In this changing times, it is but stringent that the youth are redirected to the
path of righteousness, morality and spiritual stability. The youth should be given an
utmost attention and dedication to be guided with the values that the church, as
in Christianity, uphold in order to make them once again disciples of the Lord Jesus.
Like the story of the sisters Martha and Mary, the youth should be reminded that
there are things in life that are more important than what many of them perceive.
A growing life, rooted in Christs teachings and is fueled by the grateful
heart for Gods blessings. A life that has a deep understanding of ones self, family,
life situation and goals able to withstand test and condemnation.
It is of this regard and the love for the authors fellow youth that this
manuscript is created. To serve as a simple and humble guide in providing an
arena for the youth of today to once again look deep into themselves and
evaluate their very existence. May this guide, together with the wise counsel of
those who are to interpret them and with the intercession of the Holy Spirit be able
to make those who are to be part in it realize that the Grace and Mercy of God
abounds in their lives. And that may with the loving compassion of Jesus, the youth
once again find true friendship in the one true God, for He says,
You are my friend if you do what I command you. I no longer call you
slaves for a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends,
because I have told you everything I heard from my Father. It was not you who
chose me, but I who choose you John 15:14-16
Biyahero a Tagalog term for traveler sums up a personal context of being
on a journey. A Biyahero is constantly on a move to reach his target destination.
Along the way he experiences a lot of obstacles, challenges and
discouragements but pushes onward.
This term, Biyahero profoundly supports the type of lifestyle that the youth
of this generation must take. To be on constant movement to reach their goals,
their dreams and aspirations and most importantly, live a life rooted with God.
That is why, this book bears that title. Considering that a recollection
activity involves journeying towards the deepest confines of the participants life
towards realization and renewal. A journey that welcomes every youth to take
and join and move on towards a life with God.
May this manuscript reach the youth who needs the induction to take a
journey to find life and be a Biyahero, Kabataang Naglalakbay Kasama si Kristo.
Growing Through Gods Blessings.

: RECOLLECTION OVERVIEW
THE CONCEPT AND TOPICS
The next day John was there again with two of his disciples, and
as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, Behold, the Lamb of God. The two disciples
heard what he said and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them and said to
them, What are you looking for? they said to him, Rabbi (which translated to
teacher), where are you staying? He said to them, Come and you will see. John
1:35-39
Many of us says, that life is nothing but a journey. That is true, for life involves
real journey, be it geographically, anthropologically, socially, spiritually and many
more. We take our first step in life the moment we were conceived and only ends
the moment we breathe our last. Thus, it is important that along the journey that
each of us take we are prepared and is accompanied by trustworthy guides.
In the journey of the youth through this recollection, they are to be
introduced to the one true guide that is the Lord Jesus. Like the two disciples of
John the Baptist, the moment they heard their master proclaim that Jesus, who
passes by them is the Messiah, they followed Jesus. Though they are of little
understanding with the nature of Jesus, they took the effort to just follow. In time,
when the Lord noticed their pursuit of Him, He asked them, What are you looking
for? Their reply is but a question still, Rabbi, where are you staying? so Jesus
replied, Just come and see.
This is how the Lord guides us, the moment we decide to follow Jesus, He
doesnt tells us where to go, or go to this place at this address and there you will
find me. Instead, Jesus simply tells us, Come, you will see. This means that God
Himself will be with us in that journey, He will be our guide. He will lead us in ways
we might find uncomfortable or even unconventional but still, it is the way to go.
Such is the guiding inspiration in the topics that are herein presented. Inspired by
stories in the Bible that gives profound lessons in life especially for the youth. Stories
like that of Job and the sisters Martha and Mary. The topics will revolve in the lessons
behind their lives and is redirected to the connections in the participants own life.
But just as the Lord uses many visible references we find in our day to day life, the
topics will be supported by video clips created by individuals with the intention of
opening up someones mind. The author does not claim ownership in these videos
but highly recognizes their publishers. Also, to further provide a personal reflection
setting, the participants will be active in writing down tasks that aims to extract from
them deep and stored thoughts that is just treated with conventional reflection
methods of meditation, would not be fully achieved.
These together with other dynamic activities aims to provide the
participants a continuous journey through themselves with God.

After the reading, the speaker shall place the Bible, open, in the pedestal

Heavenly Father, Our God. Through Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ,
have proclaimed to us that Anyone who gathers in the name of Your
Son, Jesus, You shall be among them Father, we acknowledge You
today as we gather by the name of Your Son. A humble gathering of
young hearts aiming to reconnect with you in your mercy. Dear God,
before you stand your children. We are your children Heavenly Father
once again coming and calling before you. As we conduct this
activity, we start a journey towards deep within ourselves aiming to
find its roots in you. A journey towards you, Our Father, aware of the
uniqueness that you made every one of us, thankful of the gifts You
bestow upon as and anxious to start a day t day life with you as our
constant companion. We know Father that you had been with us
ever since, but our weakness and proud hearts drives us away from
your side often times. With this Lord, we ask for your forgiveness.
Forgive us dear lord, our faults, our shortcoming, our malicious
thoughts and our sinful perverted ways. Father, in you life begin and
in you life finds its fullness.
Dear Lord, as we share to one another our life and our
experiences, allow Father that it be heard with respect and
understanding. As we offer this activity to you lord, grant that its goals
are achieved. Bless Father our families we left at home hoping that
through this activity, change will come to our ways. Father bless our
speakers and facilitators that they may be filled by your Holy Spirit

inside it. Lord, let this activity fuel the entire journey of life that each
of them are about to take soon. Father, be with them all the way and
show them how great it is to live by your presence day by day.

Our Lord Jesus Christ, together with the Holy Spirit, the Blessed Virgin

UMPISA NG PAGLALAKBAY!
How to start:
1)
Before all the participants arrive, the facilitators should have already
prepared everything, venue, etc. As they arrive, it is advised that songs and
music be played in order to prepare the mood of the participants. (See
General Songs on DVD)
2)
They must first register, indicating on the form their full name, their nickname,
age, section (if necessary) address together with the name and contact
number of their parent/s or guardian/s to be notified in case of emergency.
(See Forms Annex)
3)
4)
A few minutes before the start of the activity, the participants can now be
directed to proceed to the lecture room if the holding area is a separate
room.
5)
In case of a late participant, as long as the lectures are not yet on the main
cycles, he can still join but he must be oriented of the topics he missed.
6)
The narrative written here are suggested words for the speaker. He can use
them as if his own bringing the manual into life. But again, the speaker can
use his own words based on the ideas herein presented in order to elaborate
the points. MAY GOD BLESS YOU, he who shall speak on behalf of this book.
Page 10
The Facilitators must prepare within the venue/lecture room a simple altar
wherein the Bible can be honored. It must be lit by a candle throughout
the activity.
4.
Entrance of the Bible: the facilitators will play/sing Thy Word while an
assigned facilitator will carry the Holy Bible, opened to John 1:35-39, high
up in his head. He will be accompanied by another facilitators with a
candle. They shall walk in a slow pace across the room, preferably, if the
participants are sited in a U shape, the two shall trace their sits.
5.
After covering the entire hall, the two shall proceed to the altar wherein
the Bible bearer shall give the Bible to the speaker who will read the theme
Gospel of the recollection.
Page 11
Next is we had also identified the possible problems. The same problems
here written on the board will be the same problems that you will encounter in this
journey. Now that we identified them, we will prepare for them so that even if you
do experience it, it would not be irritating for you.
There is one thing though that we missed to identify? What is that? Or
should I say, who are they? One is, the Driver. Right? The Bus driver or the plane
pilot or the ships captain. Then, there are the crew. Or in a bus, the kundoktor,
or in a plane, the stewardess and on the ship, the staff. All of them are essential
parts of our travel right? Without them, the journey could not begin. So in our
journey, who are they? They are us. The Facilitators, speakers and crew.
The speakers will be the drivers. We hold the direction of this trip of yours.
Although the destination is fixed, later we will know where it is, the directions, how
fast to get there, the turns and cross roads depends on the speakers.
In this nature, the same way that you put your trust on the abled hands of
the driver of the bus when you are travelling, we also would like to request from
you that you place your trust on us. Remember and consider that, the mere fact
that we stand here in front of you signifies that we know something that you dont
but you must know. Be assured that, we are going to do our best in bringing you
to the destination of this recollection.
Also, the facilitators shall be the stewardess or crew of our trip. The same
way that they ensure the comfort of the passengers will be the same way that they
will ensure that you are comfortable in your journey. They are here to assist you in
the vital parts of our travel wherein you would be needing they help.
Also, they are here to be your friends. What we ask from you is respect.
They will ensure that you will enjoy your journey and that altogether, we will arrive
at our destination contented. Will that be ok?
So let us now proceed. As what we had talked about just a few minutes
ago, what is the first thing that we should choose before starting a journey? A
destination. Right. So we will now know where our destination in this recollection is.

