As we navigate through the maze of life in this fast changing world, it’s easy to lose sight of the important things that keep us going and help us stay on track. In a world plagued by an epidemic of depression and hopelessness like never before, it’s clear that what the world offers is leading us in the wrong direction. On the other hand, studies consistently show that individuals with higher levels of hope report lower levels of depression and anxiety. High hope is also linked to better st ...

When Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace was published in 1869, his genius was immediately recognized by people all over the world. In the later part of Leo Tolstoy's life, however, he began to share his deepest thoughts about Christianity in his writing. His definition of Christianity was not the same as the priests and bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church where there was so much pomp and pageantry. Tolstoy could care less for all that ceremony. He was a radical follower of Jesus Christ's teachin ...

we are seeking to Gather the tribe of Ephriam and learn to live Gods higher laws so that Zion can be redeemed before the coming of Messiah ben Judah. JST, Genesis 9:21–25. Compare Genesis 9:16–17 21 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant, which I made unto thy father Enoch; that, when men should keep all my commandments, Zion should again come on the earth, the city of Enoch which I have caught up unto myself. 22 And this is m ...

Throughout this retreat, we have touched on various concepts related to the Kingdom of Heaven. Now, let us delve deeper into what exactly this Kingdom refers to, and where it is. As the name suggests, the Kingdom of Heaven is the Kingdom of God, meaning that God, through Jesus Christ, reigns over all creation. Jesus is the King of this Kingdom. Pop…

You may recall that a scribe once asked Jesus, of all the commandments, which was the greatest. Jesus replied: “The first is: ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no other commandment great…

In our reflection on the twenty-fifth day of the retreat, we mentioned that while “hope” may seem small in the eyes of most people, it bears the important role of leading and propelling both “faith” and “love”. It has the power to move people into action. In His farewell message during the Last Supper, Jesus gave His disciples a new commandment: "L…

God's desire is that we may be with Him not only in this life but also in eternal life, and that we may enjoy and receive all that is best. Everything He has done and arranged for us is for our greatest benefit. Since our first ancestors betrayed God, not only did God not abandon us, but for our sake, He saved us through the birth, suffering, death…

Today, let us take a different perspective and look at another stumbling block that hinders us from finding hope. It turns out that another way to test and reveal the extent of our faith and hope is to consider: what do we ask of God? The rich young man came before Jesus and said, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” (Matthew 1…

During the previous day’s retreat, we explored the following questions: “Where do we invest our energy and life? What exactly are we asking of God?” Today, we continue this topic. I hope you still remember that we previously talked about the Gospel story of the rich young man (cf. Matthew 19:16–26). After that story, there’s a short episode that is…

When we build relationships with others, we need to get to know each other. As we continue to deepen our relationship with God, let us also take a moment to reflect on human nature. Although God created humans in His own image, there’s often a clear case of “the goods not matching the label”! This isn’t because God made a mistake, but rather due to…

I hope yesterday’s reflection helps everyone realize that the greatest crisis in the world is not an economic crisis, not an environmental crisis, not a political crisis, nor even a crisis of war, it is a crisis of faith, and more importantly, a crisis of hope. The greatest pillar of this world is the Truth that Christ left behind. This Truth is ro…

Two days ago, we talked about the difference between “optimism” and “worldly hope”, and we took it a step further by analyzing the difference between “worldly hope” and the Christian virtue of hope. When we are young, with fewer burdens and pressures in life, facing life with an optimistic attitude is usually enough. But as we grow older and take o…

During yesterday’s retreat, we mentioned that the world often defines “hope” as a desire for things that can be attained in this life — for example: success, health, or a comfortable life. As Christians, however, we look forward to the Kingdom of Heaven and eternal life as our true happiness. The former is a fleeting kind of happiness, while the la…

In his message for the 38th World Youth Day, Pope Francis described the virtue of hope in this way: “Christian hope is no facile optimism, no placebo for the credulous: it is the certainty, rooted in love and faith, that God never abandons us and remains faithful to his promise: “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil, for yo…

