HAPPENING NOW | SESSION 4 OF THE ANNUAL RETREAT OF MARYHILL COLLEGE PERSONNEL
The Maryhill College community continues its journey of prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal in the fourth session of the Annual Retreat, guided by our retreat master, Rev. Fr. Joseph Mendoza.
This session brings us closer to the comforting image of Christ as the Good Shepherd, through the words of Psalm 23:
โThe Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.โ
In the journey of life, we are reminded that we are never truly alone. Just as a shepherd lovingly guides and cares for his flock, God walks with us, leads us, provides for us, and restores us when we are weary.
ยซโHe leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul.โยป
Our reflection reminds us that love requires commitment. โBawal mag-mahal ang tamad. Ang pagmamahal ay hindi basta-basta.โ True love calls us to care, to persevere, to serve, and to give of ourselvesโnot only in our personal lives, but also in our mission and relationships within the workplace.
And as we pause to look at our own journey, we are invited to ask:
Saan ka galing?
Saan ka pupunta?
At sino ang huhusga saโyo?
There may be many judgments and standards in this world, but ultimately, our deepest accountability is before God. There is no perfect measure on earth; the final judgment belongs to the One who knows our hearts, our struggles, our intentions, and our entire journey.
May we continue to trust the Shepherd who knows the way even when we cannot see it.
May He guide our steps, calm our hearts, restore our souls, and lead us toward a life of faith, love, service, and purpose.
๐ The Lord is our Shepherd. We may not know everything about the journey, but we can trust the One who leads us.
Renewed in faith. Guided by love. Walking with the Good Shepherd.
