    Five Moments with Mark's Jesus Retreat Conferences for YCS Students of College Level
    (Tangaza University College, 2006) Njeru Thathi, Abel
    My dear friends, we have set aside these five days of reflection and prayer because we want to make something out of our lives. Anyone who wants to make anything out of his or her life, whether in the mission of the Church or in the social- political and economical arena, must at one point or another make a 'decision of decisions'. It does not matter at what age in life one makes this major decision, but the decision must be made. Based on this decision, one then is to direct his or her life in such a way that this decision is fulfilled, and God is glorified. For us Christians, especially we who are going through these Moments in our retreat, such decisions must guide us to know God more intimately, serve Him in others, and love Him, that in the end of our earthly life we may have a reason to want to be united with Him in the life to come. If we miss this goal, we have missed a reason of our life. This conference, which I call Moment I, will help us to focus on Christ at a moment when he made his fundamental decision to be at work to fulfill the will of his Father. We will walk with Jesus of Mark's Gospel. At the end of this Moment, we will be able to evaluate our standing before God, and be able to give our life a new direction if that is what the Spirit wills for us. May God help us and guide us through this Moment.