I hope that yesterday’s reflection has helped you to revisit the promises Christ has made to us. Among the four main promises of Christ, most people may focus on or most long for the promises of “salvation” and “eternal life”, while the promises of “God is with us” and “the Holy Spirit” may receive less attention. Let us reflect more deeply on this…

Throughout our retreat, we have repeatedly emphasized that hope is built upon our trust in the promises of Christ. But what exactly do these promises represent? What do they mean to you personally? What comes to mind first when you hear about them? Most of us may first think of eternal life or salvation… but let us explore these promises more deepl…

There was a passage in the reflection from two days ago: "God desires that this true love continue to be passed on through us. What is required is an unwavering hope, a hope that teaches us to be like Mother Mary, who does not question but simply believes, obeys, and follows, all the way to the foot of Christ’s Cross." This statement may cause disc…

On the fourth day of our retreat, we mentioned that "Pilgrimage is a time of conversion and renewal. A pilgrimage signifies not just a journey but a purposeful movement toward a destination and a higher goal.” If life becomes stagnant, it turns into a dead pool of water. It can no longer be called a journey, let alone a pilgrimage. Such a life is m…

Yesterday’s reflection affirmed an undeniable truth: even the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of the Son of God, was not exempt from experiencing suffering and trials in this world. She, too, had to carry her cross daily and follow Christ. In fact, even Jesus Himself, being the Son of God, the most noble King, the revered rabbi, and the long-awaite…

Yesterday, during our retreat, we mentioned that hope must be founded on God's promises. But does this mean that with this foundation, we are free from all challenges and temptations? Let us once again reflect on the experience of the Blessed Virgin Mary. When Jesus was born, there was no room at the inn, and so St. Joseph had to accompany Mary to …

As we begin today's retreat, let us revisit the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1817) regarding the definition of "hope": "Hope is the theological virtue by which we desire the Kingdom of Heaven and eternal life as our happiness" The "happiness" mentioned here can also be understood as the things we long for. Therefore, the intensity of our d…

What is the true source of hope? This should be the ultimate question, not only for this retreat but for our entire life. If this source is only temporary, it certainly cannot be considered the true source of our hope. However, since only God is self-existent and eternal, the true source of hope must be Him. But if this God were not all-good or did…

The greatest characteristic of being wholly attuned to God’s will, besides being able to respond promptly and positively to His call, is to take immediate action accordingly. According to the Gospel of Luke, after Mary accepted God’s invitation to become the mother of Jesus, the angel left her. Upon learning from the angel Gabriel that her elderly …

During this retreat, we have repeatedly mentioned the state of “communion between God and human.” What exactly does this state entail? What are the signs that indicate that we have entered this state? Let us continue to explore and learn through the Blessed Virgin Mary! Why do we use the Blessed Virgin Mary as an example? Besides what we previously…

From yesterday’s reflection, we have come to understand that if we wish to learn from the Blessed Virgin Mary and respond promptly to God’s calling, we must imitate Mary in loving and cherishing everything that God communicates to us. For us, the primary source of God’s message to us is the Holy Scriptures, as it is the most direct and certain mess…

When we celebrate and praise how courageously the Blessed Virgin Mary responded to God’s call, becoming the Mother of Jesus, that is the Mother of God, do we ever reflect on her feelings and state of mind at that time? Some might question: Does this make sense? How could Mary make such an important decision without any hesitation? Did she truly thi…

If we ask you: Who are the most hopeful people? Or: Who can give us the most hope? I believe that if we say the answer is “children”, no one would object! But why do children give us such a strong sense of hope? Think back to when you were a child. In your mind, there were no burdens or worries. The only thing you would think about was whether ther…

In our reflection yesterday, we explored that the most precious and important things in life are not the pleasures and satisfactions that this world offers, but rather people and relationships. There is a saying: “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” This means that when we are in difficulties, those who reach out to help us are our true friends. …

Throughout this retreat, we have repeatedly emphasized that God allows us to experience various trials in this earthly life for our own good, to train us, to help us grow, to elevate us, to make us holy, and to prepare us for eternal life. Jesus has also instructed us to enter the Kingdom of Heaven through the narrow gate, to sell all we have and g…

