MY   EXPOSURE   IN   GUIMARAS

First and most I thank God for this wonderful opportunity that He had given me to have this exposure as well as i am grateful for my community for giving me this chance. And for the community of Guimaras for accepting and supporting me during my exposure for three months.
                        As i was send to Guimaras community, i could have a nice and meaningful exposure. I could learn many things such as community life, prayer and the mission. Though i was been long time in the community which is as formation house, it is very different from mission house and formation house. I could learn different aspects from each one of the sisters as they live their daily life.
                        As i was given chance to be in the school i could also be with the people specially the students i really enjoyed my days being with them as one with them.
                        I was also touched by the people and nature. I would say that the people are really needed of our presence and availability to be with them, and they are also ready to help us when we are need of their helps.
                        I had a good exposure in the community as well as outside with the people.
I would like to thank for all for your prayers and support.
May God bless you all
 Thank you

TWO MONTHS EXPOSURE  IN ZAMBOANGA COMMUNITY


            I am Silvia Luzinha da Conceicao, a 2nd year Novice, doing my exposure in Zamboanga community, and I wanted to share with you all my joy that I experience.

            On the 2nd day of August, we arrived at Zamboanga, known as a dangerous place. At the beginning when I arrived, I have different feelings arises after another: feeling of nervous (what will I do here or what will I speak), feeling of fear (thinking what will happen to me specially every time in the news we see people died here and there), the feelings of worry, and the feeling of lonely, but yet above all I had that feeling of athomeness and the joy within me makes me to fight against the feeling that I had that time.

            I could say that I was so much enjoying there with all the activities that I had; the community activity such as: together with other congregation we have reach out “to the elderly”, and first week of the month we have prayer together with other congregation, and the activity in the our dorm: every Tuesday I accompanied our dormitorians for Rosary and every Thursday we have our bible sharing with our dormitorians……it was meaningful and at the same time also very challenging for me. And one activity that I attend is that launch together with student of Ateneo to share about vocation, it was done every year so I have the chance to attend it was so nice and inspiring, listening to each other vocation journey. Those activities make me that even days, weeks and months past I could not feel anything. Though I was the only one who had my exposure there but I was not alone, I am supported by so many people specially our sisters in different communities. This supports was one of my strength that I lean on and that make my exposure meaningful and wonderful. I thank God for His abiding presence in my life, and I thank Him also for giving me this opportunity I learn many new things and relearn what I have learn. I thank also our sisters in different communities specially Zamboanga community, Guimaras community and of course Quezon City community who continuously supports and encouraging me during my exposure, and I know also there are other communities are also supporting me maybe not directly but through their prayers, thank you so much for each and every one of you. On October 10, I arrived in Manila.

            Maybe only this that I could share with my experience with you!!!

GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

GREAT TIME IN GUIMARAS



EXPOSURE EXPERIENCE

            First of all, I thank God for giving the opportunity to have an experience about the life of the Claretian Sisters in the mission house. I did my exposure in Guimaras Community; in this place our sisters are doing their mission in education.  In this exposure of mine, I have learned many things, which those things are helping me a lot in my journey toward Him. Among those experiences that i had, i would like to share my experienced on how to join “Action and Contemplation”. Yes…as a followers of St. Antony Mary Claret and Ma. Antonia Paris these two things are needed, because these they did before.
            Seeing the life in the mission house, especially how to join action and contemplation, I just see on how the sisters in their tiredness and busyness, they still spent their time to have a special moment with God in their community prayer, personal prayer, and recollection as well. It was touched me so much, and challenged me as well on how i need to spend my time to be with Him in spite of my busyness and tiredness.
            All these experiences of mine brought me into a deep reflection on hoe the important of prayer life is.  Prayer is spring water for us, and in the prayer we will be able to do our mission because with Him we can do everything and apart from Him absolutely nothing.
            These experiences of mine, inspired me and invites me as well to build more my prayer life, to have deeper intimacy relationship with Him, so that i am able to do whatever He asks from me.

NEW SEEDS OF VOCATION IN INDONESIA


Last August 2015, we were excited to welcome our four new aspirants who wish to be”Claretian Sisters”. Three of them are from Atambua, Timor Island (NTT) and the other one is from Kendari, South East of Sulawesi where our mission house is. What a joy to have them with us. The community becomes alive with their presence. Therefore, the community will try its best to help and walk with them to know, love and find Him in everything. Let’s remember them in our prayer that they may have a joyful journey as they open a new page of life in Him through our Claretian lifestyle.
