1. I can strengthen my "SPIRITUAL (Immune) SYSTEM" by feeding myself with God's love and grace. Furthermore, building a solid relationship with my loved ones through the Lord's guidance may allow me to gain a strong Spiritual System. 

2. Some experiences wherein I feel God's grace were moments when I am experiencing both joyous and melancholy days. For example, I feel joyful because God gave me countless blessings and loving relationships. Regardless, when I feel lonely and lost, God continuously guides me and supplies me strength to go through every challenge I face.

3. I realized many things after the Lenten Recollection. Some of these are, first, for me to feel good about myself and life experiences, the change and action should start with me. Second, we do not eliminate temptation, but we flee away from it by choosing God's grace. Lastly, the ability to love is the most beautiful blessing that the Lord has bestowed upon me.]]> 2022-03-26 05:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2114601981 Corpuz, Angela Juliana R. https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2114614189 1. I can strengthen my spiritual system by trusting God. Most of us fail to feel God’s grace for we always think of receiving and not giving. It was mentioned by Bro. Andreus that we should also share and provide God’s grace with others as much as we can.

2. I have had some experiences wherein I have felt God’s grace. Whenever I get stressed out in doing academic-related tasks, there is something in me that doesn’t seem to give up despite all the hardships that I am experiencing. In these situations, I always feel like God wants me to pursue for He knows that all my struggles will bear fruit in the future.

3. After the Lenten Recollection, I have realized that there are also different ways in which God can bless us. It may be through others, through Him directly, or through our own selves. As much as possible, we should be the ones sharing our light with others, and no matter how many times we avoid sin, it will never be effective if we do not do good things. We should put in mind that God is always there to forgive us and we should do the same to others.

I can strengthen my spiritual immune system by expecting the least from God. When we ask for things from God, we should not base it on our own expectations. Instead, surround we should surround ourselves with people who truly love us so we can face God's plan together. God likes to plan many things away from what we expect so we must strengthen our spiritual immune system in order to finish all the challenges we face and incur new realizations as a Christian.

2. I have experienced God's grace during the 4th grade of my life where I contracted all 4 strains of the Dengue virus. It took me a while to recover but I received God's love and grace through my family members who cared for me as well as the doctors who worked tirelessly to speed up my recovery.

3. In life, there are many ups and downs. But saying "I trust God" isn't enough. Sometimes, we should look to what we already have like our family, friends, and colleagues who truly care for us. Let us learn to be grateful for what we have. Use our possessions to be a blessing for others. And make sure that we put into action when we say "I am a Christian".]]> 2022-03-26 06:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2114622447 Mariano, Raphael Joseph https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2114626866 1. The spiritual immune system is a conceptual system that we, Christians, should also take care of and nurture to ensure a healthy spiritual relationship. To build this healthy spiritual system, we must trust God and maintain stable communication with him. As Christians, we must realize that it is our responsibility to maintain and build our trust with God and the only way to do this is by honest communication with him

2. During this online setup, it is not uncommon to see students struggling with their deadlines and the tasks that keep piling up. Whenever I feel pressure and stress from these tasks, I calm and relax, silently ask for the determination to pursue my tasks, and continue. I believe that God is my aid to remain determined to accomplish my tasks so that after my struggle, I can finally gather the fruits of my labor.

3. I realized after the lenten recollection the importance and abundance of God's blessing to us. It is something that is so discreet yet so impactful in our daily lives. He aids us in our daily lives and in our struggles. He protects us from the temptation lurking between each corner, ready to grab us. I have truly realized the importance of God in our life and how impactful he is to our present and future.]]> 2022-03-26 07:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2114626866 Punio, Jodee https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2114728198 I can strengthen my spiritual immune system based on the sharing of Brother Andrues by putting faith in God. Most of us are unable to sense God's grace because we are constantly focused on receiving rather than giving. We should share God's mercy.

One example of some experience wherein I feel God's Grace is every day. Whatever I feel I know that I always receive God's grace. But I really feel it whenever I am stressed out when working on academic assignments.  I always feel that God is with me giving me his grace.

