My Experience of God's Love
I just wanted to express my gratitude to God through the Daughters of Carmel nuns especially Sister Theo for helping me dealing with my internal issues in just a short time I was at this particular retreat in Seattle last weekend (April 10-12, 2015). I actually wasn't part of the retreat. I only went for half day during the confession and counseling session. They probably don't remember I was there. But God's plan always works even in such short time.
Within 5 hours, I can feel God's Love works within me through the people around me. When Sr. Theo prayed for me, she asked me what I wanted from the prayer. There was so many issues and worries going on and I didn't know what to say. So I said I just wanted to feel at peace. I didn't even know how It would work but I really opened my heart for God to help me. Sr. Theo prayed for me and it works. I felt so calm and the dark voices went away. I was at peace. I have been to so many retreat before, but I was always so secretive and closed so probably that was why I never felt so peaceful during a retreat before. This is the first time I feel so open and I can feel God's love through people around me.
Sr. Theo and I didn't have enough time for deep counseling but she helped me see what I need to see and she helped me realize that I could trust the Holy Trinity Community to accept me for who I am, what I am, and what I did or do. So thank you and please send her and everyone my gratitude.
I am sorry for the long email. I just feel that I need to share this happiness back to the Daughters of Carmel. I am also interested to be notified when there is another Inner Healing retreat (different city is fine) in the future. Thank you!
