I attended the retreat at the Lords Ranch from 20th of October to 26th of October organized by Rector Fr. Savio D’souza (sdb) this retreat was conducted by Fr. Richard from Don Bosco Kudal. If you knew the gift of God. it was unbelievable for me that we had a retreat on the mountain at the Lords Ranch. It is my first experience of retreat on the mountain with the beautiful nature, no one to disturb you or to give you trouble, I had a great experience so beautiful the nature is which speaks about beauty of God beyond our imagination. The retreat at the Lords Ranch was enriching for me it created a sort of love within me for myself through the nature, the environment was so pleasant which carried me away in one melody with nature (nature of God’s Love) Gods creation is so beautiful I have heard and have seen some places but the Lords Ranch was beyond my imagination. It reminds me that how beautiful I am because I too was created by God. The experience of my retreat was very useful not only in praying and admiring the beauty of God’s creation but most important that I reflected on my life both past and present. There were some parts of my life which I lived in a sort of fear of getting into trouble, wanted to be safe and sound even in my own mistake, fear of what friends will say, fear of what my ego will say, fear of what people will say when I do something wrong. I have always remained in the feeling of guilt within me, the people whom I have hurt, the people who have hurt me. I also remembered the past which troubled me a lot, all the wrong things that I did. The retreat helped me to put all my past and a little of my present in front of the Lord. I cannot say that I am totally healed or changed, but I can feel the process of changing, not for my own self but for the glory of God. At the end I would only like to say God is truly amazing who called me to this amazing place the Lords Ranch to have an encounter with hima