Before Travelling:
1. Deciding where to go.
2. By what means do I get
there?
3. How long thus it take?
4. How much can I take?
But God persists, noting that since Job has been asking all the questions,
which in reciprocity, God also has a right to question Job; Would you refuse to
acknowledge my right? Would you condemn me that you may be justified (40: 89)? More unbelievable questions follow: Have you an arm like God, or can you
thunder with a voice like his? Can you lead about Leviathan [the crocodile]
with a hook or curb his tongue with a bit can you play with him as a bird? Can
you put him in leash for your maidens (40:9-29)? Job finally relents and admits I
have dealt with great things that I do not understand. He apologizes and
assumes the action of mourning, covering himself with dust and ashes.
At this point in the narrative God turns to Jobs friends who approached
Job with their wisdom about why he should just admit guilt and appease God. He
instructs them to go to Job and make sacrifice for their groundless accusations. If
they can get Job to pray for them they will not be severely punished! He does,
God accepts Jobs prayers and then restores all that he has lost in a double portion.
As you can see, the story of Job is much more than a narrative about how
God punishes. As a matter of fact the story of Job is not about punishment at all.
The story of Job is about relationship with God. By no choice of his own Job
became a living example, to all, of what it is like to love God unconditionally.
Nothing that happened to Job could induce him to curse or abandon God. Not
even his good friends who railed at him to just give up and admit his guilt. Job
knew that he didnt do anything wrong and that he respected and loved God.
These two things are consistent throughout the narrative.
Job did, however question the logic of the whole thing. Amazingly, God is
so moved by Jobs faith that instead of zapping him with a lightning bolt or simply
striking him dead he actually dialogs with him! Isnt this the typical behavior of a
frustrated parent? When a child has committed an act of particularly bad
judgment, all the while questioning the parents rules or logic, the parent resists the
temptation to simply ground the kid until the age of 30 and be done with it. A
loving parent knows that a discussion will bear more fruit. So God discusses.
Job listens and finally admits that maybe his questioning came from a
place that lacked understanding. But more than the final discussion and
restoration, Jobs demeanor during the entire ordeal is amazing. His attitude
toward the God of the Universe is at all times open.
Page 20
Page 17
When Satan appears before God, fresh from his patrols of the earth, God
actually asks him Have you noticed my servant Job, and that there is no one on
earth like him blameless and upright, fearing God and avoiding evil (Job 1:8
NAB). This obviously is a source of aggravation for the devil and he taunts God
and supposes that the only reason Job is good is because of the benefits that
God has given him. So they strike a bargain, the devil intent on proving God a
fool. Satan may tempt Job in any way he wishes but he may not lay his hands
on him.
So we see that Job is not cursed of God but well beloved by him and
even though he does not know it he will be the instrument that tangibly proves
Gods generosity and love. As some say, most things are not what they appear
to be.
The devil takes family, wealth and health from Job. But perhaps the worst
thing that happens to him is the people close to him start to make assumptions.
His wife complains that he must be guilty of something and that he should curse
God and die. His friends weep at his condition and cant even speak to him
because they are so shocked at his appearance. But Job does not waiver in his
innocence and ponders We accept good things from God; and should we not
accept evil? (Job 2:10 NAB) He simply refuses to speak ill of God. The book
continues as various other friends dialog with Job, begging him to repent and
admit his wrong doing.
Each time Jobs reply is a window into his mind and how he regards God.
Each of his replies is beautifully poetic and contains not one iota of complaint.
Job offers nine separate replies to his critical friends who insist that he should just
admit guilt and make retribution to the Lord.
Job concludes with a tenth Summary of His Cause. He never waivers,
he did nothing wrong, but contemplates much regarding the situation he is in
now compared to what he used to have: Oh that I were as in the months past!
as in the days when God watched over me, While he kept his lamp shining
above my head, and by his light I walked through darkness; As I was in my
flourishing days, when God sheltered my tent (Job 29: 2-3 NAB). His refusal to
be bitter and blaming of the Lord is simply extraordinary. However, he clearly
acknowledges that something has changed and that his relationship with God
is not the same as it used to be and he has no idea why.
At no time does he vow to cut off communications with God or refuse to
recognize that God is God, powerful, generous and maker of the universe.
Page 18
But in his final summary, he does insist that God make clear to him what
is the cause of his distress: Oh, that I had one to hear my case and that my
accuser would write out his indictment. Surely I should wear it on my shoulder or
put it on me like a diadem; this is my final plea; let the Almighty answer me
(Job 31: 35-37 NAB)! He does not ask for a solution but states that knowing
what he did would be good enough for him and maybe even a source of pride.
Remember that Job was most beloved by God. Jobs fervent request to
hear from his accuser is answered! God enters into an amazing dialog with
Job. Gods immediate address to Job lays out the fact that God Himself knows
things and has experienced things that it is impossible for any human to
experience. God points out the extraordinary experiences that are his alone, as
well as pivotal to the existence of our very world.
He points out that there is a bigger existence a divine plan or order of
which is really impossible for one human to comprehend although we are still
part of it. He asks Job: Who is this that obscures divine plans with words of
ignorance (38:2)? And in a rather funny line he tells Job Gird up your loins like
a man, I will question you, and you tell me the answers (38:3)! This is similar to a
modern equivalent that would go something like this: Hang on to your pants and
get ready to back up the statements youve been so sassy about making, big
shot! [Personal interpretation]
God proceeds and offers a series of breath taking questions: Were you
there when I founded the earth? Tell me, if you have an understanding. Who
determined its size; do you know? Who stretched out the measuring line for it?
.And who shut within doors the sea when it burst forth from the womb. When I
made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling bands? When I
set limits for it and fastened the bar of its door. Have you ever in your lifetime
commanded the morning and shown the dawn its place. Have you entered
into the sources of the sea or walked about in the depths of the abyss? Tell
me, if you know all: Which is the way to the dwelling place of light, and where is
the abode of darkness. Out of whose womb comes the ice and who gives the
hoarfrost its birth in the skies, Who puts wisdom in the heart. (Job 38: 4-36
NAB)?
Job is literally struck speechless during this session. Who wouldnt be?
God continues: Will we have arguing with the Almighty by the critic? Let him
who would correct God give answer (40:2). Job then admits that he has
questioned God once and then twice but no more, there is no human answer
for the questions that are being asked, no matter how smart you are!
Page 19
He never turns his back or opts for other Gods. He does not use any of
his resources to seek an alternative solution. He addresses and aims his
comments and complaints at God the entire time. He does not look to his own
understanding to solve his dilemma. He questions God and only God with
honesty, albeit tinged with his frustration. Job realizes that whatever is
happening, no one or nothing else in the universe can fix it.
He is not distracted by the incredibly strong presence of people around
him who have influence. He knows, in his being, that God is the provider and
the rescuer no matter what is going on or how much he doesnt understand
what is occurring. These qualities, in essence, are the demeanor of a child who
knows that the parent is with them no matter how crazy things get. No wonder
that Job is so favored by God that the Father proudly singles him out in the
beginning of the narrative!
Well then, taking this into account, what can we learn? Can we say that
it is challenge? A challenge from God, for us to follow the same faith that Job
had in his life? Is it a challenge for us to have the same unshaken relationship of
faith with God that no matter how bad things end up in our life, we have no
right to question God or more so, to blame God? Is it a challenge for us to have
that greedy attachments to earthly wealth that even if we gain or lose it we still
have the composure to be faithful? Is it a challenge for us to think not just wisely,
but with a faithful understanding when it comes to being someone to others
more so in giving them comfort? Is it a challenge to have that kind of relationship
with God that God Himself, grants the human being, Job a dialogue on where
the two of them could actually speak together? Are these our challenge? The
answer my dear brothers and sisters is a big yes. It is our challenge.
Therefore, this concept of life will shall be the destination of our journey.
Not just for this recollection but hopefully for the rest of your life. For life itself is a
journey and our lifes eventual ending is with God, for we are Gods property in
the first place.
After our analysis with the life of Job and his relationship with God, we can arrive
to four individual yet succeeding points. They are;
they see falsely he knows what the truth about him is.
Job, so loved God and served God day by day that God Himself
favors him.
Page 21
These are the four important lessons that we can learn from the story of
Job. These are principles that must serve as our guide in seeking a life with God.
And for our recollection, these four shall serve as the main direction of our
recollection. Simplifying them into our purpose, we have the four main direction
of our recollection leading to our ultimate destination. (the speaker can write
the following on the board one by one in the order presented or prepare an
early visual aid. After this talk, the visual aids prepared must be posted on a side
of the board and left there until the end of the recollection to serve as reminder
for the next topics.))
Take a look and read them carefully. Are you amenable to these? Do
you want this to be our destination? We must. Therefore, let us see to it that we
arrive on this destination.
I am sure you want to know what are the topics, arent you? But, I cannot
tell you. Instead, there is someone who will tell those to you. Do you want to know
who he is? Lets watch this video.
(Show Come and See Video. After the video, build the excitement in the
participants by telling them that, if Jesus just tell the disciples to just come and
see, they too must just come and see. A separate discussion of the video shall
be given after the entire recollection.)

