1. I can strengthen my spiritual immune system by praying every day.  As Bro. Andreus suggested. I can also go to the church to strengthen my faith.

2. When I was 6, I nearly got run over by a passing car while in a bike. Through God's grace I did not get run over. I always think about that day, what if the driver did not notice me?

3. I realized that God did have a plan for us, he is always with us. With this plan, we can choose the right path. Do you think you have a great plan? Well, God has a better one.

1.    These are the steps I'm taking to improve my Spiritual Immune System as a person. When praying, connect yourself to our God because we can connect to God through a faithful prayer. Put God at the center of all of our decisions. With God, all decisions are correct. Be a son of God by sharing all the good things that God does for you. Sin is everywhere, so avoid committing sin and obey God's commands.

2. It is my personal experience as a 7-year-old. My family does not have enough money to purchase certain foods. Because we didn't eat for a day, the members of the family are starving and exhausted. I saw both of my parents crying inside the room, and my sister was trying to ask my mother if we had any food because she was hungry. God sent someone to show my family that he is present everywhere. God sent my Auntie to my house with food for the entire family. That was the first time God demonstrated his power to my family. Even in our darkest hour, God's grace is present. Remember to trust him because God has a better plan for us.

3. After the Lenten recollection, I realized that Jesus is our savior from all the sins that we have on Earth. He gives up his life to improve the lives of his sons. God's love is unconditional, and he can do anything for his beloved sons. Instead of putting your trust in other people, put your trust in him.

1.  I  can strengthen my Spiritual Immune System in many ways. Ang some of those are Bible study, prayer, meditation, and spending time in nature.

2. I feel God's grace everyday. Each day is a blessing we get up to bed do our everyday routine in good health. When I was in 2nd grade, I fell on my bike, I almost got injured and I had a bruise on my left knee it hurts so bad I have a competition on the following day, but thankfully it was fine. Without God's grace, I might not be able to join the competition.

3. My realizations/ insights after the Lenten recollections are; Jesus came down to earth to save us from sin. He died for us to live. Lent is to remind us about God's unconditional love for all of us.

My favorite part, made me think of all the things I missed for 2.5 years.

1. I can strengthen my spiritual immune system by holding on to my faith and keep on hoping that God's plan for me is greater. It will also help a lot to have a constant communication with God through prayers. Attending mass and hearing His teachings is a big factor for boosting my spiritual immune system.

2. Actually, there is no moment in my life that I don't feel God's presence in my life. He is always around me protecting me and nurturing me to be a better person. There is this one time that I felt God's grace in my life. My family was traveling and our car got hit from behind. If it wasn't for God's grace, it could be a major accident. But with God's grace, it's just a minor accident, we weren't hurt. Just a few scratches on the paint and bumps on the back of the car. I strongly believe that God protected us that day.

3. My realization in the Lenten recollection is that God's grace is infinite. His love for His children is unconditional and He would always protect and nurture us no matter what. I wouldn't be the person that I am today if it wasn't for God's graces and blessings. He has plans for me and I do believe that whatever happens in the future, no matter what obstacles and hardships I will face, no heartache will cause me to falter in my faith. Because I have strong faith, that My God only wants me to learn from my mistakes, to be a better person worthy of eternal life. With God's grace, I believe I will be successful in overcoming life's struggles.

1. There are a variety of methods on how i can strengthen my spiritual immune system. One method is to constantly have faith in God. Another method is to stay away from sin. Praying on a daily basis can also help strengthen my spiritual immune system.

2. I felt God's grace when i was in grade 2, I fell down the stairs. I thought i would have a major injury because i got hit in the head. Luckily, it wasn't a deep wound, it was near my eyebrows and i think that this is because of God's Grace.

3. After the Lenten Recollection, I realised that it is always good to give than to receive. God will always be good, he has a plan for us so we should always trust and have faith in him. Compared to what God sacrificed for us, our problem is not comparable, so we should never give up.

1. One thing I can do to strengthen my spiritual immune system is to continue to pray every day as Brother Andreus recommends. Another option is to keep his commandments as I grow in my knowledge of his teachings. Sharing your blessings and wisdom with people who are willing to learn and be taught can also help to build my spiritual immune system. Finally, I will continue to pray the rosary every day and participate in Holy Mass alongside my family.

2. I'm experiencing a lot of God's grace at this present time. As time passes, I'm gradually seeing that all of my previous manifestations are slowly accumulating and building up. I realized that God doesn't always give you exactly what you desire, but he does provide you with the seeds, or pathways, to bring your manifestations to life. I can already see the seeds of my past manifestations; all I have to do now is nurture and develop that seed. Every time, he makes me believe that he is truly present and listening.

3. One thing I've come to learn is that there is always a better route ahead of us. If this moment isn't right for you, then for sure there will be a greater just for you already written in God’s plan. Secondly, there is always a blessing in exchange for the sorrows you are facing. You simply need to take a step back and consider the bigger picture of the problems that are bothering you. Similar to Brother Andreus' past experiences, which he shared, the girl he met in UST was not for him since it was not his time yet. Why not trust God with our lives? He knows who we are and what we have become.

# data[].attributes.body
1. There are numerous ways in which I can strengthen my Spiritual Immune System. One of which, is to pray, like what Brother Cosio said. I can strengthen my Spiritual Immune System, by using my gift, to inspire others. This gift, is my talent. Singing, indeed can be done through many ways, and as part of the Catholic Church, i will continue to sing worship songs during the mass, and talk to God, each day, starting from when I wake up, and ending when I will rest.

