In the Gospel of John, we are told that Andrew met Jesus, with that burning zeal went and found his brother Simon Peter and brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John, but you shall be called Cephas". What did Jesus saw in Peter? What does Jesus sees in you today? How does one keep the flame alive? In what ways do I share or give testimony of the love of Jesus to others? As leaders, we are to seek Him, receive Him, know Him, love Him, serve Him and be like Him, you know….. it’s all about Jesus.

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. What is Recollection
Merriam-Webster: the act of
remembering something
Something in the past that is
remembered
Spiritual life: attention to the presence
of God in the soul.
Withdrawal of the mind from external
& earthly affairs in order to attend to
God
3. Recollection is two-fold:
• Active recollection – may be acquired by
our own efforts aided by the ordinary
grace of God
• Passive recollection – does not depend
upon our own efforts, but is an
extraordinary grace infused by God, by
which He summons together the
faculties of the soul and manifests His
presence & His perfections. (Mystical
writers: first degree of infused
contemplation)
4. Presence of God
• Doctrinal – faith that God is present by
His Essence everywhere and in all things
by reason of His Immensity
• Ascetical – to live in the presence of God;
the exercise of reason directed by faith –
God as present to the mind, & live in the
consciousness of His presence.
• Devotional – practice the devotion of
living in the presence of God:
Lively faith in that Divine presence, that He is
near & within us
When distracted the mind, “The Lord is here”
When occupied, keep the mind recollected –
breathing secret aspiration for God
5. … our attitude towards our work has a great
deal to do with the persons we are becoming

6. Vision and Mission
What do you
understand about
vision?
What kind of feelings
accompanied your
vision?

7. Jesus
Luke 4:14-21 “Proclamation of the Mission of Jesus”
– After baptism (by John in the Jordan river)
– Jesus tempted in the wilderness
Jesus acted with the power of the Spirit, return to
Galilee
He begun teaching in the synagogue (as he usually
did)
Nazareth – where He was brought up
Book of the prophet Isaiah: ..to bring good news
to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives, new
sight to the blind, to free the oppressed, announce
the Lord’s year of mercy
8. Confirmation
Matthew 11:1-6
“…when John the Baptist heard in prison about
the activities of Jesus, he sent a message by his
disciples, asking him: “Are you the one who is to
come, or should we expect someone else?”
Jesus answered them, “Go back and report to
John what you hear and see: the blind see, the
deaf hear, the dead are brought back to life and
good news is reaching the poor..”
9. Serving that goes beyond good intentions
“there are always many questions requiring
answers as we seek to gain direction for our
lives.”

13. Teacher
..if a child cannot learn in the way we teach…
We must teach in a way the child can learn.”
Teacher should be a role model…
Being a teacher is not a role that one plays.
It is a life that one lives.(Antonio Toralba)
–Teacher teaches students, not subjects
–Teacher teaches ideas, not “loyalties”
(the ultimate motive ought to be service of God and society)
–Teacher teaches so that students learn and
serve.