Working out first with the map, the speaker must prepare a set of colored
papers/bond paper cut into 3 inches by 6 inches and a marker. He then will ask the
participants of their expectation. After working out with the given expectation, he will
then interpret the answer into an establishment, building, landmark or any structure and
draw it into the piece of paper. Example, if a participant answered that he expects to
have a deeper spiritual growth, it can be interpreted into a drawing of a church. The
following can be the their expectations and the corresponding interpretations;

After the discussion on the commitments, the speaker will proceed to another
aspect of travel, the Sign Posts.

Page 30
Also, there are those actions that we know we are doing. Like, always
saying bad/foul words and being rude to others end up being interpreted as a
bad guy. Like, not saying po or opo, not greeting someone, not saying
please and thank you and others makes others say that we are ill-mannered
walang ugali. (Sight other examples.)
Also, even the simple acts we think unrecognizable becomes big
pictures in the eyes of sensitive persons. Like, not helping during group activities,
clean ups, waking away when a work is to be given turns out to be irresponsible
acts for others. Even mannerisms like, picking up your nose, raising eyebrows,
scratching unlikely parts of your body and many more all creates an opportunity
for others to say something. All actions we do turns out to be reflections of our
personality being seen by others and given interpretations.
We can now say in logic that,
Misconceptions are based on actions we do, seen or heard by others.
Then, the actions we do are reflections of who we are.
Therefore, Misconceptions are the reflections of who we are to others.
DEEPENING
For the speaker: the next discussion will be a deepening of the activity just made.
There are suggested guide questions below, you can use them to extract the
participant answer and impose unto them the logic of the activity. It will be up
to you on how you will work out with their answers. It is important to get the deep
emotions of the participants as the questions are asked. For some of the
questions, you can ask one participant to defend his/her point and allow that
to be rebutted by another. At some point, the discussion can end up to a
debate or argument, it is ok, but control their reactions.
Let us now analyze what are written on your diaries. Let me ask a few
questions.
1. What can you read from what your group mates had written
on your diary?
2. Are there flatteries, or are there good to hear comments?
3. Are there criticisms or a little bit negative to read?
4. What are more numerous, the flatteries or the criticisms?
5. What do you feel about it?
6. Do you accept what was written? Why?
7. Do you agree to their impressions? Why?
8. Do you think that what they had written means you or does it
support who you really are? Why?
9. If not, Why?
The words we hear or read about our self affects us so much is it not? We
feel bad every time we hear negative comments about ourselves. Or any
comment that we find not exactly true, or in contrast to who we think we are.
We say deep inside that they have no right so say anything like that because
they do not know us. (Give some examples or ask for examples).
There are those situations wherein we hear that we are being talked
about Tsismis behind our back. Usually, if their topic about us is alarming we
end up in a fight. Right? Any one experienced this?
Also, there are those situation that some people would make some
comments about you based on what they just see of you. Often, these
comments are negative, we again arrive into a confrontation and we say to
than they dont have the right to say such words because they do not know
who we really are. To teen agers, these are very common.
Page 34
Ever experienced being sent into the principals office or the guidance
office for the fight you had been into? Its alarming, but we also see it in the TV.
Have you seen the video on YouTube of the girls in school uniform pulling each
others hair trying to drag the other on the road? Is if fun in the Philippines or
what? (The speaker can continue sighting some examples or ask the
participants for similar examples.)
Did you noticed that all these things happen because there are people
who see very different of who we really are? It is called Misconception. Or
being falsely interpreted or represented.
By simple terms, misconception is being misrepresented or
misinterpreted by others. In all its sense, misconception is something we all had
experienced. Some, every day. It happens when people say something that is
not totally true of who we are. Like our attitude, personality, actions and even
our choices. We may witness it being done to us or said to us vulgarly or in silent
gestures of others. Either ways, it hurts us right? Who among you here had ever
experienced that? (The speaker can ask a participant to share what he/she
had experienced.)
When we experience it what do we usually feel? Some people just
ignore it but for others, the pain turns into anger. We feel betrayed, especially
if the one who did it is someone who is close to you.
But, the reality with misconception is that, it is based on actions seen.
People say something, because they see something or heard something.
Meaning, what they are saying about us, the flatteries and criticisms are based
on what they had seen from us. Right? Of course, only a hard liar can just invent
a stories but not all people are hard wired to telling lies.
That is the logic of misconception, it is a comment based on what was
seen or heard of someones actions only that it is given an inaccurate
meaning. Therefore, misconception is relatively correct for they are based on
actual actions. Only that, we know that the interpretations made of that action
is not fully accurate of what we know is the entire truth.
Unfortunately, it is said that, what we do is what we are? We do
something because that is something we feel like doing. Examples are our
mannerisms. Some of us, unconsciously do something. Some of us unmindfully
walks gliding so people say that you are Maarti. Some of us unmindfully
ignore other people so they say that he is suplada/suplado. (Sight other
examples.)
Page 35
Some of you would still ask, why should we know our self? The answer my
friends is because, you should be a friend to yourself first, before you became
friends to others. It is because, you have to know your identity in order for you to
have a sense of direction. Many of the young people who end up being addicts,
trouble makers, criminals are those people with no sense of direction in life. They
dont know who they are, therefore they dont care whether they end up in jail
or not. Later on, you will know the importance the more.
Going back now to the process of communication. Provided that you
already know who you are. Say from the beginning, because of writing to many
slum book and diaries, so you pretty know who you are. The next question there
would be,
How do you show yourself to others? Is it positively or good to see or
negative and hard to look at?
My friends, the way we portray our self to others is as essential as knowing
who we are. And the measuring tool there would be is the response that others
would give. Say for example, you show yourself in pretention or negatively, then
others would give you a negative response. Right? Or if you show the real you,
in truth, then definitely other people would give you good comments. We will
know whether what we portray is positive or negative based on the reactions of
others.
There are those instances when even if we become true to our self,
others could still say bad about us. But these situations again are based on how
you made it clear in the beginning. People have different standards in viewing
life, but these views are still based on our own knowing of our self.
The question will always be, Are you being true to yourself? Are you
hiding or pretending?
In your actions, gestures, words you say are you being true?
And whatever that response is, it becomes the bases also of your next
response and you goes on. Sometimes, there are so many topics being talked
about leading to a lot of new informations arising from an original topic. Ever
experienced when you are talking to a friend, there are a lot of tpoics that you
talked about, sometimes you would ask, How did you arrive into that topic?
and then youll realize, things just fly by. That my dear friend is how
communication works.
Do ask yourself. And after asking that, ask again, Is what I am showing
to others good? Is it right? (In tagalog, Tama ba ang mga ginagawa at
ipinapakita mo sa iba?.
Many of the youth nowadays clings to the changes of the season. Many
thinks that speaking in gay lengo, jejemon, doing belat with added extending
of the tongue or a slap on the but or even saying fuck you with the three
fingers, is a good thing to do. But seriously, is it really right? Is it appropriate? Ask
you self.
In this idea, the actions you show whether consciously or not becomes
the initial information. How you show it is being received by others and in turn
create a response. And if what you show is the untrue concept of your
personality then, it will that concept that people will be giving comments at.
Then misconception happens.
Page 40
Page 37
As the Sender;
Connecting now the three basic aspect of communication, the sender,
receiver and response let us look deeper.
We say that, a good communication depends on the sender. Therefore,
as a sender of your personality, Ill ask you,
How do you portray yourself? Is it in truth of who you are, or you assume
that it is who you are?
To be a sender of information, the very first thing that youll do is to know
the information to be sent. We send information that we only know right? Say if
you will give someone an information, the information youll give will be known
to you. In our case, our personality.
On your part, Do you know who you are?
I am sure that a philosophically minded person would say, Off course I
know who I am. My name is like this and like that.
But the truth? Do you really know who you are?
How deep is your understanding of yourself? Ask yourself, do I really know
me?
Knowing your name is not the point of the story or where you live and
