Fernando Ocariz) en-us 2023-08-05 09:12:52 UTC 2023-08-14 11:44:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/2101704663/9d761eea21c4092abc8617b3e8387f69/Slide4.JPG https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2656636840 "We should not fear when there is love in our hearts". Such is the message that is imprinted in me by the Father. It is a good reminder that loving God means keeping our faith even in the most trying times of our lives. It validates as well my favorite words from Mother Theresa - "Doing small things with great love."]]> 2023-08-06 07:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2656636840 macegomez17 https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2656643847 The warm welcome was truly amazing considering that it was the first time the majority of them met him. The family spirit is palpable :)]]> 2023-08-06 07:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2656643847 https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2656651457 Visit of the father is a very blessed day for me, not because it's my first time joining this kind of event but also, because I gained a lot of take aways from the q&a portion. Indeed, we need to trust God's process, learned to heal alone with God, and be open to love, for the love to others is the key to happiness. Lastly, miracle is not just an instant magical situation, rather it's within our everyday routine, by simply waking up is a miracle and being alive and still surviving in this world is a miracle too. That's why, we, people must be always grateful to our God.]]> 2023-08-06 08:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2656651457 https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2656676571 2023-08-06 10:34:47 UTC https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2656676571 https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2657060790 2023-08-07 06:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2657060790 https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2657848136 I consider it such a blessing that most of our World youth day contingent was able to attend the get-together with the Father in UA&P, a day before our trip to Lisbon! How heartening it was to see him respond to women's questions and his answers resonated with me also in a personal way. What I liked most is how he said that the person who is afraid does not know how to love, which urges me on to continue with the daily struggle for holiness!]]> 2023-08-08 08:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2657848136 https://padlet.com/macegomez17/vv1i5bl5zumrursy/wish/2657919565 Indeed! Found myself teary eyed at some portions. God is so good! Blessed to have been there! 💖🙏
