Background
This workshop has been designed by On the Third Day to ground our formands so that they see God in all things. Sometimes we are tempted to spiritualise things in order not to feel the pain of the situation. It is easier to spiritually bypass than to go through the process of understanding the experience that was presented to you.
We cannot avoid it. The spirituality in our everyday relationship, task, struggle, joy, commute, job, etc. It is not some out there blowing in the wind spirituality that is high faluting holy. Our holiness and spirituality is practiced in everyday ordinary life, where the challenges and temptations exist and where we prove or work on our journey to holiness.
We help the participant to assess in what parts of the case given are the realities of the situation, the feelings the person might be dealing with and where God is in the reality and the feelings.
Objective:
The workshop asks the participants to create their case study describing a situation they are going through, whilst looking at every reality, every feeling and God’s movements in the situation. They are asked to list these down in columns to give them the sensation of how this all happens simultaneously in their lives. It requires prayer, authenticity and vulnerability. It is the true meaning of interior work and requires self confrontation.
Rationale:
The module intends to facilitate the participants ability to see their situation, to discern God’s will and to ground themselves in the reality of their life’s trials. We have been told that the exercise is something they bring along with them even when the course is over because it is helpful for them to see things more clearly.
Anyone who wants to be grounded in themselves and in God would benefit from this workshop. This workshop cannot be taken on a stand alone, it is given towards the end of the formation course because it requires one to silence their heart and be able to meditate and contemplate their circumstances. They must have the maturity to see their realities, to feel their feelings and notice God’s movements.