After the Lenten Recollection, I realized that there are a variety of ways that God can bless us. It could be through anybody. It can be through you and me or everybody. So I think we should be the ones sharing our love with others as much as possible.]]> 2022-03-26 10:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2114728198 Oliva, Meg S. https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2114844056 1.) Faith is the primary antidote against a weakened Spiritual Immune System. In order to strengthen mine, I must learn how to feel God’s presence in seemingly dismal and hopeless times. It can be difficult to believe that God is with us; always watching over us and guiding us onto the right path, especially during unfavorable circumstances. Through the session with Brother Andreus, I am able to realize that we should be able to put our trust in the Lord, because He will never let us down or leave us hanging. 

2.) Ever since the pandemic took over our lives, I have not been at my best in an emotional and mental sense. I had hit a slump, and I had lost the motivation to do anything; even things that I otherwise enjoyed doing. It took a while to get back on my feet, and even to this day, I still struggle a lot. Nonetheless, I am able to feel God's grace throughout this journey, albeit not physically. I experienced His grace through the people who care about me and helped me in every step of the way.

3.) Through the Lenten Recollection, I have realized that God has a plan for each and every one of us. The Lord works in mysterious ways. More often than not, we do not realize this, because we are caught up in what we want and what we do not have. At the end of the day though, we must trust God to be our compass and our guide through the seas and mountains of uncertainty. ]]> 2022-03-26 13:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2114844056 Brisenio, Edlyn Rose A. https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2115255547
  • As a Christian, I can strengthen my “spiritual (immune) system” by ensuring that I have an intimate and positive relationship with our Almighty Father. In the darkest moments of our lives, let us search for His name and ask for His guidance.
  • I always feel God’s grace in my everyday life. As simple as waking up every day, I am able to feel the blessing He bestowed upon me. Even in my lows and highs, He still manages to pour be with abundant graces.
  • After the Lenten Recollection, I realized that we can lose all of the relationships we have, except with God. He is the one who will guide us in our journey in life. We can nourish our relationship with God by communicating with Him every day. He will always be our light in our dark path.

    • ]]>     2022-03-27 04:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2115255547     Dacanay, Rogelio Jr. E. https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2115518935 1. From the sharing of Brother Andreus, I can say that I have really learned so much about keeping my faith and trust with the Lord. In order for me to strengthen my Spiritual Immune System, I have to fully believe and appreciate God’s presence and grace in my life. Also, I have to share these grace and blessing with the people around me, as to build and surround myself with much more positive relationships.

    2. Every day in my life, I always feel like God continuously showers me with His grace. Especially during this pandemic, problems and challenges occurred in my life. I often feel stressed and burnt out, but I was still able to feel His grace pulling me up and providing me strength.

    3. From this Lenten Recollection, I was able to gain learnings and realizations, starting from the mass, up to the session with Bro. Andreus. Having this kind of program really helped us to reflect and prepare for the Lenten season. Furthermore, I’ve realized that during this time of the pandemic, nothing else should prosper other than our faith and love with God. He blesses us and gives us grace in many forms, may it be through signs or other people in our lives.]]>     2022-03-27 12:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2115518935     Yecla, Precious Day A. https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2115604434 He talked and opened a lot of topics. From his past relationship, how he cheated on a test, and he also talked about his mom. I felt inspired and feel blessed. He went from a lot of pain and heartaches until he could be someone who could genuinely share his experience to inspire others, like me. I can strengthen my spiritual system by learning and reflecting on what he said. He was consistent with his ex, he was honest when he cheated on a test, and he was strong when we were with his mother in her last hours. I also want to be genuine and be kinder.

    Every day is God’s grace. I wake up, still alive and healthy. I eat three meals a day. And I socialize well with other people. I am free to go to any place I want to go to relax my mind. But most importantly, I am safe from all my everyday problems because of what God gives me.

    After the Lenten Recollection, I realized that I just need enlightenment. I was able to adapt to new learnings. And I was able to reflect on my actions through the mass. Wherever we are, God is always there for us. He makes us stronger and guides us to continue our journey. We will never know his plans for us, but He will not let us be in a situation we can’t handle.]]>     2022-03-27 14:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2115604434     Sophia Errych Chloe M. Lopez https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2116602245 1. I can strengthen my Spiritual Immune System by continuing to be faithful to God and following his words. As well as not being too greedy with what I want when praying. Surround me with people in my church who can guide me when I fall off course and into sin.

