ITL AND ME

By : Sr. Rita 

At the first time I heard about ITL (International Training Leadership), it spontaneously made me getting stomachache and headache. I imagined that there will so many challenges along that time. Suddenly, it made me closing my eyes and being silent.

No. I believe in God. He himself takes me to be here. He holds my hands to new place where I will be educated by many kind of experiences. Everyday I will always be faced by many problems and I have to try believing in Him and being silence with Jesus Christ and observing all with “a new glasses”.

Lord has called me. He has prepared everything I need especially great faith. Surely I believe in  Him who will always help me for ever and ever. First of all, The Lord teaches me in being a good listener, respecting the differences and also having mutual respect, being here not for “pride competition” but gradually for building myself to be loyal. I will try and try again.

ITL is not a monster that scares me but I’ll experience that ITL is a place where I am able to improve myself. It is like a dessert where saves life and prosperous. The only one word can say is thanksgiving. Thank You Lord, thank You Jesus Christ and thank you my beloved sisters who belief and support me so that I may join on this occasion.

WHO AM I...

By Sr. Divina P. SPM

It’s kind a question that requires a lot of time to answer. Why? Since each person does not really know him/herself well. The consequences are possibly people would feel as inferior people, has no confidence, jealousy, low self-esteem, pride and so on.

We may think and ask ourselves: Who am I? There must be something more we  can gain inside within us.

Every human is unique.

We need to see ourselves in advance with what we are real, others do not see in ourselves and we must be honest  with ourselves about the values, weaknesses, and strengths that we have. After seeing all of us from small portraits to date, the memories, life stories, the success or the sorrow of rejection of family or friends even the most painful failures in life, then we are able to  understand ourselves more better. After seeing our self-portrait we must restore our true identity and keep making positive self-image.

Develop your own potential

 Notes on human-centered events in the past and present and will move to the future. Are we sure of our identity? Who we are sure to be? This question is one of the basic emotional attitude about yourself. If we are never sure of our identity, even deny our own existence, there will variety of negative feelings will arise, such as: feelings of worthlessness, loneliness, and fear that continues to bother. However, if we understand who we are and accept the identity, then the positive feelings and safe stopping in our hearts. Accomplishment that we achieved by developing the abilities themselves are part of indetifying ourselves. Unfortunately wedge emotion, conflict, anxiety often prevent us to develop ourselves and our identity. Feelings of inadequacy are the biggest obstacles in developing themselves.  So thought of failure is due to inability. When they are not. Change the way we view ourselves to be positive. Maybe there are a lot of bitterness that we experience, but let's take a self-portrait when we feel happy and appreciated. Is not it better to make our people feel calm and safe?

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.
