PART I: My LEARNINGS

This was the best spiritual program in my life. There were too many graces to write in
here. My life is more peaceful; Christ is more real. I have precious little time or money to afford
a solitary traditional retreat setting for a few days or a week. The graces were shown to me as my
wholeness to know that my change to find my purity is found in my courage and will for me to
change. I am 17 years old and still in progress. This retreat has taught me so much. I feel like I
have just grown---like I'm becoming the person I'm supposed to be. One of the biggest
differences has been learning to understand my patterns--my motives. This retreat has greatly
improved my prayer life, and the way I feel and am committed to my relationship with God and
the Church. I felt like I put a moderate amount of effort into this retreat, and yet it was the
vehicle through which God's grace touched me the most this year. Maybe someday I will be able
to enter more fully into the retreat, and I can only tremble to think how God would then touch
me. Thank you for being a part of my life and my journey. I made some major changes in my life
this year, partly because of this retreat. I have gained a better understanding of my relationship
with God. I feel more joy because I feel closer to God and I know I can rely on Him more rather
than on myself. I started this retreat at a very difficult time in my life and it has given me comfort
and courage to face my future. Thank you for having these resources available. This retreat has
made a difference in my life by increasing my longing for Christ. I received the graces of greater
health, deeper joy and ability to put God first. I would probably not have had an opportunity to
make an Ignatian retreat -- and probably would never had any exposure to the Spiritual
Exercises, other than in books. We used it for prayer each week. the presentation is so lively, the
topics are given in present-day appealing language. Enough is said with simplicity and clarity
and there is repetition in another form to ensure the message is understood. On the other hand, I
have noticed that his powers were a bit confusing and was not explained further how it works or
how it affects the surroundings. It only explained that the surrounding you are living can be and
can’t be affected depending on how you deal with it. Certain happenings can be changed and but
some are not.

PART III: My PLAN OF ACTIONS

Retreat gave me what I need fro me to change these realization of mine. Motivations
came from the experiences shared by bro. salongga which I know made him the best
motivational speaker. the courage to face all the challenges that I might encounter. The
discipline that I need the most in order to do all for it.
I will use what I learned in this experience of mine. I will not waste this opportunity for
me to become the better me. Afterall, god will always provide as long as I am doing something
and I trust him with all things that I do which I guess is enough already.