what are your likes. There are a lot of kind of people. There are therefore a lot of
different kind of personality and no one will be exactly the same. There are
instances that we say we already know who we are but as it turns out, we are
living a life that is not ours. Remember brothers and sisters that there is more to
life than the earth, wind and sea. So is with personality. What we think is the truth
about our self can turn out to be not entirely true.
Did anyone of you was asked to write on a slum book? In high school
that is very common. What are the information asked there? (Let them share)
Commonly a slum book would contain information like, your name, nick name,
address, favorites, crushes, ambitions and etc. Many of us feels uncomfortable
writing in a slum book. Especially the boys. Many say that its a girls thing and
its not a macho thing to do. But you are wrong. Writing in this form of diaries
are a good way of starting to know who you are. Unknowingly, you becomes
aware of your likes, your favorites. Colors, TV shows, cartoon characters,
movies, actors and actresses and many more. By this we know who we are that
otherwise would not be known to us. Also, there are parts where we will be
asked of what will be our dream or ambition in life. Some would write very
boldly, a doctor, a nurse, an engineer, an architect, a singer etc. By this, again,
we become aware of our life plan. For some, the same ambition they wrote
becomes their goal in life and eventually end up being like that. Successfully.
The reason why writing in slum book is a good instrument of knowing our
self is that, it offers an opportunity for us to Talk to Our self. You would say,
why in the world will I talk to myself? Am I nuts?
My dear friends, how will you know who you are if you wont talk to you
own self? When we are courting a girl, say for boys, in order for us to know that
person well is to talk to him/her right? Or a friend, in order for us to know well
our friends we talk to them. The same is with our self. We can only know who
we are if we would offer time to talk to our self.
You will ask, How will we do that? Simple, give time to yourself and
yourself alone. We talked about slum book, well it is one of that. Give yourself
a time wherein you can be quite and alone and it will be only you there. Slowly,
as if talking to someone, ask yourself some questions and answer. Trust me, you
would be amazed how good it would feel to talk to yourself.
Page 38
Page 39
As the Response:
Lets now talk about response. After an information is sent, then the
receiver listens, the receiver will now be the sender giving off the response. Thus,
the process of communication is established. In any communication, the
response should always be bulls eye or exact and accurate to the information
received. If not, there will be no communication at all. If you are asked whats
your name then dont answer I live in here and there.
For communication to work, responding FULLY is important. We must
respond in full and not with partiality.
In text messages,
Texter1: Hi, may I know your name? Im Tom.
Texter2: Jerry.
Texter1: Where do you live?
Texter2: There.
Texter1: have you eaten already?
Texter2: nope.
Texter1: Do you want to join me?
Texter2: (_)
Texter1: Come join me.
Texter2: . . .
Is there a conversation there? Yes there is. But is there a communication
there? Surely theres none. Many of us are like this. When someone is speaking
to us, if we doesnt like that person we try to ignore and dont respond at all.
In personality communication, responding fully and truthfully is a must in
order for you to understand one anothers personality. Remember that if a
person is showing himself to you truthfully, that person is giving you a lot of trust.
The least you can do is to respect him and give a truthful response.
Proper response involves full responses out of respect and trust.
If you would respond fully and properly to what you see that others do,
then in your own action, others will respond the same.
Page 44
My friends, even the way you show off to the public also ask if it is
correct. When you have a new dress, a new phone, a new gadget is it right to
show off? Raising the phone high as if looking for a signal when the truth is the
signal spikes at number four already. Playing the mp3 so loud that a disco
sound system would be ashamed to play his speakers. How about that time
when someone attended a school activity or the mass wearing an extravagant
outfit that seems to be designed by an alien. Much worse, those almost
wearing just a thread in overly thin outfits.
My friends, the way we act becomes the reflection of who we are. If it
is bad to the greater public then you end up to be marked as a bad person,
with bad attitudes and personality. And people would no longer give you the
chance to defend yourself.
Some of you would say, What can I do, this is really who I am. Theres
nothing I can change. Wrong, you are not made to be like that. God formed
man for goodness and to do good and right. It is the choice you make that
made you like that. It was you who choose to portray those negative things,
right? Maybe there are those who influenced you, but still it was you who made
the choice.
If we would choose to act negatively, and do the wrong ways, acts
that are contrary to what is morally correct, then therefore, it would only be
natural that the people around you would say also differently. Am I right?
Why then are we choosing to do it that way? Get the point? Ask now
yourself, what are my actions that are not right and incorrect?
Are my daily habits, mannerisms, lifestyle righteous? Are they meant to
be done that way, or I am just eager to boast and is thirsty for attention? Surely,
you will see that there are things that we do that should be done with prudent
and not just driven by desire and emotions.
As a Receiver or Listener;
Returning back to the topic of communication and its pointers, what
we have just discussed is all about you as the sender of your own personality as
information. Now, how about as a receiver? What kind of a receiver am I?
Page 41
On your part, when someone is talking to you do you listen intently with
your heart? When someone is doing an act, his ways, manners, attitudes, do
you look at it silently with your conscience? Or is it with an eyebrow raised?
Or when you see someone doing something, do you listen with the
intent of knowing the truth or just to criticize? Do you do the effort to know the
truth behind the actins made by that person? Or do we extend the effort to
find out whether what we see/ hear is true or not?
Most of the time we let time pass by and what our eyes see ends up
being photos, snapshots of events that sticks to our memories. But there should
be more to be done when we are witnessing someone showing his/her
personality to us.
Showing who you are is a very hard and challenging task for it involves
bravery. The courage to show the reality of ones self, thus we must do the
same feat valor in order to just understand that person.
We also want to be understood, right? Why cant we understand
others?
It is really a simple task to do. In order for us to properly listen with
comprehension we must do the following steps.
1. Open your Heart,
2. In order to understand, and
3. Take time to verify.
The moment we see an act, we must first open our hearts and make it
an understanding heart. Then, in order to understand, take the effort to know
the meaning and reasons behind that ct. by asking the doer himself. Not in
confrontation, but is compassion.
To be a good listener, you must
a. Be sensitive
b. Be just
c. Be truthful
Often, just being silent is the best form of listening.
Page 43
In general, which category has the most answer? Is it in the likes or dislikes?
Most of you wrote a lot of things on what you hate than on what you like.
It is actually normal that you wrote more on what you dont like than what
you like. Because, at your age, you are in the state of discovery and confusion. Most
of the youth nowadays see things in life the way that they are presented.
Materialistic, egoistic, ridiculously conscious of appearance and worst of all hard
headed.
Like physical appearances, most of the youth nowadays are very conscious
of what they look like. Many of us live your everyday based on what we look like.
Many fees troubled when theres a large pink pimple sticking off our nose or cheek.
If we have a large nose that seemingly turns into red when blushing. Many also feels
bad when we have large ears, very curly hair, thick eyebrows and so on.
Summary:
Also, when we are fat or supper slim. When super tall or very short we feel
bad. Most of us wished them to be replaced. Am I right? Whos guilty?
To some of us, what we look like affects us very much that it becomes the
basis of our life. The way we think and the way we interact with people becomes
rooted in this shallow reason. Just because some of us think that we have something
physically that is not so appealing to others we becomes indignant with it and
eventually our very self. We hate it up to the pint that many would go to miles just to
get rid of them.
Heard of people that are slightly dark in skin color who desperately wants to
get snow white? How about those girls born with kinky and curvy hairs who tries
everything from straitening irons to poisonous chemicals just to stiff it up? I know that
some of you are amongst them. But is there a problem with it? Some might say, none,
its perfectly normal to get conscious of how you look. And it is true, it is normal but
there is a point when it gets out of hand.
What does it mean? For many youth in this generation, these physical
imperfections per say becomes a barrier between them and the world around them.
Some of us who experiences temporary physical deformities feels so bothered that
most lock themselves inside their homes and never let anyone see them.
Seemingly being cursed, that many people dont mingle to others, hide
constantly and avoid crowds and gathering just because of these physical
problems. There are teen agers who even hates themselves because of that and
end up being miserable. Tell me, are you one of those arent you? Yes many of the
youth nowadays experience that. They create a prison to lock themselves up and
penalize themselves in isolation.

