Submerged
Carta Post Santa Fe 2023
Hello, a little to tell you my story, I am a Son, brother, friend, I like to play the guitar and sing, I really like to help people with whatever they need and I am very willing, I am a bit disorganized and a bit spaced out, with all this and much more I immersed myself in the getaway we recently experienced.
The truth is I arrived very eager to play songs, and learn more about why the group was here and what kind of new activities we were going to do, but I also lived it in a freer way, not knowing what was going to happen, not asking about what was next, not asking names or ages, but living the moment, living what came, making the most of what I could once again, meeting with very Godly people.
The truth is that at first I didn’t understand why during the holy hours they kept so much silence, or why I saw most people writing in notebooks or on their phones, generally, my adorations are more about thinking internally about what is happening to me, talking with Jesus but more with background instrumental music, the silence surprised me a lot, which at first was a bit uncomfortable but then being able to reach the depths of your being and talk more calmly with Jesus.
It helped me a lot to reflect on my life, how I am, what path I have to take from now on, maybe I was coming a bit tired from a service I was giving in my church and I needed that renewal, that reflection and those desires that routine and clashes with people had been wearing down; also, thinking if today my charism is the same as a long time ago or if God is calling me to a project, to a different work but that I have to live in this moment.
In this getaway I met great people who taught me that religion is not an obligation, but that one is free and through that freedom this love for God arises, they taught me the inclusion of people, I remember that all the time they wanted us to participate if we wanted in the choir, liturgy, decoration and activities, they also taught me the transparency that exists among them and that being sincere is the most important thing to do.
I really loved the getaway and from now on, I wanted to get a little more involved in this charism, to be able to participate in whatever is missing and well to be able to continue serving God in prayer, adoration and in others.
