A LIFE-GIVING SABBATICAL PILGRIMAGE EXPERIENCE

          January 6 – April 3, 2009 at East Asian Pastoral Institute (EAPI) was a life-giving sabbatical pilgrimage experience. It was a time to stop- take time and move on. I cherish my joyful inner journey strengthening my contemplative and loving relationship with our Lord, myself, others and the whole creation. There was a strong experience of fraternity, community life and teamwork despite the big number (80+) of diverse nationalities, and cultures from 27 countries. The program was well designed that covered all aspects for well-being and wholeness .

          For this transforming and integrating experience, I express my profound and heart-felt gratitude to Sr. Georgita Hormillosa, our Provincial and the Province for allowing me to undertake this course; and to my community, Manresa Retreat House for their prayers and support, and to all the sisters in the Manresa Retreat House compound and the Chinese community.