1. You will now return to your small groups, the same group at
the start of this session. You will form again a close circle
facing the center.
2. There will be a facilitator that will be assigned to you, he will
be bringing a set of items and place it in the middle.
3. At my command, I want you all to take a closer look at the
items without picking them yet. Look carefully at every item,
its color, texture, shape and etc.
4. At my command again, you are to pick one or two items
from amongst those before you that best represents who
you are as a whole. Select the item that speaks about your
life, experiences and your personality. Be very careful in
selecting, choose only the item that really reminds you the
most.
Page 45
Did you understand the instructions? Well then, we will first pray.
Everybody please stand.
(Play Video: Prayer of Saint Francis. After praying the facilitators
assigned per group can now enter and join the small groups. When everyone is
settled the activity can now begin. As the sharing goes, play As the Deer for
background music. Not too loud that it can distract the participant but just
enough to cover unwanted noises. After all the participants in each group
finished sharing, let them stay in their circle and wait for all groups to finish before
giving them a short break. This session end with this activity.)

1. On the next page of your Recollection Diary, you will find the page
with the title My Likes and Dis Likes.
2. There is a table with blank cells only the headers.
3. On the left part of the table, is says What I like about my then
three sub cells with titles Physical & Personality, Family and Life
Situations. Directly opposing that is a similar table that says the
same content but with the title What I hate about my
4. You will be given 10 minutes to fill up this cells with as much answer
as you want.
5. On the table What I like about my you are to write what you like
about your physical features, face, color of the skin, hair etc. Also,
what you like about your family, your parents, brothers and sisters
and relatives. And on Life Situations, what you like about your life
status. The way you live, the kind of life that you have at present.
6. Then you are to do the same with the opposing table of your hates
on the same category.
7. Ones done, we will discuss what you wrote.
Analysis of Answers
PHYSICAL DISLIKES:
Now that everyone is done writing, we will now analyze what you wrote.
(At this point, ask the participants to read loudly what he wrote on each tables.
Three to five participants is ok. As one is reading what he had written, the
speaker can work out their answers making comments but not relating it yet to
the topic to be discussed.).
Page 47
These things makes us so upset that sometimes we even curse our parents, want
then dead or have them replaced. Some even gets stow away just out of
discontent f their families.
But, what would you feel if you see this video.
(Play Video: Silent of Love)
Deepening:
Question, What did you see in the video? Who are the characters, how
do they interact with each other? What did you notice about the attitude of the
girl? His relationship to his father? (Ask the participants and extract their answer
in every question before deepening the point.)
In the video we see that the girl wanted to have a different father. She
wants a father that can speak, that can scold her, can give her pointers a father
who cares. But unfortunate for the father, he can never be for he was born mute.
He can never speak.
So, what now? What do you prefer? We dont like our parents who are
minding our every business (pakialamero) and we also dont like if they dont
mind us at all. Where then are parents would place themselves in our life?
The problem is this, none of us understood the reality of who our parents
are.
Let us look at it in two points,
First, in the video, the father is born mute. He can never speak. Only
God can make him speak. But the girl fails to see that. She cant see that her
father is born that way. Instead of understanding her father, she condemns him.
And this closes the girls mind. She cant see that even if her father is mute he still
loves her. In the later part of the video we see that the father wrote trying to
explain everything to his daughter. That even if he cant speak he still loves her
and cares for her.
Relating it back to your life. There are instances wherein we dont feel
proud about our parents. We feel ashamed if their work is not that appealing
like a house maid, a farmer, laundry laborer and domestic worker.
Sometimes, there are those children who really and verbally speaks of
wishing to have their parents replaced or wished to had been born to a different
family. But the question is, Have we ever think that what if they are really like
that?
Page 52
But what would you feel is you are like this guy?
(Show Video: I Love Living Life)
Deepening:
Question, how do you feel after watching that video? (Let them answer
before going deeper) in the video we see Nick, a man born with no arms and
no legs and yet he is living his life to the fullest. Seemingly, he is like a normal
human being when it comes to what he had been up to in his life. But how?
How in the world do you think Nick could live with that knowing that he is
absolutely not normal?
It is because, Nick is not looking at his deformities as a curse and an
anomaly to be troubled about. But rather a special condition given by God to
make him especial.
For him, his condition is nothing more but a physical challenge in doing
his day to day affair but not a barrier that hinders him from doing it.
Often, we have something that we dont like in our body and as a result,
we, by the way we see it, creates a barrier between us and life itself. And it is
this barrier that affects the most important aspects of our life. That are;
1. The way we interact with others,
2. How we live our life, and
3. How we plan our future.
These three are the very essence of being alive. And life itself revolves
in these three principles. Many of us wants to live their life to the fullest but ends
up being unsatisfied even after 80 to a hundred years of living because they
fail to live life the way it must be lived. Life is not about consuming food every
day, its not about being super rich, its not about being very beautiful that
even the characters of mythology would get envy at you.
Life my friends is about the people you meet and the life you build with
them. It is about the way we live every minute of every day. It is about how we
see ourselves in the future and working it out all throughout the way.
Page 49
For some of us, because of the physical dislikes that we have, we feel
that we are less worthy of living life. But that is totally not true. Going back to
Nick we see that he himself had seemingly had been neglected by nature the
moment he was conceived. He has no arms and no legs. How in the world will
he then should live? How will he eat? Can he go to places to places? How?
Would others criticize him? What will be his future? These are the questions that
would fill the mind of anyone who would see Nick. But Nick himself dont see it
that way.
For Nick, his body, the way he looks is not important. What is important
for him is that he is alive. And that very idea had been his motivation to try and
