Christ the Kingdom come! The monthly parish recollection day is scheduled to take place on the 3rd of June, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, at the St. John and Sylvia Church in Acacia. The event’s theme is based on Psalm 119:105, emphasizing the importance of divine guidance in our lives. This day of spiritual reflection and renewal is open to all Christians, who are warmly welcomed to participate.
During the recollection day, a series of activities have been planned to foster a deepening of faith and communion with God. The day will commence with the recitation of the Rosary, a powerful prayer that invites participants to meditate on the life of Jesus and seek the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Following this, there will be moments of reflection and adoration, allowing individuals to contemplate God’s word and experience His presence in a serene atmosphere.
Furthermore, the Sacrament of Confession will be available, offering an opportunity for spiritual healing and the forgiveness of sins. This sacrament enables individuals to reconcile with God and receive His grace. The day will culminate with a Holy Mass, a central act of worship in the Christian tradition. Through the celebration of the Eucharist, participants will unite in prayer and receive the body and blood of Christ, strengthening their spiritual bond with Him.
The monthly parish recollection day at St. John and Sylvia Church on the 3rd of June promises to be a spiritually enriching experience for all participants. With its theme centered around Psalm 119:105, the day will focus on the guidance and illumination that God’s word provides in our lives. Through the various activities such as the Rosary, reflection, adoration, confession, and Holy Mass, attendees will have the opportunity to deepen their faith, seek God’s forgiveness, and renew their commitment to living as Disciples of Christ. Christians from all walks of life are cordially invited to join this day of prayer, reflection, and fellowship as they continue their spiritual journey.
