Yes. I am home from the retreat. :)

This year, SAA changed the venue to Mater Ecclesiae Formation House in Cadlan, Pili, Cam Sur.

Everything was okay when we first arrived. The boys had common rooms, the girls had rooms that could fit 2 people only.

The food was amazing. :)

The first day, when we arrived late in the afternoon, no session started yet, and we had almost 0% knowledge of what the retreat expected us to do. The first session, we presented our mugs, gave them names and told their story. It was a fun laugh. But by the end of the day, we all knew that the second day would mean business.

So yesterday we got up to have Mass. It was a Sunday. And all the sessions were different now. The mood was more intense. I will not go indepth of what happened because of the fact that we made a promise that what happens there, stays there.

I learned alot from the Retreat. I got to know me more. I got to let out all I wanted others to know. I made closures, I felt appreciated.

Fashioned and Formed, as earthen vessels

Fragile and Easily Broken

Yet holding a treasure, a wealth untold

As earthen vessels we are.
