THis Connect: A Holy Week Retreat This Lent 2019 in Baras Rizal

Due to low turnout of interest, ThisConnect Holy Week Retreat has been cancelled. We apologise.



In his message for this Lent 2019, His Holiness Pope Francis said:
Each year, through Mother Church, God “gives us this joyful season when we prepare to celebrate the paschal mystery with mind and heart renewed… as we recall the great events that gave us new life in Christ” (Preface of Lent I). We can thus journey from Easter to Easter towards the fulfilment of the salvation we have already received as a result of Christ’s paschal mystery – “for in hope we were saved” (Rom 8:24). This mystery of salvation, already at work in us during our earthly lives, is a dynamic process that also embraces history and all of creation. As Saint Paul says, “the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God” (Rom 8:19).
