It is like a habit. After a hard days work, that is the first think I look forward too. After a meal with the family it is straight to that. </p><p>Don’t get me wrong, I still exercise restrain, making rules for myself. For example, no phone during meal times; no entertainment during working hours. But is it disconnecting me from my relationships? Do I put on hold my time which is supposed to be dedicated to God or my close ones?</p><p>In the meantime, there was a message circulating on WhatsApp that I want to share here.

You will be glad to give her your time, your activity, your efforts. No labour will be too painful, no enterprise will seem impossible. If you find yourself with a Marian task beyond your strength tell yourself you cease to love her. He who haven’t suffer for her has never truly love her. He has merely love himself through the consolations she has given to him. Do not refuse to suffer because you are refusing to love. Do not merely accept suffering, love it.</p><p><br /></p><p>To love more and more, always put into practice these 4 things</p><p>A) Accomplish your 1000 little days duties and sacrifices with the greatest possible love.</p><p>B) Do not cease to study your Mother e.g books about her privileges , permission, life and lives of those who serve her.</p><p>C) Live constantly in union with her. You cannot live in intimacy with her without finding her more lovable and without love her more day by day.</p><p>D) Ask of Me the grace of Loving her. Ask and you shall receive. Ask during Mass especially in Holy Communion.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>My Ideal, Jesus Son of Mary by Fr E.

Prayer” by Mr. Martin Jalleh was held on 11<sup>th</sup> September 2021. This was a continuation of the previous
week’s session on <span style="background: white; color: #202124; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-highlight: white;">“Paradigm Shifts” and Making Choices</span><span style="color: #202124; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #202124;">The session began with the participants listening
to the song “Our Father” by Don Moen instead of the usual Praise & Worship,
followed by an opening prayer. </span>The
session was indeed inspired by the power of the Holy Spirit and Mr. Martin
Jalleh imparted his wisdom and knowledge to all that attended the session. He took us on a spiritual journey, making us
think of prayer in a very “creative” way and the sharing’s in the breakout room
sessions were beautiful as it was very interesting to know how everyone of us
understood prayer differently.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">Mr. Martin Jalleh shared that praying does not need
to be boring and something that you “have to” do. However, it can be an enjoyable and
meaningful experience that one can look forward to and all that one needs to do
is have a change of mindset in prayer.
It is vital that we need to learn, unlearn and relearn to adapt to
changes. The journey is not about us searching
for God but God searching for us, as mentioned in 1 John 4:19, “We love,
because He first loved us.” Yes, to have
an intimate relationship with God and it is in our brokenness that God can use
us as His instrument. Therefore, we need
to pray to be beautifully broken. In our
time of darkness, it is not a waste or a punishment, but it is there so that
God can plant his seeds to grow and his bulbs to flower.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">He also further shared that one needs to realise
that saying prayers is not enough and that we must become prayer, prayer
incarnate. All of our lives in
everything that we do must become a hymn of adoration, an offering and a
prayer. We also need to know that sometimes
God answers our prayers with a “No” and to trust that God gives us what we need
and not we want. That itself is sometimes one of God’s greatest gifts. He mentioned that prayer is a steering wheel
that directs the right path through life and not a “spare wheel” that one uses
when in trouble. Our prayer can sometimes be a simple “Thank You”. At times, there is a need to embrace the
silence in prayer as it is pure and holy, for not only when one is comfortable
but still can sit without speaking, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 3:10, “Speak,
Lord, for your servant is listening”. In
another reference, as mentioned by Archbishop Desmond Tutu “Communion with God
is about trying to grow in just “Being” there.”</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">He had shared as well that the rituals of a relationship
with God is based on faith, facts, feelings, fortitude and faithfulness. One needs to believe that God is preparing us
for something better and we must trust in His plans, as mentioned in Jeremiah
29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future”.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">Mr. Martin Jalleh had linked our Blessed Mother
Mary as the perfect example of someone who believes in the power of prayer
despite the many trials and tribulations. She trusted God’s plan and remained focus, as mentioned in the “Magnificat”.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">The session ended with a closing prayer and the
participants listening to the song “Thank You Lord” by Don Moen.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">Below a take from Mr. Martin Jalleh’s session,