do what a normal man would do with all his appendages. He plays games, eats
his favorite food, he even go to school and even finish college. For him what is
important is that he has his life. A life that is a gift from God and whatever this
gift looks like, he loves it just the same.
And even if he falls down, he gets back up without a frizz because for
him, if he did not try to get up he wont get up. That even if he fails a hundred
times, what will he do? He will get up a hundred times. For life is more than what
we see in who we are and what we look like.
Life is about seeing what is good in it and not the bad. Remember the
story of Job? Job said to his wife after all thats good was taken from him and all
thats left are agonies, he said, Must we only accept the good and not the
troubles?.
Life indeed is more than what we see. Life is all about being thankful of
all the good that comes and still, the more thankful for the bad that comes. For
with this bad circumstances, we tend to be much closer to God and appreciate
what He had given to us.
I will ask you? When was the last time that you stand in front of the mirror
and said, Lord, thank you for this gift I see. Is it not that many would rather say,
What a handsome man I see. Or Im so pretty I thank God Im not ugly.
Or how about after seeing that you have a dark colored face, uneven
skin tone, dark eye lids and so on, you would press thick powder and make up
just to hide them. Did you ever spend time thanking God that at the least you
have a normal face that could see, hear, smell and feel.
When you wake up and see the sun and everything around you, you
should be thankful for some are blind and had not ever seen what you are
seeing.
Page 50
When you breathe and smell the fragrant odors of the flowers, the air
and nature be thankful for some breathe their last.
When you walk, or run or enjoy playing games with your feet be thankful
for some uses wheel chairs just to go around. The worst, some have no legs.
Every time you can hear music, be it a noise to you or a soothing
melody be thankful for some cant hear. They live in absolute silence.
When you talk, or sing be thankful for some dont even have the ability
to make a sound. It is hard for them to converse.
The lesson in this part of our recollection is for you to realize that;
FAMILY DISLIKES:
Now lets go to the second cell in your diary. What do you hate about
your family? (ask a participant to read his answer) most of us in simple terms
hates it when our family gets into our ways. (Nakikialam masyado)
Would you agree if I say that most of us feels irritated when our family
members becomes the hindrance that keeps us from doing what we want?
Im sure you do. Such as;
Your tuck in bed, on the high pitch of sleeping then suddenly awaken
and asked to do some chores. Or you are enjoying texting or playing video
games on your phones when suddenly asked again to do some errands.
Many feels angry when they are busy gossiping with friends when
suddenly asked to go home. We hate it when our parents, usually our mother
talks so much and scold us so much. We hate it when there are visitors ten
suddenly our parents would interrupt and talk about your first walk, first talk and
other embarrassing memories from childhood.

What if your parents are just vendors, or a farmer? What if your parents did not
study the same that you do thats why they are illiterate? What if you mother is
really a high toned speaker that everything she says seems to be in shouting?
Did you ever think of that?
For sure, that they too, if given the chance would change the way they
are now. But what if destiny dictates that they should be like that. Did it ever
occur to you to take some time to understand their situation? Or is it that it is
only but yourself that you are thinking that you wish them to be someone that
would fit your illusions?
Second, in the video even mute the father still loves her daughter so
much and cares about her just as much. We have seen that even if he is
handicapped, he did his best to work just to give her a good life. The father
services her to school every day, he works endlessly and even cares to buy a
cake just to show he loves her.
He did not let her deformity to hinder his role in being a good father to
her. Still the girl fails to see it.
Now in your life, have you ever tried to look at the efforts made by your
parents to give you a good life amidst their poor and unconventional
situations?
Have you ever thought that, even if your parents works as a laborer, a
fisherman, a farmer, a maid and other blue collar job they work hard just to
sustain your familys daily needs?
Or that even if they are illiterate, they try their very best to send you to
school to reach what they did not able to reach?
Have you ever thought that, the reason why your parents brag your
childhood to your guest is that they are so proud of you?
In every day, have you ever thought that the reason why they push you
to do chores is because they want you to learn the skills you need to have in
life?
Or have you ever thought that the reason why they are so strict with
you when it comes to your friends, textmates, companions and acquaintances
is because they are protecting you from harm?
Page 53
Have you ever thought of that? Often, we just feel what we want to feel about
it. But we fail to feel what they would feel about it. Our family is Gods gift to us
more than anything else.
Thank that you have enough of what you need and occasionally have
more than what you can have, for others barely have something to keep them
alive.
All that is in it is of Gods choice and He know that it is the perfect family
for us. Thus we must always remember that;
Concluding Lessons:
We may never have the perfect parents and family, but our
parents and our family will always love perfectly.
LIFE SITUATION:
Now how about your dislikes in your life situation or status of living? What
do we often dont like in our life?
Often, we becomes so accustomed to the material possessions that this
world can offer. That the moment we dont have one, or any of them, it seems
that for us, life no longer has meaning. Many of us our problems goes with having
no new shoes, new dress, new gadget, fancy food, money and the rest.
But somewhere across the world, some people are less fortunate than
you are. Watch this video;
Before we end this topic, we will have another activity to see whether or not
you truly understood what we just talked about.
Concluding Activity:
Activity 6: Theres More that I have
Mechanics:
Let us thank that we are alive and we have a body and is capable of
doing many things.
Be thankful that we have a family that cares and takes care of you, every
day more and more kids grows without a family.
(As this activity is being done play in background The Power of Your
Love Repeatedly until all are done.)
(Play Video: Across the World. Because of this video, this topic is selfexplanatory for the participants. No further discussion is needed except the
emphasis of the pointers below. Nonetheless, the speaker can add points and
examples related to this topic to further enhance the discussion.)
You see my friends, there are more things that we should be thankful off
in life than what we agonize about it.

