慕道班退省营 RCIA Re-collection Camp


吉隆坡总教区华文教务促进会,于二月七及八日,假波德申金沙滩浸信会活动中心(浸会园)举办了2015年侯洗者灵修退省营,主题为:相遇、相知、相结合。

总教区属下各堂区,除了八打灵圣依纳爵堂之外,大约60位华文慕道者, 联同超过50位的陪团员及慕道班工作人员参与了这个活动。

这是慕道过程的重要环节。退省营让慕道或侯洗者回顾个人的慕道过程,被召叫的经历,在团体及祈祷的氛围中,体验基督透过教会,对每个人的慈爱及恩赐。它也给予慕道者/侯洗者充分的准备,以领受在堂区里随着而来的各种礼仪,包括圣周及复活前夕的入门圣事。

退省导师是马六甲教区的王保禄神父,他是马六甲阿逸沙叻圣玛利亚堂的主任神父,也是2014年退省营的导师。

在这两天一夜的退省中,神父以祈祷、默想、歌唱及活动,引领侯洗者回顾自己的人生旅途经历,各种甜酸苦辣、喜怒哀乐来体验造物主的伟大和慈爱。

退省营提供参加者机会,认识来自各堂区的慕道者,体验到慈母教会大家庭的共融与喜乐。环境优美的营地,也让他们轻松的交谈、认识及拍照留念。

许多参加者,分享了他(她)们美丽动人的皈依故事。在欢笑、泪水中,道出了平凡的人生中,不平凡的故事。每人都以寻找到基督,而有了信仰,开始一个充满希望、喜乐、仁爱及平安的新生命而感到高兴与安慰。

祝愿这群慕道者,在主内常常喜乐,以祈祷及赞颂,迎接他们将在复活前夕领受的入门圣事,成为天主的儿女、天主教会的兄弟姐妹成员。

Kuala Lumpur Archdiocesan Chinese Language Apostolate Commission (KL-ACLAC) had organised a Re-collection Camp for the RCIA candidates on February 7 & 8 at the Golden Sands Baptists Center in Port Dickson.

About 60 candidates from parishes in the Archdiocese (except St. Ignatius Church, P.J.)  and 50 RCIA team members and facilitators attended this event usually held in the season of Lent.

The camp was to enable candidates substantial time to themselves, to reflect on their lives and journey of meeting Christ, helping them to make the conversion complete in preparation of the coming Easter's eve Baptism.

Rev. Fr. Paul Wong from Melaka-Johor diocese animated the recollection with prayer, meditation, activities and songs. He also enlightened the participants of the beauty and meaning of Catholic liturgy and rites.

Towards the end of the camp, many participants shared touching stories of their lives in their search for Christ.

Pray that all of them be blessed with happiness and peace, in their preparation for the coming Easter's eve Baptism, a new life as children of God and members of the Catholic faith.