    2. This happened last year or the year before that when we had to bring my dad to the hospital because he was sick and had a stroke. When they came back my mom said that the doctor said he could have cancer. Like, very bad cancer, because of smoking and drinking. I felt God's Grace when they came home from the hospital and my mom said it wasn't. Sure, he was still sick but I'm happy that he isn't in a very critical condition.

    3. There will be times when life strikes hard and is unforgiving, but we need to stand firm in our faith in God and not give up. Life is cruel, I can not deny that, but there are times when it decides to be good with the help of God.]]>     2022-03-28 07:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2116602245     Gabe, Francina Sophie N. https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2116723222 1. I can strengthen my Spiritual Immune System by accepting God's grace and love in my life. This grace relies on the relationship of trust within me and God. With this trust, I have the capability to learn of giving thanks to the Lord for the blessings he has given me. Thanks to the Lord for the little or big encounters I have throughout my everyday life that have greatly changed who I am and made me realize a lot of things.

    2. I experience God's grace when I am outside sitting at the park in silence. I feel that silence in a place where I can appreciate things that God has given us like the beautiful sky and its weather and the nature around me is where I could experience God's grace the most.

    3. After the Lenten Recollection, I realized how important it is to keep up with every aspect of ourselves to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I also realized that throughout our everyday life there will be bad times but through trust with God and the right determination to get through, we can achieve a lot of things in life even the most unexpected ones, but we would realize that it is something to be very grateful for.]]>     2022-03-28 08:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2116723222     Flores, Derek Mathew C. https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2117226197 1. My "SPIRITUAL (Immune) SYSTEM" can be strengthened by nourishing myself with the love and grace of God. In addition, I believe that with the Lord's help, I can develop a strong Spiritual System by developing solid relationships with my loved ones.

    2. All throughout my life, I have the distinct impression that God is always blessing me with His grace. A number of troubles and difficulties arose in my life, particularly during this pandemic. I am frequently anxious and exhausted, yet I have been able to sense His grace lifting me up and supplying me with strength despite my circumstances. Despite all of the difficulties that I am currently enduring. In these instances, I always have the feeling that God wants me to continue because He knows that all of my efforts will flourish in the future.

    3. After the Lenten recollection, I came to appreciate the significance and abundance of God's blessings on my life. It is a small detail that has a big impact on how we live our daily lives. Every day and every challenge we encounter, he is there for us. He shields and guides us from all the temptation that is hiding around every corner. The significance of God in our lives, as well as the impact he has on our present and future, has become abundantly clear to me recently.

    ]]>     2022-03-28 13:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2117226197     Paredes, Czarmayne Elyze A. https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2121055228 1.) I can strengthen my spiritual immune system by first, always praying so that my faith will become stronger and have a deeper relationship with our Lord. Second is by always having hopes but not expecting that everything I want will be granted by Him so that I may not forget that he is always above me. Also is to always be sorry for the wrong things that we have done and try our best to follow His rightful ways. And lastly is to be thankful for all the blessings that he has given me so that I may always remember that He is the one who will be there for me always.  

    2.) I can feel God’s presence every day because I feel that I am blessed by Him since I can do things that make me comfortable and happy. I feel God’s presence every time I am silent or every time I am praying because I can feel that I am at peace and safe in His arms. Next is when I am stressed out, I can feel God’s presence because even if I am not doing well, things start to become easier for me because of Him.  

    3.) After the Lenten Recollection, I have realized that everything that happens to us may it be a good one or a bad one is a blessing to us. This is because these things happened for a reason so that we may grow and strengthen our faith more.  Also, there may be times in our life when we may feel alone because everyone around us starts to drift away from us, but let us remember that God will be always there for us so that we will not be alone. And lastly is that God will always be the one who will always guide us and help us in our journey here on earth as long as we do not lose faith in Him.

By placing my faith in God, I may enhance my spiritual system. The majority of us cannot experience God's grace because we are constantly focused on receiving rather than giving. Another point brought up by Brother Andreus was that maybe we should contribute and provide God's favor to everyone whenever and however we can.