and the suspension of the “live in weekend”, CHOICE KL (English) Team had come
up with a creative way in keeping the spirit alive in CHOICEES amidst the
challenges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have organised a series
of talks by Mr Martin Jalleh, </span><span style="background: white; color: #202124; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-highlight: white;">who has been actively involved in diverse
ministries in the Catholic Church for the past 40 years. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;"><span style="background: white; color: #202124; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The third session “Paradigm Shifts” and
Making Choices was held on the 28<sup>th</sup> of August 2021. This session began with a spirit filled
Praise and Worship that leapt into an insightful, captivating and eye opener
introduction by Mr Martin Jalleh</span><span style="color: #202124; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">. <span style="background: white; mso-highlight: white;">The sessions were creative, knowledgeable, and interactive. Those who attended the sessions had also
benefited from the breakout room sessions and personal sharing’s. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #202124; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">The
session focused on the way we see something, our point of view, the frame of
reference, belief and perception.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sometimes, assuming the way we “see” things is the way they really are
or the way they should be and so it is like a map in the head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A change can only happen when one begins to
see things in a different leaf.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can
happen suddenly and sometimes gradually.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The talk was indeed a very interesting concept, as mentioned in Romans
12:2 “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of
your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and
acceptable and perfect.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hearing and
knowing the personal sharing’s as well on how one could make a paradigm shift
and decisions in relationship with others and in prayer life had given a different
dimension and understanding. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It had sparked
a light and steered the hearts of everyone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Here
were some of the testimonies, “The session was really beneficial and a great
reminder to become more self-aware in guarding our thoughts from negativity and
biasness. To spend time in prayer and contemplation in renewing and refreshing
our spirit.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another remarked, “It
lighted back my flame that is struggling to stay bright”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Those who are in great love can relate to this - to no longer able to see the loved one after tasting his ineffable love is an agony for the heart.</p><p>- Maryam of Bethlehem -</p>J.Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01150947794781548773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342297525558630508.post-64602178679444690322021-01-29T01:55:00.000+08:002021-01-29T01:55:14.644+08:00Reflection #1<blockquote><p> <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.53px;">What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own immortal soul</span></p></blockquote><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 28.1px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;">Matthew 16:26</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;">Mark 8:36</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;">Luke 9:25</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 28.1px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;">I noticed that I sometimes get distracted with what this world has to offer. How many of us try to seek the pleasures of life, working hard for one material thing or another. My guilty pleasure is entertainment after a hard day at work. I even know of a person who went as far as to say that the catholic church is too rigid and we should be free to take whatever the world gives us, to do whatever makes us happy.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 28.1px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;">While it is also essential to meet my material needs, is God still in the centre? Have we lost our faith? If He loves us so much, why did He have to give us the pandemic which had destroyed our normal way of life?</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 28.1px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;">Or should we take this time as an opportunity instead? Whatever free time we have now, instead of trying to entertain ourselves, why don’t we work on preparing our soul for God. No matter what we have accomplished, only our immortal soul matters. If only we can reflect back on our life and relationships and then seek to do penance. This pandemic year has actually been God’s mercy. It is our last chance to act. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;">St. Alphonsus Liguori gives us a good reflection on the <a href="https://youtu.be/CakG6sZqDM4" target="_blank">anguish of dying Christians who have been negligent during life about the duties of religion. </a></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CakG6sZqDM4" width="320" youtube-src-id="CakG6sZqDM4"></iframe></div><br /><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 23.5px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 23.53px;"><br /></span></p>J.Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01150947794781548773noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342297525558630508.post-89984512724577389572020-06-06T18:02:00.001+08:002020-06-06T18:02:08.704+08:00CHOICE SERVICE TEAM MEETINGS<br />

