SERVING

I am among you as one who serves. Namely to see and to show the meaning of human being according God”s eyes,  not our own eyes is usually  opposite God’s.  The call of Jesus to us is to direct our life to His good news.

"Serving" invites us to always be ready to bear. Bear joy and bear the pain experienced by their partners. A phrase which I listen to that "when I do not have a shelter  I feel alone, bear this pain alone, bear this burden alone, and was not able to". Many voices are heard as an expression of the views of fellow eyes and sip the flavor.  People look at the existing spontaneous eye in front and at the tip of the tongue tastes flavors.  So to speak.

I was try contemplate about it. Who would think and want to see more in the eyes, and who wants to feel the sense of a deeper taste? What if it is comfortable and into it thinking there a process in it? Who really understands? The person who is truly present and alive in it, and follow a process that truly understand. Involved in the process of creating and directing. Sensitivity and acuity in seeing who is behind the eyes, and feel what is behind the expression of words. Give meaning to the existence of a process and values ​​championed. “Serving”,  living the function of leadership is how to build a mental change. How to invite people to really present where I am today, understand what to do, there is a willingness to share skills and abilities, build of  mental  mutually cultivate, foster responsibility, a sense of belonging,  ability to cooperate, human relationships of  healthy, foster creativity,  effectiveness  work and visionary. How to train sensitivity and acuity to understand and grasp the meaning. Think that sometimes limited to just a mentality, but we were told to assume that you're not a "runner". It is a process of finding what is the essential  way in this life to bring new society.

Serving means ready present and included in the process of building mentality. How to direct the life of the members toward our Lord’s good news. Serving present as a mother to feel happiness, pain and fatigue. Listen, give hope, distribute  of strength and love, direct  heart and mind to find what is valuable and essential in life. To shows the meaning of human in the  God’s eyes  that every human is precious.

I AM OK... YOU ARE OK ???

By Sr. Linda

In a relationship, have we asked, if I'm OK and you're OK?

If this becomes part of our lives, then we can be a communications consultant, both for myself and others. Because the core of human relationships is, I'm OK and YOU OK.

One time, I pondered and asked myself, why each discuss ideas, me and a friend arguing frequently, so the conversation becomes stagnant, even we have to postpone the talks to make a decision, when in fact it can be completed at that time.

But when we talk about things related to feelings, we can talk for hours and feel comfortable.

What exactly is the dominant situation in us when arguing?

I'm trying to remember the incident at the time and finally made ​​a conclusion, that in fact we portray ourselves as parents (parent ego). Parents who dominate, control, follow the standards and rules to become tighter. When this character appears, then there is tension.

In interpersonal communication, there are 3 stages of ego, that is:

Parent Ego - characterized by dominating, over protective and loving, assertive and critical. This is illustrated by those who set the standards and rules for others.

Adult Ego - In this attack the problem rationally minded the cold. In the adult state information gathered, carefully analyze it, generate alternatives, and make a logical choice.

Child Ego - subject and accordingly, lawless, emotional, fun, or rebellious. Characterization by a very immature behavior.

In building relationships and communication, we need to recognize the role of each person before making a judgment, whether the parent ego, ego adult, or child ego. By understanding the roles, relationships and communications I am getting better. I'm OK and you're OK.

A TEAM WORK

A team work is apart of every day life, weather in the community or at work, we are often expected to be a functional part of performing team, having a strong team will benefit any organization or a congregation and will led to make success. Based on our training a team building means knowing each other better among the members of the team in order to work together harmoniously to achieve common goal. How ever the reason to have a team work is that, effective leaders are able to manage relation ship within others and create positive outcomes and they can achieve more than they can do individually, to add on that the effective leadership require a good team both among the leaders of the congregation whom they lead.

In order to get the expected result of team building each member knows better and able to develop the personally mutual trust among the members of the team and growing in the sense of responsibility instead of blaming each other.

THREE STAR OF OUR CONGREGATION

By Sr. Delia

"We call ourselves Sisters of Our Lady" (Const p.15 par 1). Our Congregation is a religious institute which devotes its life to prophetic / apostolate work of the Church. We devote ourselves to the Lord or our neighbours who are created as the image of God through our service to the Church and the people. In order to devote ourselves to the Lord, every member is invited to be aware of the three stars of our congregation. 

The first star is our purpose as Sisters of Our Lady. Our purpose is to build 'a new society' in which the full equality of people is central. This new society can be described in three ways as  new heaven and new earth (Rev 21:1), home in which human beings will be recognized as sisters and brothers (Rev 21:3) and kingdom of God and His mercy, justice and peace Const p.17 par 2). In addition to this, Rev 21: 1-3 describe new society as Holy city, new Jerusalem and home of God. In this new society we gear our community life with full of happiness, joy, justice, charity, inner freedom, no more suffering, slavery and oppression.

The second star is vision. 'we have heard the call of Jesus. We want to orient our lives to his good news' (Const p.15 par 2), that is; in God's eyes  everyone is meaningful. Hence the vision of our congregation is the realization of the good news of the Lord that everyone is  precious, glorious, valuable, worthy enough and meaningful. In this, all members of the congregation are encouraged to acquire the fruits of the Holy Spirit such as; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, trustfulness, gentleness and self control (Gal 5:22-23).

The third star is mission. Our mission is to serve God in our selves and in others. Through this we find the kingdom of God; that is mercy, justice and peace and thats  new society where people are recognized as brothers and sisters.