    2. I have had the clear impression that God is constantly pouring me with his grace throughout my life. Several troubles and difficulties arose in my life, particularly during the same crisis. I am frequently anxious and exhausted, yet I have been able to sense his grace lifting me and supplying me with enhancing the development of my circumstances.

    3. Following the lenten period of reflection, I realized the significance and quantity of God's blessings upon us. There is something that is so inconspicuous yet has such an impact on our daily life. He assists us in our daily activities as well as in our difficulties. He defends us from all the temptations that hide around every corner, waiting to seize the opportunity to take advantage of us. The significance of God in our lives and the impact he has on our present reality have been brought home to me in a profound way.

    "SPIRITUAL (Immune) SYSTEM" based
    on the sharing of Brother Andreus?

    I can strengthen my Spiritual Immune System by appreciating the graces that God gave to me. That I can be and learned to be grateful that God gives me his graces. That we should appreciate the little things that happened and are given to us. 

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

    The blessing and graces that I received daily. When God gave me another day to wake up is a grace and blessing that God has already given to me. Having to eat daily. There are many encounters in my daily life that God gave me and shows me his Grace.

    3. What are your realizations/insights
    after the Lenten Recollection.

    The realization that I had after the Lenten Recollection is how big God loves us. That he shows us his love in many ways like the graces that he gives to us daily. His way to save us is one of the ways that God shows us his love. We may not feel him sometimes but giving us small blessings and the people around us makes him feel that he is by our side and makes us feel loved and blessed.]]>     2022-03-31 15:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2123867270     Fajardo, Margaret https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2124001240  1. How can you strengthen your "SPIRITUAL (Immune) SYSTEM" based on the sharing of Brother Andreus? 

    I can strengthen my faith based on Brother Andreus's sharing By praying to God every day not just in bad times but also when I receive good news to be able to have a stronger faith, you can strengthen your SPIRITUAL (Immune) System.  so that I won't have to push myself to love Him, but instead will love Him completely. Also, in order to improve my Spiritual System, I would not expect God to answer my prayers every time I pray. Instead, I'll focus on the fact that I'll be patiently waiting for Him to make the best decision for me.

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

    I have a lot of experiences wherein I feel God's Grace, Especially back when I was 12 my knee got dislocated while practicing Arnis for a competition, it got twisted while I was performing and when I touched my knee it has 2 bumps it was my bone and then I got panicked and put it right in place, and after that, I can't walk since the tissues are already torn. days after I just prayed to God to heal it faster since I want to compete in our near competition but I can't since I do have Cast on my legs. But then weeks after the doctor said I can finally remove it, it was hard to walk at first but in God's grace, I was able to compete and won a Silver and Gold medal.

    3. What are your realizations/insights after the Lenten Recollection? 

    I'm absolutely sure that God is good as always, but I am becoming more aware of how God is good. Thank you Brother Andreus for sharing how God is Good. True, God will never abandon us  Even in moments of sorrow and joy, you will be remembered. In addition,  We learned that we are all sinners, that we can do good things but God is the only one who is good. And remember that always trust the Path that God has given us it may have a lot of obstacles but will be worth it.]]>     2022-03-31 16:55:52 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2124001240     Dela Cruz, Stephen Lawrence D. https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2124677460 1 I may fortify my spiritual immune system by praying for the strengthening of my faith and the development of a closer connection with our Lord. To create this healthy spiritual system, we must trust God and keep a consistent relationship with him. We should not rush our relationship with Him because by taking the time to learn more about Him, we may build our spiritual immune system and entirely surrender to Him.

    2. Since the pandemic began, it has been challenging for me to manage the long-distance connection I have with my parents, who work abroad and cannot travel due to travel restrictions. Although it was difficult, I tried to remain patient and positive by putting my parents' safety and our impending reunion in my prayers. I can sense God's grace throughout this journey, if not literally. I saw His grace through the individuals who cared about me and helped me every step of the way.