Weekend of the year, which was scheduled to be held on the 1</span><sup style="font-size: 14pt;">st</sup><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> of
May 2020 due to Covid-19,</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> the CHOICE
English KL Service Team has adapted to a “New Norm” of having our meetings.
Yes! We have been communicating virtually.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt;">We have had two meetings via Google Meet so
far and on each meetup, we discussed certain topics that were randomly
selected yet closely related to our CHOICE weekend retreat topics. The sharing
of the topics were really good and interesting as not all of us have the same views.
It was a way for us all to get to understand, know each other a little better
and build a stronger bond, despite not being able to have our regular meetings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The turnouts for the meetings have been
good. However, we would like to have more people joining us. Therefore, I would
like to encourage all of you who have not been able to attend the virtual
meetings to try to make an effort in doing so when you can, as you may find it
spiritually uplifting and perhaps some chicken soup for your soul.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The meetings are usually held on Thursdays,
from 8.30pm to 9.30pm. If the meeting is confirmed to be held on that day, a
link will be provided.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All you need to
do is click on the link and join.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, we
will be looking forward to seeing and knowing you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I believe that this is a great effort
initiated by the Choice English KL Core Team to bring the Service Team together
to keep the spirit of CHOICE alive in our hearts and the burning desire to
serve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
One day.. A boy was walking down the street... Cold, wearing torn mittens, shoes worn out, and legs shivering in the winter cold..He reached a diner where he saw families sitting and having their pre-Christmas dinner with lots of food, drinks, laughter and most importantly.... Love. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He stood at that diner for a long time until the supervisor saw him staring at his customers... </div>
<div>
He rushed out, and told the boy.. "you little brat.. Move away from that window.. Ur scaring my customers"..The little boy then in shock just looked at the supervisor while his lips were shivering and said "b..bb..but sir I was just looking at how cozy and warm it is inside".."may I come in.. Please"..? asked the dirty scruffy boy.. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Little Boy has been sleeping by the dump yard and under the bridges...He smelt like a street cat and had not taken a shower for a long time.. "come inside... No!" Said the manager... As he closed the blinders and told the boy to go away... Little boy, continued his journey and came to the main road of the busy bustling town.. As people were rushing to do their last minute Christmas shopping and some people were rushing to get home to their families, Little Boy just stood and looked at the beauty of the city... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With all the lights and all the snow and how beautiful his town was, every year at this point of time little boy loved being in the city. But then, </div>
<div>
he remembered this same time last year... The painful event that had occurred at that very busy city junction. Teenage girl was trying to cross the road, trying to cross the road to get to little boy"s side.. So she could feed him for the night...As Teenage Girl was crossing, an oncoming taxi runned her down as the driver did not realise she was going to cross... Little Boy saw that accident and was in shock.. He couldn't believe his eyes as people rushed to help Teenage Girl. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The taxi driver who hit her just drove away and did not stop to help Teenage Girl..Little Boy was helpless as he saw his dinner all splattered on the road.. Teenage girl had brought him his favourite soup from the shop where she had been working.. Hot basil soup..Teenage Girl held out her hand to little boy and by the time he could grab her hand... Little boy saw Teenage girl's life go in a split second....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Little Boy was confused... He did not know what to do..And where to go, he had just lost his one and only family member his sister. He did not know how to live in this concrete jungle... And he did not know where they lived and how to gey back home. Little Boy lost his home on that day.. And he had to sleep and fend for himself in that city.. He had to eat from scraps he had to sleep in fear every night...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Suddenly, little boy felt a jolt.. Like someone calling him.. As he realised it as all a dream..a passerbyer was calling little boy.. "hello, hello" Young Man said to little boy.. "would u like to cross the road"? Little Boy with a small smile said "no sir, but I would like some food"..Young Man smiled at him and said... "sure man, I will get you your food" Young Man then asked Little boy "What would you like to eat"? Little boy answered "Basil Soup Sir." Young Man while walking stopped and looked at little boy.. "Basil Soup? your in luck son, I was just going to get myself the same thing" as Young Man walks with little boy they reach the soup place.. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Little Boy is happy and has a big smile on his face.. Young man n little boy order the bowl of basil soup..As they receive the bowl... Little Boy says to young man.. "Sir, can we say a lil prayer"? </div>
<div>
"sure little boy" said the Young man. Little boy looked down at the bowl of basil soup, he teared and he said, </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: red;">God.. I want to thank you for Young man, I want to thank you for this bowl of Basil soup and I want to thank you for My sister, teenage girl...Amen..</span> </i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Both, young man and little boy start to enjoy their soup.. As time passed by.. Little Boy wanted to use the bathroom.. As little boy walked towards the bathroom, the manager of the soup shop recognised little boy... Few moments later after little boy came out of the bathroom, the manager headed to the table where little boy was sitting..The manager then says.. "Are you little boy" ? Little boy says.."Yes Sir, I am".. "how do u know me?" asks little boy..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Manager looks soo happy when he found little boy.. He pulls little boy towards him and gives him a big hug the manager said "teenage girl used to work in this soup shop and every night she would bring your favourite basil soup back for you" When Teenage girl took the basil soup the night of her accident to little boy.. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Few hours before that she had purchased a ticket and that ticket showed that she had won certain amount of money.. When manager knew about this and went to teenage girls house, he got to know about the accident.. He was trying to find little boy all over the city but it failed.. He could not find him.. Manager has been looking for little boy for almost one year...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Manager then brings little boy to the back of the shop.. Where there was a small memorial stand setup for teenage girl.. And her picture was there.. Little Boy cried and cried with happiness and hugged manager.. And thanked young man for bringing him to that shop where Teenage girl was working.. Little boy prayed for change to his life everyday before stepping out of his card box home to find for food.. Everyday he prayed for a better life for food in his stomach.. And for better clothes.. And to go to school again..His power of prayers everyday finally had brought him to this soup shop... Little Boys prayer was answered on that day... 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moral of the story: In the most desperate of times, in the most difficult of times nothing can ever be a greater support to us than our very own prayers.. The power of prayer if you believe it, even in the size of a mustard seed. It works wonders.. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5S1d_DvC5aA/XoqmTDCoL4I/AAAAAAAACZI/68BrP0gAAwwiA6MvKiUEs7rzYpCqanlgwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2020-04-06%2Bat%2B10.49.30%2BAM.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="806" data-original-width="1080" height="295" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5S1d_DvC5aA/XoqmTDCoL4I/AAAAAAAACZI/68BrP0gAAwwiA6MvKiUEs7rzYpCqanlgwCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2020-04-06%2Bat%2B10.49.30%2BAM.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">A couple of days ago, I had read on