The story of the sisters Martha and Mary is one of the best reference I
understanding how to live life with God. What they did, are acts of being with
God.
These are;
Welcoming Jesus:
Relating it to your life, how do you welcome Christ in your life? Or do
you ever welcome Him into your life? In your schedule look carefully, which one
is an act of welcoming Christ? Do you recognize that Christ is around every day
trying His best to enter into you but you dont notice?
In the story, Martha and Mary welcomed Jesus by letting him dwell
inside their home. On our part, what the passage tells us is welcoming Jesus in
our life, in our heart and letting Him dwell and reside in there. But do we do
that?
There are three acts of welcoming God into our life,
1. Going to Church every Sunday,
2. Praying
3. Recognizing God in the daily affairs.
Like during breakfast or every time you eat, do you pray and give
thanks to God for your food? When you go to school, do you ask Jesus to join
you to school and be your guide?
When you are at school, do you ask Jesus to help you in your studies
as if he is your mentor? When you go out, going somewhere to do things, do
you ask God to be with you?
When you are with your friends, do you ask Jesus to join your affair?
When you do your chores, you do your assignments, you live your day, do you
Ask God to be with you? Or do we only recognize God when we are in trouble?
Page 63
Say after attending the mass every Sunday, of course, the preacher
gives us lessons and challenges to do in our life. The chance to change old
ways but what do we do? Often, we forget what we just heard, and the
moment we step out of the church, as if nothing had happened.
My dear young friends, finding God in our every day is the motivation
that we must all have in journeying through life. For without God, we can go
nowhere.
At school, provided that you asked God to be with you along the way
and as you go to school, what do you do after? many of us once at school we
becomes ignorant that we fail to see the real lessons being thought to us. Study
hard, be industrious, be courteous, be kind be gentle. These are basic values
taught to us right, but why is it that once we leave the premises of our schools
we change? As if we learned nothing. Ever heard that from your parents said
to you? You learned nothing?
Conclusion:
Our life is made only for one thing!
1. Welcoming Him
2. Serving Him
3. Listening to Him
Finding God in every day is what we should do. If Christ sis with us we
are;
1. Happier
2. More Contented
3. Have more friends
4. Open minded and mindful
5. Successful
6. Holy
Page 68
We must do the effort of keeping God in and not pushing Him out
again.
In the story Martha prepares the food, she got too busy and tired that
when she noticed her sister not helping her, she complained to Jesus, ad what
did Jesus replied? Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many
thing. There is only a need for one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and
it will not be taken from her.
Jesus told Martha that she should not busy with her so much with
troubles while he is in their home. For she only asks one thing while he is with
them, and Mary did it so it wont be taken away from her.
What is it exactly? What did Mary did that is better than the service of
Martha?
Mary, she listened to Jesus.
Listening to Jesus:
After Jesus enters their house, Mary probably lead Jesus to a
comfortable seat and talked to Him and listen as Jesus speaks. If you are going
to your friends house for a visit, what would you expect from him? Would you
demand him food? Of course not, we simply wants to spend some time with us
as we visit. Right?
Page 65
This is what happened to Mary, as soon as she welcomes Jesus into their
home she talked to her because probably, Mary know that that is what Jesus
wants. Someone to share His travels, journeys, experiences and the things that
had happened to Him and would happen soon. Is it not what we do too? We
want a company to just simply to talk about?
That is why, Jesus rebuked Martha and affirms Mary for Mary did what is
better service to the Lord. Listening to what He says and maintaining a
conversation.
Relating that to our life, after welcoming Jesus, do we maintain a
conversation with Him? Or we dont talk to Him at all?
There are two categories of listening to God. One is, by having a sense
of consciousness, prudence and morality. We can have this by
-
God uses any of these ways to talk to us and tell us what He wants us to
do, all that it tales is for us to listen.
In your life, in your everyday, after you welcome God in, do you listen to
Him and talk to Him?
When you are at school? If Jesus is really with you and your talking with
Him, he would tell you to listen to your teacher. Now, do you listen to your
teacher? Or are you one of those students who do a lot of stupid things while in
class? Making drawings, minding their hairs more than the lessons, after
attendance, exit immediately and during exams, the neck extends like a giraffe.
Christ would tell you to listen and learn for it is for your future. Some of
you would go to college some dont. for those who will, you will see that college
is much harder and if you bring with you your high school easy go lucky attitudes
it will be you who will be in trouble.
Page 66
At home, is God is really with you, He would tell you to listen to what
your parents are saying. Listen to their teachings, love and respect them, dont
be the idiot making annoying faces when talking to, obey their commands
and you will think properly.
In your daily habits, god would tell you to stop your vices and many of
your none-sense affairs that either brings you harm or lead you to nowhere.
(at this point show the video: Smoking Kills)
The second is by being mindful of the signs that God Himself is showing
us. This is done by;
-
For those who wont, as you face the real world you would see and realize that
the real life lessons taught in school like being industrious, patient, attentive and
clever minded will be your arsenal and if you have not acquired such skills, how
will you survive and keep up?
Will you continue now that you know God is telling you to stop?
Also, if God is really with you and you are talking to Him He would tell
you to,
- Love your neighbors,
- Learn to forgive easily
- Respect your friends and dont lead them to harm
- Be mindful of your words and actions
In short, God would tell you to have a heart, be mindful of doing what
is right and live a morel life.
In your daily life, if God is really with you, he would tell you that,
- If there are a lot of fallen leaves on the yard, you should sweep it off.
- If there are a stock of laundry and your free, youd wash it all,
- If your parents are out for work and theyll be home late, you would
prepare the food for all of you,
- If you would see your parents so busy with a lot of chores, you would
help immediately,
- If you see someone begging on the street the least you could is show
compassion,
- If you hear people talking of gossips about someone else, you would
know first the truth.
In short, God would tell you to read the signs that He is showing to you.