    3. First, as a result of the Lenten Recollection, I recognized that God has a purpose for every one of us. The Lord works in surprising ways. Second, we do not remove temptation but rather escape from it by choosing God's love. Finally, I should embrace them instead of being terrified of vulnerability and errors. Allow me to be accepted and loved by God and loved ones so that I can love them back. Entrusting myself to others will undoubtedly be a challenging path. I am sure that I can do so gradually now that I am more conscious of myself and want to develop.]]>     2022-04-01 02:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2124677460     Farro, Mary Joy A. maryjoyfarrojhs https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2125540679 1. How can you strengthen your "SPIRITUAL (Immune) SYSTEM" based on the sharing of Brother Andreus? 

    According to Brother Andreus, "In life, it's not about us being good; we're called to be good, but in life, it's not about us showing we're good; it's about showing the world and letting the world know that God is good." This strengthens my SPIRITUAL SYSTEM because it changes my perspective that it is not always about us doing good. We all have different pains, sins, and so on. Even though God knows everything and knows what you did, God still gives us grace, even if we sin. As a result, it strengthens my praying and talking to God, especially at night.

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

    This will be the best grace I've ever experienced. When I compute my grade in a specific subject, I expect to get a high grade, but my computation revealed that it did not meet my expectations. However, when the grade was finally released, I received exactly what I had hoped for. I'm not sure what exactly happened, but I believe that grace was bestowed upon me for a reason. I believe God saw how hard I used to study and how much I struggled in school. 


    3. What are your realizations/insights after the Lenten Recollection?

    I had a fantastic experience with the Lenten Recollection. I didn't find the Lenten Recollection to be boring. I realized that we needed to be open to God. I also realized it was correct when Bro. Andreus stated that we require love and acceptance from others. For me, I prefer to spend my time with my friends rather than with others. With my friends, I felt loved and appreciated. When I was with them, I felt more content. It is also true that the devil attacks relationships with others, as Brother stated. Even if temptations are present, we must not fight them, but rather avoid them and remain united with one another. God removed my exhaustion, not only in academics but also in my personal problems.

    I personally think that I will be able to strengthen my spiritual immune system by being more faithful to God. By being able to have a prayerful life, I will be able to improve my spiritual communication with God which will help me in becoming more guided with my mission as a Christian.

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

    I honestly think that I am able to experience God's grace everyday, and an example of this is the opportunity to wake up everyday. It may be simple, but I am very thankful that I am able to have a chance to live for another day as I always think that life is precious, and that we should take it seriously and live to the fullest.

    3. What are your realizations/insights after the Lenten Recollection?

    I realize that there will be times wherein I will be facing difficulties in life, but I must always remember to give my best and not be afraid of failure. As long as i give my best in my everyday life, I will be able to have a prayerful and faithful life to God.]]>     2022-04-04 02:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2127811666     Escuin, Romyna Anclaire B. https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2131248127 1. How can you strengthen your     "SPIRITUAL (Immune) SYSTEM" based on the sharing of Brother Andreus?

    "Life is not just about showing that we are good but showing the world that God is Good." That statement stuck out to me the most during the sharing of Brother Andreus. I can strengthen my "SPIRITUAL (immune) SYSTEM by humbling myself, strengthening my faith, and knowing that God's love and grace will always be why I am here. We sin, we fail, and we are tempted by evil every day, and with God's love, we will be able to avoid and reject these temptations that can weaken our "SPIRITUAL (Immune) SYSTEM."

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

    I experience God's grace every day. I wake up every day and get the opportunity to be kind to other people, do the things I love, make the people I love my love for them, try new things, and make my parents proud, all because of God's Grace. 

    3. What are your insights/realizations after the Lenten recollection?

    I had a lot of insights and realizations throughout the Lenten recollection. I realized that we have the freedom to choose what we want all because of God; Indeed, God is good. I also realized that we need to humble ourselves and recognize that we are here because of God's grace, and we experience some of the most meaningful blessings he has given every day, which is to live and love.