Facebook about an Italian couple who were nurses and had been called back to
work in their working place, to aid with the increasing number of the
coronavirus cases. Maybe some of you may have read the story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Anyway, this couple had two
children and they had to leave them with their parents. As the number of
coronavirus cases had been increasing day by day, the couple soon found that it
was impossible to even see or talk to each other as they were running up and
down treating patients.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Finally, for a brief moment they
had the time to look at each other's eyes, probably wondering and having
conversations in their minds telepathically like, “When will we have the time
to be together again”, “When can we see the children and spend time with them
again”, etc.. and they both pulled down the mask they had on and exchanged a
kiss. Then without wasting time, they put it back again to carry on with their
work. Little did they know that their parents had also caught onto the virus
and had passed on while they were working.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>No sooner after that they both had caught on to the virus as well and
passed away, not knowing that the day when they exchanged the kiss, was the
last time they would see each other alive. A picture of this couple was taken
when they pulled down the mask to exchange the kiss amidst all what was
happening around them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">This story really moved me and I
found myself in tears. Their story is an inspiration for those who are called
to the medical line especially those frontlines. Guess, the day when anyone
decides to say "Yes" in becoming a doctor, nurse, pharmacist or
anybody in the medical and service line, was the day they were called in their
jobs to a lifetime of service bringing Christ’s love to others without
realising it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">When I used to tell my friends who
had chosen the medical line as a career path that they had made a lifetime
commitment to their jobs, they would either nod their heads listening to my
thoughts or have no idea what I was talking about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could understand that answer as some of
them only chose that career path, as their parents told them too. Of course, it
would be different if they had chosen that career path on their own. Then, it
would mean that they had a deep desire in wanting to help and cure people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Today, with our current situation
and all that we are facing especially with people contracting the virus, they
do need all our support, prayers, encouragement and strength. Every day is a
challenge as they watch people heal and die. It's not easy, because just like
us, they are human beings. It is important they know that they are cherished
and loved always as they may not come back alive. If you can't see them, I
would encourage one to send a text or What's App message or even call when they
are off duty to these people, if you do know them personally. I’m sure that
they would really appreciate it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
never know its little things like this that keep them going.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 233.9pt;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Likewise, we should also try to do
this for our family, relatives, friends and etc.. during this season of LENT.
We should not only try doing it because of LENT but for always.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am sure that this Lenten experience is
something different for all of us. With all of us not being able to participate
for Mass and Way of The Cross as a community, it opens our eyes and makes us
appreciate being able to go to Church daily and during the weekends to receive
the Eucharist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For me personally, I
missed serving at church and seeing the people that I used too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The wanting of hugging them and saying,
“Peace Be With You” or “How Have You Been? I missed my friends and the Choir
practices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps, God is telling us
something. Are we really listening?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
we go through this movement control order, I believe it’s a good time for us to
reflect on ourselves and be better persons not only to our loved ones but to
the people around us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a time of
grace for us to be closer to God through prayer, to reconcile and forgive as
well, so that we can experience God’s love, peace and joy in our hearts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>May we also take the time to meditate on the
Word of God which is the food for our soul, so that our actions can bring the
love of God to everyone and we can light each other’s candle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pray as well that God will give us the
courage and strength to go through this stormy period and His mercy be upon us
all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="font-weight: bold;">KUALA LUMPUR:</b> Three different Catholic Myanmar community homes in the city welcomed Christmas with carols sung by the youths from CHOICE English Kuala Lumpur (CEKL) on December 22. With the Extraordinary Missionary Year 2019 drawing to a close, this outreach was held in line with one of the four dimensions called upon by the Holy Father, to undertake missionary charity among the poor and the marginalised as a commitment with the whole Church.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First on the list was the Lai Catholic Community of Malaysia centre in Jalan Sungai Besi. The youths were warmly welcomed by the catechist Steven, together with his congregation of over 30 members. After a short prayer session and several carols, the youths were treated to a surprise when members of the community responded by singing a carol in their native language. When asked about the significance, they explained that the lyrics were about their continued faith in the Lord and the hope of their people for a better future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second centre visited was the Zutong Community Chapel Centre (ZNCC), located along Jalan Loke Yew. The youths were greeted by the many happy faces of mostly young children, whose parents had yet to return from their workplaces. The community leader Sebastian, showed his talents on the keyboard as both he and his congregation danced and sang along with the youths in joy ful unison.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The third and final visit was to the Zaniet Catholic community, a home comprising of five families. The youths were warmly hosted by David, who was lost for words trying to explain his joy at meeting the carollers. A year ago a number of youths from CEKL had been by to sing carols for them and he was very grateful that they had kept their promise to return this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of the youths were taken in by the generous hospitality and humility possessed by the migrant communities, who continue to keep the Lord in their hearts despite their daily trials and tribulations. “We plan to make this into an annual event,” said Andrew Arul, coordinator for CEKL. He has also earmarked similar outreaches as part of the their regular MAD (Make a Difference) projects. — <i>By Steven Raj</i><br />

