I had just finished my Online Retreat. This one's from the Jesuits of the Philippines. I made it,since Maundy Thursday, a daily morning habit.
I liked the way the retreat used the popular culture in relating the Message Christ has spread 2000 plus years ago. I liked the way it turned the internet from plainly a source of knowledge to a source of wisdom.
I also enjoyed the way they used pop music as reflection songs. It may be written intendedly for a love song, but it somehow relate as well the Love that is Eternal - the permanent love of Our God. I had, for the past few years, been relating my own love story with Him to the popular music. My friends in facebook or twitter would attest to that. I have been, in some instances, strucked by the Lord through this music, and I called it lovesong from my Savior. At the same time, I have my so called lovesong for my Savior. That would probably why I was, in a little way, became so attached with this online retreat.
I had just wrote this entry to say thank you to the men and women behind this wonderful idea. It wasn't the way we are accustomed to, but I honor them for braving the storm to reinvent and to reach out far to a bigger world. Kudos to everyone and happy easter.

Well said Romeo! :) ditto. :) kudos to the men and women behind the team indeed! If not for their online retreats, my Holy Weeks for the past three years wouldn't have been as meaningful and reflective.