    One of the most consequential lessons from Brother Andreus was that love is the best immunity against any challenges we face and conquer. This is one of many approaches to boost our spiritual immune system, particularly in these times of trials, difficulties, and faith depletion. God loves us as we devote ourselves to being loving fellows of the Catholic church. We are instructed to love others since through Him; we are redeemed from all wickedness and perils, including the faith-demic that  Brother Andreus said.  He recommended that we do three important things during his address at the Lenten Recollection: remove our masks in prayer, obliterate the space between hearts, and dirty our hands by serving. We can strengthen our spiritual immunity by opening our hearts and minds and allowing the love of God to heal our broken pieces and rebuild our strength and relationship with him despite all our shortcomings.


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

    Life. A simple word, yet a powerful phrase in describing how God graces us with the blessing of breath. Every day in my life, I always feel the gift of another chance to live and another opportunity to strive to be a better person. As a person who treasures what he has, I am thankful for what gives me hope, love, and passion for living my life to the fullest and not taking these graces or blessings for granted. God's love is one of the most gracious blessings I can ever have. It is what fuels me every day to get up and make a difference as a person with the guidance of God and his loving hands.


    3. What are your realizations/insights after the Lenten Recollection?

    Even though human love says, "We are loved till.", God's love says, "We are loved even if." Brother Andreus' message opened our eyes to the truth and realization about how important it is for us to allow God's love to flow in our hearts in our everyday lives. God's love heals our inner self from doubts and faults, wishes to rebuild ourselves, nourishes us, and continues to hold us. God's love is infinite, unquestioning, and unending. God reminds us that we are deserving of love. We are deserving even though He is holy and we are sinful; he looked at us on the cross, recognized our flaws, and died for us regardless. God will always be there for us until the end of time, persisting in loving us and shelving us for his love, kindness, and hope. God's love is both strong and lovely in this way.

Brother Andreus's sharing enabled me to gain a new perspective on how the Lord works to guide us in our daily lives. And in order for my spiritual system to be strengthened, I must have great faith and trust in the Lord. Despite the numerous problems we experience in life, it is critical to have our trust in the Lord constantly and to know that he is with us. By having faith and trust in the Lord, I am able to strengthen my relationship with Him.

    2. During these online classes, I experienced God's grace. Throughout our online setup, I constantly battle to maintain a sense of serenity and optimism in my daily routine. I'm continuously worried about completing my tasks and lose interest in activities I used to enjoy. And in these instances, I believe that God's grace in providing me with hope and motivation enabled me to continue and push through with my studies.

    Following the Lenten Recollection, I gained a great deal of knowledge and insight, particularly from the session with Brother Andreus. It taught me that God blesses us in a variety of ways. God has plans for us, and while we may not be aware of them now, we will be in the near future. We gather a great deal of experience on a daily basis, and we frequently miss how God works in those moments. As a result, we must have confidence and trust in God's constant presence to lead and bless us.

I believe that I can strengthen my Spiritual Immune system by accepting God. I need to fill my soul with the love of God.  Practicing this spiritually and physically is essential to embody the Spiritual immune system.

    2. Everyday we experience God's grace. The opportunity to wake up is already a grace from God.  Also being able to sleep is a grace. Every single moment between waking up and sleeping are all graces from God.

    3. There are a lot of realizations that I had because of the talk of Brother Andreus. What caught my mind the most is that everyday there are a lot of blessings that we do not see. Brother also made me realized how God is so great and powerful. He gives us all the love and blessings even if we sometimes do not reciprocate these feelings. We should also trust God's plan because He has the power and He only wants what is perfect for us.]]>     2022-04-09 10:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2137287995     Dableo, Ronald II. A. https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2143570916 1. Brother Andreus help me by saying that in our journey, we're not alone as God will be always watching us. He shared that strengthening ourselves spiritually will help us fortify our mental and physical health. Having something to believe in and being devoted to that belief will help us seek a reason to move forward and stand strong no matter what kind of obstacle is in front of us

    2. I think being able to wake up every day is one of the best and constant graces that God has given my family and me. Simply having life and seeing my family; spending time with them and what not is more than enough for me to be thankful for.

    3. The recollection taught me that having a source of motivation will fuel our will to survive and go through this pandemic. I also learned to be thankful and content for the things that I received. I think being able to strive and stay strong even despite all hardship will make everything worth it.]]>     2022-04-14 07:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/antoniabeatricee/saintdavid/wish/2143570916
