and we should give back to him by serving not just him but others too.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I can strengthen my Spiritual Immune System as said by Brother Andreus by being kind, forgiving and grateful. I was so moved and inspired by his words that we should all be kind to one another this pandemic and show that faith we have towards the Lord. One segment that striked me was the "Mask in Prayer," just like nowadays, we are to wear masks but in the Spiritual World we should aim to take off that mask that is shielding us away from God and to bring out our faith to others. We should always show compassion to others not because we will be rewarded, but because we care.

2. I always feel the Lord's grace when I pray and when I know my family and friends are safe. This way, I truly know that He is by my side and the faith I have with Him is present and glowing. Also, those times I get achievements are with God's grace, there is nothing impossible with God we should just believe in Him.

3. What I realized in this Lenten Recollection is to now repent and ask for forgiveness from God. This is a very special  season in our religion; The Lenten Season and we should take this chance to be good to others. I believe that this is our time to change for the better and turn to God not to temptations. With Brother Andreus' words, I was inspired to feel God's love and show others that love too. We are all God's children and with that we are created in the image and likeness of God so we should act like Him.

1. I can strengthen my spiritual Immune system by being kind, because ever since i heard Brother's talk, i am convinced that when we treat people nicely, we always get something in return, and we can also strengthen our system by believing and praying to God, besides the unfortunate events that happened to Brother, i've heard a lot of great stories about his life from Him and all those stories that he told sounded so.. good to be true? Then I realized, it is God who let those great events happen to him, and I was so touched and it made me feel different in some sort of nice way.

2. I feel God's grace everyday, waking up to a new day is already a great miracle from God. Not only was it possible for me to wake up to a new day because of Him I also have food to eat, water to drink, a bed to sleep in, everything was possible because of God.

3. I realized that we should believe in God more seriously. I really needed to hear Brother's stories since lately i havent had enough time to pay attention to God.

1. I believe than I can strengthen my spiritual immune system through constant prayer and connection through God. By consistently praying, we are able to establish a strong relationship with God therefore strengthening  are spiritual immune system. I also think that through kind acts, we are able to strengthen our spiritual resistance because we are setting an example to others on how God is.

2. I feel God's grace during good things such as recognitions, awards or if something good happens to my family. I also feel God's grace everyday when I wake up, this is because waking up is a miracle. Without God's consent, we wont be able to wake up and we will stay asleep until he allows us to wake up. I think I feel the grace of God in everything I do, because he supports me and guides me in what I want to achieve or obtain.

3. I realized God never left us during our times of crisis. I realized that he is always there to help us get up when we are down and guide us to the right path. The recollection was there to remind us about God's love and how he continues to loves us through our lifetime, continuously reaching out to us.

1. I can strengthen my spiritual immune system by being good to other people. I will be good to them because I want them to treat me good as well. I can also strengthen my spiritual immune system by always praying to God so that I stay faithful and close to Him. Having a happy relationship with God gives us the reward of love, peace, spiritual strength and more. He is the center of all of these so we should stay close to Him.

2. I feel God's grace whenever I pray. He always answers these prayers like the time I had a major exam. I prayed to Him to keep me on track and focused throughout the test. When I pray to Him, it serves as hope to me that there will always be someone by my side. He guides me and makes me feel safe all throughout my journey in life, whether I am young or old, He is always there to support me. Even if I am at an all time low in life, He is there to get me through my hardships in life. That is God's grace.

3. I realized in this Lenten Recollection that God's grace is what saves us. I realized that God will never leave us lonely during these hardships. He will always be our friend, giving His hand out to us when we are having a hard time in life. Think of God as an imaginary friend, when we have problems, we talk to Him through prayer and He listens. God is the center of our life so we should keep Him in our life. Without Him, we will have a hard time in life spiritually.

Philippians 4:13 "I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me"