<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;"><i>When I decided to attend this retreat, I didn’t know what to expect and just went with the flow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was amazed and found the
sessions conducted by Kumar and his wife Monica were very enriching and
involved most of us to use our heads to think and digest.</i></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">The phrase
“Be Still And Know I’m Here” which he mentioned during the session caught my
attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then when we were given
some time to be alone with ourselves on the second day, taking deep breaths,
hearing the sound and seeing the waves crashing into the shore, I felt really
calm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Still, considering</span> the many distractions and
noises present, it was hard to stay focus and listen to my inner voice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The session made me understand how important
it is to take time and be alone with myself and God. Finding that <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">inner space and willing to let go of the</span> "noises" in my life. These "noises" can often be a distraction and lead to self-sabotage at times. I am learning to trust my instincts, not always hearing and doing what people say when faced with challenges
and making decisions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also discovered how
important it is to know myself and to relearn what I have been taught.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Then, when we're doing the “Treasure Hunt”, it taught me how important it is to work as a team
despite our many differences in the way we think, react, do things, knowing our strength,
weakness and acceptance of one another. Also, t</span><span style="line-height: 150%;">he bonding time at the beach and BBQ opened my eyes to see the importance of family. Yes, being a family after a long day, having some leisure time, walking, playing futsal on the beach, swimming, taking pictures, sitting, eating, chatting, laughing, singing and listening to music by the campfire. For me, that is what a family is all about, the sense of togetherness.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Fr Gregory
session on “Christus Vivit” (Christ Lives) a Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation
on Young People based on a guide written by Pope Francis was very informative.
It helped me understand my call as a youth and to embrace that call
in the church whether by way of service, religious or matrimony.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> The importance of forgiveness, building bridges, to communicate when there are disagreements and misunderstandings instead of posting it on social media. </span>It was exciting
to know as well from the scriptural point of how God views youth to inspiration
from the saints to practical<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>advice.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">On the second day during one of the session, Archbishop Julian Leow had surprisingly dropped by for the retreat. His Grace shared a little about himself and one of the things that he went through as a student while studying in Australia. I thought that was something I could relate too. Such a wonderful feeling to have His Grace sit with us, come down to our level and simplifying things in a way that we can understand.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Overall, the retreat for me was really amazing, and I indeed "Relived" my CHOICE Weekend. It had left footprints in my life. Hope that CHOICE KL would organise more retreats like this in the near future as it is a great way to build spirituality and bring CHOICE'S together. I would like to thank the organising committee for taking the time in organising this for us. May God Bless You And Your Families Abundantly.</span></div>