2. November 2014, I was diagnosed with Dengue. The process of which wasn't very easy. I was separated from my family, from the ICU, and I took baths on the bed. I was losing my appetite, and mostly ate Hospital food. I was alone for many weeks, and was surrounded with doctors and nurses. I was very weak, until my grandmother visited me, and prayed to God, while I was sleeping. That time, I felt God's grace. God gave me another chance to live. With an early age years ago, I didn't really understand what was happening. But with God's help, He was able to save me, and strengthened my faith in Him. And for that, I am very thankful.

3. After the Lenten Recollection, I realized that I shouldn't take my life for granted. This life is so special. This life that I still have my mom with me. I realized that there is nothing bad about helping, because helping is a way on how I can show that I see God as my role-model. I also realized that Good karma is there, what you have done to others will always, and always come back to you. Lastly, I realized that God s always with us, may it be through thick or thin.

1. I can strengthen my Spiritual immune system by always praying to the Lord and always obeying His commands. I will always put my faith in him at all times. Also, by also reading the word of God even through the internet. In addition, by listening to the priest in the Holy Mass celebration. Lastly, by always sharing and doing good deeds to other people, especially my classmates and the needy.

2. On March 23, 2022, I experienced God’s grace because He gave me everyday blessings and graced me to have and live a healthy, wonderful life despite the pandemic with my family, relatives, and classmates virtually. He also provides me with grace by giving my very supportive mother another year in her life because today, March 26, 2022, Saturday, is her birthday.

3. My realizations and insights after the Lenten recollection is that we always need God’s grace, salvation and blessings in our lives because without Him we are nothing in this world. As a student, I also realized that as a student I need His help and guidance as I study my lessons and do all my tasks. I also need God as a teenager because I need his infinite wisdom and protection as I grow up in life.

1. I can strengthen my Spiritual Immune System by always praying to the Lord. And have faith in him always

2. I felt God's grace when I was just a little boy. When I slip and fell in the bathroom I could have died because I hit the back of my head first. But God quite literally saved me from that, because it only hit the skin part of my head and not the skull itself which could have been fatal.

3.  I realized that God has a great plans for us. Even though at times you think you are in the right path, God has a better one for you.

1. I can strengthen my Spiritual Immune system by praying, as Brother Andreus suggested. Other ways like attending the Holy mass every Sunday and praying the Holy Rosary every night can strengthen my Spiritual Immune System.

2. There was a time recently that I feel that everything will fall around me, I feel so down and depressed. I was about to give up when I tried praying at that time. And that's where I felt His grace. If weren't for it, I think I am not here wherever I am now.

3. I realized that God has a plan for us, a specific plan that will help us to choose the right path. I also realized that God will never be tired of giving us grace.

1. One thing I can do to strengthen me is to pray and believe in my self. That everything is possible if you are willing to do it.

2. I have experienced God's grace when I was in need of help.  Three years ago, my niece choked.   It was night time, so nobody could hear us that much.  But when me and my sister cried and prayed for help, miraculously my niece passed that stage of her life and later to be found out that it was just a normal seizure.  And another time I've experienced Gods grace was when me and my sister was on a boat, the waves got higher.  The boat that we were riding on was so close from tilting over but when I prayed to God to make the waves stop, the waves suddenly started to calm down and we got to our destination safely.  And another one is when me and my family had Covid-19. Me and my niece were isolated away from our family. We would sing songs all night and wake up late. And everyday we would pray to God to heal us and it took us a month to recover but the good news was that me and my family were safe.

3. My realization in the "Lenten Recollection" is that we have to be grateful for what we have. God will always be with us in every path and choices that we make. And lastly we always get privilege and consequences in the end of the day.

1. I could strengthen my spiritual immune system by praying every day.

2. When I was a little kid around 6-8 years old, I was chased by a dog. This happened several times already but by God's grace, I was never bitten. If those dogs have chased me down I would get a lot of rabies vaccines or worse die.

3. I realized that God has a greater plan for us. We pray and God gives us a greater way to be able to receive what we want. And that God loves us that he created and save us.

1. To strengthen my Spiritual immune system based on the sharing of Brother Andreus, I must pray to God and continue that positive attitude of mine to fulfil my goals in the future just like from what Brother Andreus shared about his experiences. Have faith with the almighty father for us to learn that all things happen will not cause you to accept failure but to make you prepared and the things you wanted all along will eventually happen in the midst of your life in this World of pleasure and success.

2. The time wherein I experiences God's grace when I was in the midst of failure and humiliation by the people who didn't understand my situation from all the disappointments I've been through, it was when I am being hatred by my own teachers for the reason that I was naughty and it was since grade 1 - 3. They saw my acts that I am too energetic and made them believe that I have problems in my mind. I became first in my class and I was proud back then but some of the parents of my classmates were gossiping that my mother paid for me to be first at my class. I asked my mom about it but she didn't do it. From what I understand about those days of mine, it shows that I do not deserve that because I was too energetic or being like someone who doesn't look that smart and being born from a poor family. Do you think being like this doesn't deserve any awards, I didn't cheat but my classmates did and their parents say that I don't deserve it because I was born from a poor family and acting like an autistic child? Days after that recognition, I went to the church and prayed to God, I got this perseverance to continue my hard work even though those rich kids were trying to bully me for some reason. Time has passed and I'm nowhere at UST, I understand that those days of hatred will eventually disappear and at least, I continue my passion following the path of my goals in life and I believed that those days, someone was with me and that was God all along.

3. From what I realized in the Lenten recollection, our life changes, our life doesn't actually face the same happy situation but it can turn out to be the opposite. Our goals can't be reached if we don't do anything or didn't face problems. God is always with us as long we believe that he was there. I'm a student and believe that success is too far to be reached yet and I need to keep on going the way with my passion for God's salvation and the goals I wanted all along in this life of mine. It always seems so near but it is somehow out of reach, I know I can't get it if I didn't do anything.
