St Pio Day of Recollection 2019
St Pio Devotion Singapore is blessed to be able to organize a day of recollection this year with Retreat Master Fr. James Yeo, Rector of CTIS.
The theme for this year is All Things Work Out For Good To Those Who Love (Roman 8:28).
It will be good to remember what Padre Pio advised regarding this -
"If you suffer with resignation in doing His will, you do not offend Him but love Him. And your heart will find great comfort in remembering that in your hour of pain Jesus Himself suffers in you and for you. He did not abandon you when you fled from Him; why should he abandon you now that you are proving your love for Him by the martyrdom of your soul:"
(GF 174) ~St. Pio
The recollection was held at Catholic Spirituality Center last June 5th and we thank everyone who chose to spend their public holiday to join this very spirit-filled event with us. The recollection started with praise and worship and our Retreat Master shares his insightful thoughts and church teachings on Making Sense of Suffering, as well as the reasons and practical advices on how to become An Obedient Disciple of Christ. After a quick lunch and some fellowship, the recollection focused on the topic of Forgiveness, which as our Retreat Master has shared, may be the most difficult to do but an imperative step none the less for every Christian, as this will lead to much needed spiritual healing and discovering our true vocation to love just as how Christ loves us.
Mass was celebrated after the recollection, thanking God for making this event possible. Our Retreat Master Fr. James Yeo also performed blessing of oil and these were distributed to all the attendees of the recollection.