Greetings,<br />
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
My journey to choice was something unique to me. I always wondered on why the other choicee's would tell us to not expect anything or don't anticipate what's going to happen. Thus i went with an open mind and open heart to accept the experience that was about to befall upon me. </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Upon going through the entire ordeal I realized so many hidden cracks in my life. I realized everyone that comes here are just like me. Struggling to understand life's journey, as we all embraced Jesus and allow God to navigate our lives, we learn to live within our means and harden not our hearts to be open to the world.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
I am ever grateful to the everyone who had cross paths with me during this journey. It was one that has rejuvenated the spirit within me and allowed me to continue my devotion towards God and his people.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Cheers </div>

and local residents was truly a memorable experience. I personally want to thank the staff for being so welcoming to us and for allowing us to share with solidarity, the spirit of Ramadan with our fellow Muslim brothers. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">After giving out the bubur we had a short briefing to familiarise us with Islam and we were also invited to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>break fast with our Muslim community at the Masjid. B</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">efore the buka puasa, the Imam first introduced us to the community following which prayers in rememberance of the departed were conducted. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Delicious food were served including sirap Juice,Tom Yum &

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Like most Christians, I was taught that almost all feelings are unreliable and not to be trusted. It is true that some Christians follow their feelings in an unhealthy, unbiblical way. It is more common, however, to encounter Christians who do not believe they have permission to admit their feelings or express them openly. This applies especially to such “difficult” feelings as fear, sadness, shame, anger, hurt, and pain. And yet, how can we listen to what God is saying and evaluate what is going on inside when we cut ourselves off from our emotions?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">3. Denying the Impact of the Past on the Present</span></h2>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For years, I was under the delusion that because I accepted Jesus, my old life was no longer in me. My past before Christ was painful. I wanted to forget it. I never wanted to look back. Life was so much better now that Jesus was with me. I thought I was free.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I will never forget the first time we made a genogram—a diagram outlining some of the patterns of our families. It revealed that our marriage bore a striking resemblance to that of our parents’. Even though we had been committed Christians for almost twenty years, our ways of relating mirrored much more our family of origin than the way God intended for his new family in Christ.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The work of growing in Christ actually demands we go back in order to break free from unhealthy and destructive patterns that prevent us from loving ourselves and others as God designed.</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Work <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">for </em>God that is not nourished by a deep interior life <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">with </em>God will eventually be contaminated by other things such as ego, power, needing approval from others, and buying into the wrong ideas of success and the mistaken belief that we can’t fail. We become “human doings” not “human beings.” Our experiential sense of worth and validation gradually shifts from God’s unconditional love for us in Christ to our works and performance. Our activity for God can only properly flow from a life <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">with </em>God.</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perhaps one of the most destructive myths alive in the Christian community today is the belief that smoothing over disagreements or “sweeping them under the rug” is part of what it means to follow Jesus. Jesus shows us that healthy Christians do not avoid conflict. His life was filled with it! He was in regular conflict with the religious leaders, the crowds, the disciples—even his own family. Out of a desire to bring true peace, Jesus disrupted the false peace all around him. He refused to spiritualize conflict avoidance.</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The pressure to present an image of ourselves as strong and spiritually “together” hovers over most of us. We feel guilty for not measuring up, for not making the grade. We forget that not one of us is perfect and that we are all sinners.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Bible does not spin the flaws and weaknesses of its heroes. Moses was a murderer. Hosea’s wife was a prostitute. Peter rebuked God! Noah got drunk. Jonah was a racist. Jacob was a liar. John Mark deserted Paul. Elijah burned out. Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal. Thomas doubted. Moses had a temper. Timothy had ulcers.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And all these people send the same message: that every human being on earth, regardless of their gifts and strengths, is weak, vulnerable, and dependent on God and others.</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was taught that good Christians constantly give and tend to the needs of others. I wasn’t supposed to say no to requests for help because that would be selfish. The core spiritual issue here relates to our limits and our humanity. We are not God. We cannot serve everyone in need.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why don’t we take appropriate care of ourselves? Why are so many Christians, frantic, exhausted, overloaded, and hurried? Few Christians make the connection between love of self and love of others. As Parker Palmer said in his book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001C34LL8/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; text-decoration-line: none;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: normal;">Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation</em></a>, “Self-care is never a selfish act—it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This has always been one of the greatest dangers in Christianity. Sadly, we often turn our differences into moral superiority or virtues. By failing to let others be themselves before God and move at their own pace, we inevitably project onto them our own discomfort with their choice to live life differently than we do. Like Jesus said, unless I first take the log out of my own eye, knowing that I have huge blind spots, I am dangerous. I must see the extensive damage sin has done to every part of who I am—emotion, intellect, body, will, and spirit—before I can attempt to remove the speck from the eye of another (<a href="http://www.biblestudytools.com/search/?t=niv&q=mt+7:1" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; text-decoration-line: none;">Matthew 7:1</a>–5).</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 20px; padding: 12px 0px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">God, as I look over this list, the only thing I can say is, “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Thank you that I stand before you in the righteousness of Jesus, in his perfect record and performance, not my own. I ask that you would not simply heal the symptoms of what is not right in my life, but that you would surgically remove all that is in me that does not belong to you. As I think about what I have read, Lord, pour light over the things that are hidden. May I see clearly as you hold me tenderly.</span></em></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><b>That is the question, is it not? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now the participants of Choice were given a few topics on which we were to stage a play and this was the topic given to my group. One can only imagine the teasing which took place when our peers realized that this was the topic given. I mean how does one stage a play on sex ? It took me awhile to think of a story-line, a few days of musing before I finally decided that I would write a story on relationships of which Sex would be its main theme. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wrote a story on the heartache, grief, and triumphs of one girl who overcame an abusive relationship of which her boyfriend had attempted to coerce her into having sex with him and when she refused, he began to cheat on her. Now why did I write the story this way instead of perhaps touching on other issues such as prostitution etc ? Its because through my own experience and that of others I have come to see that so many of us have experienced deep sorrow and anguish in the relationships we have been in. Many then who watched this play of ours might be able to relate to the characters in the play for more likely than not would they have found themselves in a similar position before. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-33oNxV-5TxQ/W_axu8CwkzI/AAAAAAAAE4Y/uHWclir_NUc_GLI_nWHOJrV-MSf-5lAOwCEwYBhgL/s1600/Mother%2BMary%2BWatching.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="266" data-original-width="494" height="344" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-33oNxV-5TxQ/W_axu8CwkzI/AAAAAAAAE4Y/uHWclir_NUc_GLI_nWHOJrV-MSf-5lAOwCEwYBhgL/s640/Mother%2BMary%2BWatching.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mary our mother is always there for us!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I developed the characters, they became real to me. The girl in my story, I needed to ensure that she would convey a very important message to my audience, the message being while we love our partners with our whole hearts, once there is some form of abuse or cheating, its okay to walk away, its okay to put ourselves first, and most importantly it is okay to say no. Be it man or woman, whoever exercises their right to say no to sex, no one can or should attempt/ force them to change their mind. Sex should be between two consenting adults who trust each other, where such intimacy is used as an expression of love. We need to all understand however that before we can love others we need to love ourselves first and sometimes that would mean walking away from the ones we love. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I strongly believe that God has a plan for us all. Our failed relationships teaches us important lessons on life and how we wish to be treated. I for one can say that I’ve emerged a stronger and wiser woman. I’ve grown and overcome many trials that have come my way and looking back I see now what I could not see then, that is, no one will have it easy in this journey called life. How we deal with our problems will determine how successful we eventually are. Hence, to sum it up, my play was a story of a young girl and how she overcame the crosses in her life.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To my readers, spare me a few more moments of your time as I touch ever so briefly on 3 other plays that took place on that memorable day. The other groups were given topics on belonging, masks we wear in our daily lives as well as reconciliation with our past mistakes. Boy must I say all performed splendidly. I watched my close friends pretend to be thugs, police officers, waiters, each and every one of them told a story so befitting to the topics given to them. The way the plays were staged left me in stitches, to say I was howling in laughter would be an understatement. Truly engaging and entertaining were they. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I noticed as well that each of us staged a play on relationships, be it relationships with our peers, our families or our significant others. That made me realize that so many of us face the same struggle, the struggle being how do we mend the brokenness in our lives and relationships? Well that is the real question is it not? And while I do not have a definite answer to such an important question as yet, what I can say I learnt from friends and facilitators at Choice is that we’re all a work in progress. We try and fail and try again to mend our relationships and what counts is that we keep trying. At the end of the day its okay to not be okay for in this chaos that is life we have been lucky to have found a group of like-minded people to support us in our struggles and celebrate with us during our triumphs. I thank the Choice team for encouraging us to stage these plays for it has brought us all just that much closer.</div>

