Melanie invited me to attend a lenten recollection prepared by IYG (International Youth Gathering) in Osaka on February 24. It’s been a while since I last attended any kind of recollection so I said “yes”.
The speaker for that recollection was Consul Senen Mangalile of the Philippine Consulate at Osaka. And someone shared after the talk. I learned many things in the talk and sharing but there are two words that would best summarize what the lenten recollection was about. LOVE and IMMERSION. Immerse ourselves in God’s love for us so we could love ourselves and love others as well.
