Sixth Day of Novena to St. Benedict

Tuesday, 07 July 2020 11:13

"The pandemic has shown us that despite all the advances we have made, we are not in control" (Gatmaitan, 2020).

Our experience of the quarantine awakens in us the need to reorder, refocus, and reawaken our faith in God.

In the midst of the seeming hopelessness and helplessness we experience because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Lord invites us to reorder, refocus, and reawaken ourselves. Let us reflect on the Benedictine Hallmark of Discipline and pray together with Ms. Arlyn Gatmaitan, Head of the Bedan Identity and Mission Office, on the sixth day of our novena to Saint Benedict.

"Saint Benedict is inviting us to keep our hearts and minds open to the ways of God that are moving us" (Escullar, 2020).

Let us journey together as we learn to conform to Christ by turning away from sin and by living a life of faith. Conversatio, our gradual transformation to the values of Christ, plays a vital role in our spiritual life as Christians. On the fourth day of our novena to Saint Benedict, Mr. Ferdinand Escullar of the Center for Campus Ministry invites us to trust in the Spirit of God in casting away all hindrances that keep us from following Christ's footsteps.

Third Day of Novena to St. Benedict

Saturday, 04 July 2020 11:05

St. Benedict's community is a place where the practice of charity is lived out on a daily basis—where God is encountered in the other and where we find the way to receive God's offer of life and love" (Mendoza, 2020).

Saint Benedict describes the monastic community as a "school of the Lord's service." It entails a sense of stability, which means being committed to accept the other as a brother or sister, foster a sense of belongingness, and play a vital part in contributing to the welfare of the community.

Let us join Fr. Anthony Ma. Mendoza, OSB, Vice President for Administrative Services and Head of the Campus Ministry, as he leads us in reflection and prayer on the third day of our novena to Saint Benedict.
