Abstract
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.