Often we sometimes tend to lose ourselves..our way on how we truly are as an individual<br />
<br />
That was how my life was ....ever since I lost myself.<br />
<br />
I was dealing with a different person within myself and no matter how I tried, I could never find my true self ..that funny bubbly girl that I am.<br />
<br />
For a couple of years I begin to find ways to gain my courage and begin looking for myself. My mum found this article on Choice and advise me to go.Thus packed was I and off on my way ..<br />
<br />
As the days pass, I begin to slowly discover my true self and sooner the same me begin to arise from the depths of the ocean. I started to feel the same person I was.<br />
<br />
After Choice weekend, I begin to feel the changes immerging inside of me..I was becoming the same bubbly girl and slowly tearing the mask I was wearing . It was a change that I had long for a long time<br />
<br />
Now, even though there are still some time in which reflection and comforting feeling passes my mind..but through it all, I am happy that finally the really me has a chance to shine again and not be close by grief and sorrow that I had once battle. I am heal and ready to embarked on future adventure with my newly met friends and the people I love.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I wish for all those out there , if you are facing a time in which life seem bleak and that you feel the world is on your shoulder, always remember , there is a friend nearby who is always standing by listening and when you call, Jesus will always be there , watching and guiding you.<br />

He has brought us together as a family for a reason and now it is time to journey with one another. The relationships we now have are not a one off thing, following which we disappear but it is meant to be a someone we can belong to as we go through the ups and downs of life together.<br />

<br />
If Choice was the reset button for you, it was only the beginning and not the end of this journey. There are always two questions that comes to mind when forming a bond with your CEKL batchmates. Are you willing to get to know a person? Are you willing to share your life with others? Don't let the sharing stop with Choice but continue to grow with one another. Sometimes it is only a matter of picking up the phone to call.<br />
<br />
And now... tadaaa...... this is what we did after Choice...<br />

<b>Finally, we end with the following testimonials from our CEKL102 Choicees: (Thanks Charlotte for compiling them!! 😉)</b><br />
<br />
At first I couldn't be asked to go, and then my mom had a serious op that week and lagi i didn't wanna go, but when she came out from ICU she made me go in the end!!! . I came with a very heavy & distracted heart... At first on friday night, it was still hard for me to open up & share but, it got better along the way.. Many emotions came upon me in that 3 days, never thought I would feel moved with waterfalls gushing down my cheeks. To sum the 3 days I had there, I just felt light, in that short while I actually felt happy 😊 But the best thing among all were the people.. I went there and met strangers, strangers who became friends, and friends that became family ❤ - <i>Ralphie</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Coming with an open mind and heart gave me the chance to experience and take away what I needed most from this CHOICE weekend. Feeling part of a bigger family! - <i>Gary</i><br />
<br />
<br />
It was a life changing weekend, a weekend that brought many hearts together and created a sense of belonging..rest is a secret that has to be experienced physically and not through reading these words - <i>Debby</i><br />
<br />
<br />
An eye opening experience that made me think what I’ve missed in life and moving forward what I should b doing with my life! Thank you CHOICE 102 - <i>Emiliene </i><br />
<br />
<br />
Personally I loved it.. I get to connect with new catholic friends as I never had catholic friends after confirmation.. makes me go church more as I have some friends to go with now - <i>Dezmond</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Attending Choice 102 is the most life changing experience I've ever had! I am now closer to God in prayers and church thanks to all the take home messages I have learned from the programme. I want to be a better person now and I am so thankful to Choice. - <i>Anita</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Earlier I had a big question in my mind whether joining choice program is necessary as my schedule was packed. After joining choice my life began to bloom again. I made the right choice and there is no regrets for it. If you have the choice join choice program to create miracles in your life. Cheers - <i>Catterine</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
After Choice weekend, there has been a lot of reflecting and questioning. It was a weekend where I found myself exactly where I was when I first confronted my issues 7 years ago. This struggle was so real! I was not contented by the state of my current life. However, God had redeemed me and I accepted this invitation to search within myself again. I managed to received this huge grace of healing by attending this weekend! I was finally prepared to be still and to enjoy being in the company of Jesus. - <i>Jacinta</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
I have always had the impression that CHOICE was where you go and find a partner. But was I wrong. Coming to choice was the best decision I’ve made thus far this year. The experience and the people I’ve met only for 3 days I now call family. It has brought me close to God and I would like to thank the team for making this a great and wonderful experience. To know CHOICE you have to experience it yourself. <i>- Brandan</i><br />