1. The Transport: this will be the transfer of the participants from the
preparation room to the prayer room. It will imitate the actual
encounter with God wherein in the motivation, they will be asked
to go on a journey with God.
2. The Prayer and Encounter: the main prayer activity itself. It is a
modified Tezae Prayer focusing on the use of inspiring music and
songs with reflections on different parts of the participants life. In
here, the goal is for the participants to have an actual encounter
with God as they evaluate their life. As the prayer goes on in the
prayer room there should only be a very limited number of
facilitators watching. Only those who can assist once a
participant goes on hysteria and faint. Water and emergency
fainting kit should be prepared. The moderator at this part shall
play the pre-identified songs in the order presented and give his
reflections in emotional and realistic tone.
THE MOTIVATION:
(As the participants enter the room one by one, the moderator should
not say a word. Your face should be serious but not angry, this is in order to
immediately inform the participants that the session is a serious activity. You can
direct the participants in their scattered seating arrangements by simply
pointing your finger. Only when everything is settled that you must speak and
give the motivation. The suggested talk is in English, but can be translated into
Tagalog. The reflection in the motivation and the prayer proper is in Tagalog. Be
mindful of the mood.)
We are now in the second to the last activity of our recollection. As you
enter you might have noticed that everything is silent and the mood is serious. It
is because, this is a serious activity. Earlier you had laughed, this time, there will
be none of that. So I request from you that you too should be serious and treat
this activity holy. Why? Because our activity is, Prayer.
As we start this recollection we have identified that the final destination
of our travel will be with God. To meet God and to talk to God. Do you want to
talk to God? Of course you do, right. We all do. But before that let us first discuss
a few pointers about prayer.
What is a prayer? How do you pray? (Ask their answer)

For the Moderator: At this point, the mood is set and the participants
are ready for the transport. One by one, the moderator and an assistant will
slowly and carefully blind fold the participants starting from the one nearest to
the door. Slowly, the moderator will call the transporters to pick up the
participants and assist them on the transport. When all the participants are blind
folded, the moderator can now proceed to the prayer room and let the
transporters pick up the rest of the participants.
The main prayer activity will begin right after all of the participants are
transported to the prayer room. The same wide spacing of seating of the
participants should again be observed. No participants should touch one
another or seat too close that they could reach to one another. As they enter
the room, the same music that is played at the motivation should be the same
music played for continuity.
For the Moderator: The main prayer activity is divided into stages of
reflection using the following arrangement of music and videos to be played;
Evaluation of Self:
Evaluation of Life Situation:
Reconciliation
Ama Namin
Huwag kang mangamba
Ugoy ng Duyan
Hindi Kita Malilimutan
Sino Ako
Sayo Lamang
Tanging Yaman
O Hesus, Hilumin mo
Fathers Love Letter
Akoy Iyong Iyo
Presented here are suggested reflections, the moderator can create his
own set of reflections based on the suggested themes. The reading of the
reflections should be timed accordingly. Watch the proper timing. The first
reflection should be read shortly after the enthronement and while the next song
is playing.
Page 76
Shallow as they may be, these reasons why we pray are all true and
they are correct. In fact, we cannot say that they are wrong because again
prayer is a conversation with God. And God entertains every communication
effort made to reach Him.
But there is more to prayer that what we know and what we do. Prayer
is actually a response to Gods call. Simply put it this way by using the cellphone
as an example. When God wants to talk to you, He would dial up your number
and try to call you. When you answer, there will only be a prayer.
Some of us think that prayer is us calling to God, but it is not entirely like
that. Most of the time, it is God who do the calling. And He always calls, the
problem is that we seldom answer. Sometimes we hang u, other times we
ignore and in worst cases we put down the call in the middle of the
conversation.
PRAYER PROPER:
Enthronement
Evaluation of Relationship with God:
Evaluation of Life-Family:
People often see god as a problem solver that is there to run to when
in a big trouble. Some people pray when they are going to undertake
something and they need Gods blessings. (sight other examples)
In the Bible we could read that in all cases, the prophets prays to can
only talk to God if God calls them first. Like Abraham in the pasture fields, Moses
in the burning bush, Joseph in his dreams, Elijah in the dessert, Jeremiah in the
temple and many more. God is the first who do the effort of calling us.
Why is that so? It is because we humans are so busy with our life that
we find no time to talk to God. But since He loves us so much, He do the effort
of calling to us. That is how God loves us. Jesus said that, before we pray, Our
Father in Heaven know already what we are going to pray. That there is no
need for any long elaborate and ritualistic praying. We simple have to
recognize Him and answer His call.
Most of the time, we pray at the Church, at our bedroom before we
sleep and anywhere that is quiet. But there is more to the simple venue of
praying. Since prayer is a response to Gods call at a given moment, and God
can call us anywhere that we could be at then wherever we are we can
always pray. Be it inside the jeepney, inside the classroom, as you walk in the
street or ride a bike you can pray to God. Even as you eat, in your mind you
can pray to God thanking Him of the meal or talk to Him about anything. For
God does not mind the place, but he merits the sincerity.
Page 73
Jesus said that, when we pray we must go to a room, close it and pray
in private. What is the most private room? Our hearts. If we could only open our
hearts and find peace in there we will have a very suitable place for us to pray.
But the problem you might say, is how to recognize whether God is
already calling you or not? The answer is, opening up your senses and what we
have talked in the last session, being mindful of the signs. As what we have
learned in the last topic, God is everywhere and He speaks to us in many
different ways. All we have to do is be sensitive and open minded to see and
read the signs.
In this prayer activity that we are going to do, we will give you the
chance to answer to God as he calls for you. He is here now with us just waiting
for you to come and speak with Him. Once you do, tell Him all you want to say
for He is eager to hear from you. All your hearts content, your worries, your
troubles and your supplications say it all to Him. He is your Father, Our Father,
dont be ashamed to speak to Him.
Are you ready?

This is now the last part of our recollection. Finally we are nearing the
end and we are now about to see our destination. What is it again? (Ask them
to recite it loudly). All of our activities and talks are all directed in reaching that
destination. Now, you will make the final decision.

(Hesus Hilumin Mo)
Alam ng Panginoon na ikaw ay nagdanas ng matinding pighati.
Kaguluhan sa isip at puso, mga pasakit sa buhay. Sa murang edad ay
madami ka nang pinag daanan. Ibaling mo sa Diyos ngayon ang iyong
attension at hayaan mo siyang ikaw ay paghilumin.

My Redeemer Lives
Nicole Mullen
Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
And who told the ocean you can only come this far?
And who showed the moon where to hide till evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?
Chorus:
Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testifies
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives
The very same God
That spins things in orbit
Runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory
(Chorus 2times)
He lives to take away my shame
And He lives,forever I'll proclaim
That the payment for my sins
Was the precious life He gave
And now He's alive and
There's an empty, Grave!
And I know My Redeemer lives
I know My Redeemer lives let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry, I know My Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify, Let this life within me cry
I know My Redeemer
I know My Redeemer He lives
I know, I know My Redeemer lives
I know My Redeemer lives
He lives.
Page 84
Whatever happens, know that God is alive. And that He is always with
you. Whatever obstacle you go through as long as God is with you, you can
overcome it. Just like Job. He knows that there is God and that he is a righteous
man. That God will never leave him and that all is just a test. Yes he did question
God why did it all happened to him but still, God was not angry for Job admits
that he is nothing compared to God.
Such is what we must do in our daily life. To do what is righteous and
trust God in all things in life. Our redeemer lives. And whatever we experience
in life we can push it through with God.
Allow me to share this inspiring video before I give you your final
activity.
(Play Video: My Redeemer Lives)
Did yu see the efforts of the father for his son? The father is willing to
endure every pain every hardship every obstacle just in order to make his son
happy. He always say yes.
The father in the video reflects the attitude of our own Heavenly
Father, our God. The Lord loves us so much that He in all His holiness and might
will go miles and miles just to provide all our needs. God Loves you, more than
you have ever imagined. He is your redeemer, Jesus your savior.
Now, take back your Recollection Diaries. Open it on the page with
the title My Journey Begins. Write now your commitment to God. What will
you do in order to live a life with God. You face your buddies and help one
another in writing. Remember, this will now be your vision board. It will serve as
your reminder of the destination of your life. You will be given enough time to
share and write.
(Give the participants 20 to 30 minutes to write. After all is done. play
again the video of My Redeemer Lives and ask the participants to join singing.
Repeat the song two more times in order for the participants to familiarize the
song.)
Before ending the recollection, the bible should be exited.