Our life journey is a journey of searching for our family, a path that leads us back to our Father’s home. Jesus, as our most loving elder brother, took on the mission of bringing us, His long-lost brothers and sisters, back to our Heavenly Father and into His loving embrace. Thus, Jesus Christ is the mediator between God and humanity, the bridge b…

Today, we will look at the path God wants us to choose from a new perspective. On the night Jesus was betrayed, He had the Passover meal with His disciples. After the meal, Jesus personally washed the disciples’ feet to set an example for them. After washing their feet, Jesus said to them: “Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher a…

During yesterday’s retreat, we caught a glimpse of the devil’s tactics from the description in the Gospel of Luke. No matter whether the devil’s schemes against us succeed or fail, it is always plotting its next opportunity to ensnare us in the traps it has carefully designed. Imagine two teams competing against each other. Both sides will try thei…

The retreat has entered its eleventh day, and you may have a question in your mind: Why haven’t we begun to explore the core theme of the retreat, "Finding Hope in God’s Kingdom"? Before we enter this important theme, we need to clear away all obstacles that prevent us from embracing it, and adjusting our mindset is the first priority. With the rig…

Over the past few days of our retreat, we have explored that when we view our earthly life from the perspective of an “earthly pilgrimage,” that is, when we view our earthly life as “pilgrims,” we can more easily face the various encounters and challenges in life from God’s perspective. Before we continue on our journey, let us take this opportunit…

Every parent hopes for their children’s success. You can imagine that God looks upon us children in the same way, only to an even greater extent. God desires us to be ‘holy’ because that is the best for us; it is our original state, as we were created in the image of the Father and are meant to resemble Him in every way. However, due to our sinful …

During the past two or three days of this retreat, we emphasized that life on earth is akin to a pilgrimage in this world. Every journey should bring us rich experiences that we can enjoy. However, life in this world is full of challenges. How do we resolve the contradictions within? The key lies in whether we perceive the hardships of this world a…

Building on our reflections from yesterday, a pilgrim seeking personal and spiritual growth should not primarily rely on acquiring knowledge through taking courses. Instead, the most effective and direct way is to humbly accept the various trials and tribulations that God allows in our lives and seize opportunities to learn from them. In particular…

You should still remember that on the first day of our retreat, we quoted from the book of the prophet Jeremiah, chapter 29, verse 11, where God speaks to us: “For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11) You may have doubts in your heart: Is th…

Over the past few days, we have discussed that, as pilgrims on this earthly journey, we must first recognize where we currently stand and gain clarity about our final destination. Today, let us reflect on the journey in between. As we embrace this Jubilee with the theme “Pilgrims of Hope,” it is helpful to understand what a pilgrimage truly is in o…

During yesterday's retreat, we mentioned that the Global Positioning System (GPS) we commonly use today requires us to input both the starting point and the destination so that the system can successfully guide us to our destination. This serves as a reminder that our lives need a clear goal and direction, and we must be aware of our current positi…

When promoting this online retreat, we mentioned: "In a world plagued by an epidemic of depression and hopelessness like never before, it’s clear that what the world offers is leading us in the wrong direction."

As we come to the final day of the 40-day retreat, let us once again focus our attention on the theme of this retreat: "Finding God in All Things."

Yesterday we learned that through the examination of consciousness, we can heighten our awareness of God’s blessings in our lives and become more grateful so that we can more easily find God in all things. But how can we be grateful if we find no blessings from God in our lives, but only pain and suffering? How can we find God in all things in such…

We had mentioned before that the "present moment" is the only time when we can truly "find God" and "encounter God". When we are fully present in the "here and now", that is the time when we can best experience God’s presence. However, for us to be able to achieve this state of "living in the present" does not happen overnight. Fortunately, we can …

During the last ten days of the retreat, we kept mentioning that the relationship God wants to have with us is a marriage relationship. The concept of marriage originates from God Himself. Since we perceive God as a father figure and Jesus Christ also embodies a male identity, when we talk about our relationship with God being a marital one, it's e…
