Days With The Lord

The Days with the Lord began as a Jesuit retreat based on the Cursillo method in the late sixties.  It was popularized at the Ateneo, and gradually, the movement found its way into other schools all over the Philippines.  It's a very intimate religious experience designed for the youth (who are impressionable, full of idealism, life and vigor), in the hope that Christian values are imprinted deep in their adolescent psyche--just enough to generate a positive kick-start into adulthood.  I was lucky to have gone through this profound experience Christmastime 1978, and I still remember all the fun that we had!

Monique goes through this wonderful experience this weekend, and I wish her the best.
