Languages of Love(22.05.10)

1. Listening (Praying With the Word)

Listen to God Today(03.03.10)

"I regard you as precious, since you are honored and I love you.’" (Isaiah 43:4)

As you take a bible text, read it slowly. God speaks through scripture! He wants to speak to you and reveal himself to you. God thirsts for us to listen and trust Him. God’s Word is a word that speaks today to our lives.

Song: Here I am, Lord, I come to do Your will.

Listen to Your Thirst(02.03.10)

“Come, all you who are thirsty!...” (Isaiah 55:1-11 )

The place of encounter with God is your heart, the core of our being and the place where the Spirit dwells. When we ponder the Word of God in Scripture, we hear a deep echo in the depth of ourselves. God invites us to come to prayer with our own thirsts, the longings in our hearts. Seek, search, look for because you will find!

Songs: Dreams

Preparation(01.03.10)

“Take off your sandals, for the place you are standing is holy ground!” (Exodus 3:1-6)

We need to prepare ourselves so we can listen to God. Our busy lives fill us with lots of worries that can prevent us to listen to God. Take time to recognise that you are before the loving presence of God. Stand before Him with honesty and humility of heart, in faith and trust.

Song: Look, I am standing at the door

2. Conversation (Praying With the Word)

Meeting the Holy Spirit(06.03.10)

"The Spirit personally makes our petitions for us in groans that cannot be put into words..." (Romans 8:26)

Meeting the Holy Spirit is meeting God’s presence living in us; the Spirit leads us to the Truth; He helps us when we don’t know how to pray. The Holy Spirit speaks to us through the scriptures; there is always a unique message to us that stands out, when we read God’s Word. He also enables us to know God, his thoughts, his dreams and will.

Song: Holy Spirit, come down

Meeting Jesus(05.03.10)

“If you only knew what God is offering...” (John 4:10)

Meeting Jesus is meeting a friend and a brother, who was fully God and also fully human. He knows what are the challenges to be human. He passed through many too. He wants to offer us fullness of life.

Song: Into Life

Meeting the Father(04.03.10)

“My son, you are with me always and all I have is yours...” (Luke 15:31)

Meeting the Father is meeting His abundant Love that heals, reconciles and forgives. It is to meet the One who created us out of Love and with an everlasting Love.

Song: First Love

3. Contemplation (Praying With the Word)

Fruitful Ways(09.03.10)

“Father forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34)

We invite you to contemplate how in Christ's life, fruitfulness comes after the cross. Prayer also involves asking God to understand and welcome His ways.

Song: Here I am, Lord

The Power of Grace(08.03.10)

“Power is at full stretch in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

Contemplating how God’s life and love are expressed even through our weakness or limitations. Our humanity is not an obstacle but the way for His Grace to be powerful. Paul’s life witnesses this.

Song: Standing on Eternal Love

Embraced by Love (Eucharist)(07.03.10)

"The Spirit personally makes our petitions for us in groans that cannot be put into words..." (Romans 8:20)

Contemplating Christ in the Eucharist while we pray with the Scriptures, gives us a deeper understanding of the Word. The power of His life constant given for us and for everything He invites me to live.

Song: You Complete Me

4. Take the Word With You (Praying With the Word)

Give the Word to Others(12.03.10)

“As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.” (John 20:21)

Prayer is complete when it reaches out to others. We are called to be witnesses of the resurrection; of His Love that is stronger than death. Like the disciples, we may doubt, but He sends us with the strength of His Spirit, “Peace be with you.”

Song: God still calls

Living the Word(11.03.10)

“My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and put it into practice.” (Luke 8:21)

We are part of God’s family as we know Him and put his Word into practice. This can be challenging but it is also rewarding. We invite you to have the Word as a reference in your daily options, discernments and decisions. Seek for ways you can live what you pray.

Song: Mary, let me hold your Son

Tasting Freedom(10.03.10)

“If you make my word your home, you will be indeed my disciple; you will come to know the truth and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32)

Prayer with the Word leads us to taste a new freedom, that comes from living in the Truth, instead of living under the expectations of others or under so many false/ negative images of ourselves.

Song: If you stand

The Philippines Experience(12.07.10)

Back to the Future(06.07.10)

How do I discern whether something that appears good on the surface is truly good at its core? How do I discern where God is guiding me when I am presented with a situation where amongst several options none are obviously the best?

Hear The Sound of The Spirit(22.06.10)

How do you hear the Spirit in your life? In the Scriptures? In nature? In the events of history? In people? In so many other things...? How do I perceive Him?

Resurrection - This is My Son(04.05.10)

Why do you believe in Jesus? Do you experience that living according to his words and deeds leads you and others to life? What are your main doubts?Additional file :  Session Handout - This is My Son

Resurrection, Hope and Suffering(27.04.10)

Disasters, earthquakes, volcanic ash, poverty, suffering...where is God in all this? Does He abandon us when we are in pain and difficulty? Through suffering there is redemption... There is hope that is real, there is life after death - and we have this certainty in Christ. All we need to do is ask for grace.Additional file :  Session Handout - Resurrection, Hope and Suffering

Doubting Thomas - Resurrection(13.04.10)

Jesus is risen. This is the core of our faith. But does it really affect our lives? We have a difficulty to believe it, so we need to touch our own unbelief. Often the doors are closed. But Jesus meets Thomas where he is at. Lord, what does resurrection mean to me?Additional file :  Session Handout - Doubting Thomas

Who is Jesus 4U?(02.02.10)

Who is Jesus for me? How do I relate to this Jesus?

Immaculate Conception(08.12.09)

We are well made. But something in us seems to go wrong all the time. How I you experience sin at work in my life? What is the message of the Fall? What are those struggles that make me hide from God? How do I perceive God? Do I live things on my own or do I ask for God’s help? How, Lord, can I abandon myself into God’s grace?

Advent Time & Now(24.11.09)

Why are we invited to live Advent? Where am I going? What's the meaning of all this suffering? Where is the place of hope? What are my priorities? How do I use time? Lord, help me to live this Advent...