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e_aPmiujwlw/W5e3fCAkzpI/AAAAAAAAE1M/Bja_1pl2F5An5OKX1jMBFtPP1PzIcBQsQCLcBGAs/s1600/sin-and-forgiveness.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="303" data-original-width="400" height="242" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e_aPmiujwlw/W5e3fCAkzpI/AAAAAAAAE1M/Bja_1pl2F5An5OKX1jMBFtPP1PzIcBQsQCLcBGAs/s320/sin-and-forgiveness.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This particular bible verse caught my eye today and I thought of sharing:<br />
<br />
<i>"So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven--except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Matthew 12:31, Mark 3:28-29, Luke 12:10</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
So what is actually blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? In Catholic teaching there are six sins that blaspheme against the Holy Spirit. They are:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Despair </b>(believing that one's evil is beyond God's forgiveness);</li>
<li><b>Presumption</b> (glory without merit, that is, hope of salvation without keeping the Commandments, or expectation of pardon for sin without repentance)</li>
<li><b>Envying the goodness of another </b>(sadness or repining at another's growth in virtue and perfection);</li>
<li><b>Obstinacy in sin </b>(willful persisting in wickedness, and running on from sin to sin, after sufficient instructions and admonition);</li>
<li><b>Final impenitence</b> (to die without either confession or contrition for our sins);</li>
<li><b>Impugning the known truth</b> (to argue against known points of faith, and this includes misrepresenting parts or all of the Christian faith to make it seem undesirable)</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Going through the list, it sounds like those sins a person does not have any insight they are committing. </div>

<br />
Greetings to all Choicees. I just wanted to share a story I have recently heard...<br />
<br />
A protestant pastor was talking to a catholic priest one day and he was very curious about the Eucharist. The pastor who was a very devout man of God asked the Catholic priest if he really believed the teachings of the catholic church that the Host was the real body and blood of Christ and not just a symbol. The priest was puzzled at this question and inquired further...<br />
<br />
The pastor then said that, if he were the one who believed in the real presence, by now he would be crawling up the aisle to receive GOD.<br />
<br />
I feel that sometimes the way we conduct ourselves in mass, like being indifferent, distracted and failing to show our reverence, it is as if we don't truly believe that God is really present in the Eucharist. I am equally guilty of denying God like Peter did 3 times before the rooster crowed. Everything becomes just like a lip service.<br />
<br />
We need to prepare ourselves thoroughly, body, mind and spirit before receiving Him or meeting Him in the Blessed Sacrament. We must acknowledge and confess our own sins and wash our linen clean before inviting Him in. That is why non-Catholics or Catholics alike who do not believe in God or his presence in the Eucharist cannot receive Holy Communion.<br />
<br />
In a recent homily, the priest also explained why in a row of Catholics going up to receive Holy Communion, the level of graces for each of them is not the same. Some get lesser or more than the others. It depends on the condition of your heart at the time. The secret is to adopt the DHL graces delivery service: D - Detachment, H - Humility, L - Love.<br />
<br />
I think like in the parable of the sower, my current condition is like seeds falling among the thorns, getting choked and are struggling to mature. Kudos to those who already have good soil. But for those who are like me, let us strive for DHL and spend more time with God.J.Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01150947794781548773noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342297525558630508.post-48298925568090471392018-07-23T17:54:00.000+08:002018-07-30T23:00:32.786+08:00First Recruitment & Coffee morningLast weekend was our first recruitment & fruitful Fund raising event for 102 in Assumption PJ.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">1) what is choice to you?</span><br />
Choice to me is about exercising the free will that we have been gifted with. And at CHOICE, you will be making them.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">2) Share your experience or one moment you like being away from kl. </span> <br />
Just the idea of being somewhere new is interesting to me.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">3) If St. Peter had a pet dog, what would its name be?</span><br />
Dog<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">4) What would you say to the single adults who are interested to join CHOICE</span><br />
As the program is tailored to young single *adults*, you will be expected to have lived a little and to approach the programme with maturity. But as the name of the programme says, Make the Choice. And expect to gain from it.<br />

<span style="color: #93c47d;">1.what is choice to you?</span><br />
A weekend filled with new fond friendship and self discovery.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;">2. Share your experience or one moment you like being away from kl.</span><br />
I have always liked life away from the city center. Getting in touch with nature is part of re - what we may have lost and hoping to gain back once again.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;">3. If St. Peter had a pet dog, what would its name be?</span><br />
Bernard<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;">4. What would you say to the single adults who is interested to join CHOICE</span><br />
Come with an open mind. Zero expectations, because you never know what might be coming to you.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>It started like this: when I arrived, I was welcomed by wonderful and cheerful faces that made me feel very welcomed. On the first day, I got to meet many new faces. I felt no regrets meeting everyone and it was amazing, as we journey together for this 3 days. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I felt so happy, blessed and excited of what's going to happen next. I got to experience the presence of the Lord during this journey. I took this three days to actually find out things that I was yearning to know. The talks made me reflect in every area of my life. As the last day ended it was sad to say goodbye to all my new friends I got to meet.</b><br />

<b>Sharing this time with people who share the same faith was great and the friendship that was built is wonderful. I am truly glad I went for Choice. </b><b>If I could turn the clock back I would still want to join Choice again. It was the best choice I made... no regrets.</b></div>
