Last October 17, 2023, the Archdiocese of Manila Ministry of Health Care, Hospital Chaplains and Chaplaincy Ministers on retreat at the Jesuit Retreat House in Banawa Hills, Cebu City. Thank you Lord for speaking to us aloud in silence. As we go back to our mission in the hospital, may we continue to hear you in the silence of our patients who can hardly speak due to illness or muted by difficult circumstances.
The Association of Hospital Chaplains and Chaplaincy Ministers of the Archdiocese of Manila took a break last week for (RPR and R and R) retreat, prayer and reflection in Cebu and rest and recreation in Bohol. We did a pilgrimage to century old churches and enjoyed the beauty of nature in the beach and in the mountains. In the beginning some of us felt we had no time, but we made time. We felt we had no resources, but we have the main source of blessing – God who provided us with generous friends. So the devil failed to keep us “busy”. We are back fully and spiritually recharged for the mission. Thanks to all our friends who supported us. (Rev. Fr. Marlito Ocon, SJ)
