My husband and I have just followed the retreat of the Chosen Ones in Mauritius. During these few days of retreat, we experienced something extraordinary.
I had a very beautiful childhood, surrounded by a united family and we went to mass every Sunday. Upon becoming an adult, my mother told me that I was not obliged to do so and the decision was mine, if I did not want to participate. After a few months, I distanced myself from the Church and began to doubt.
I remained in doubt for several years, but one day, as I was asking myself questions, my mother-in-law, a committed Christian, was there to help me. Then I went to Mass with my husband and I rediscovered the Catholic faith; we began to pray together. However, our prayers did not come from the depths of our hearts. So, we decided to deepen our faith and, for us, the best way to do that was a retreat. But which one to choose? My mother-in-law talked to me about the retreat of the Chosen Ones and we decided to register. We were skeptic before we started, but right from the start, I felt a particular interest arise in me. The more the videos passed, the more I felt peaceful; the messages and testimonies touched me.
We were later invited to kneel before the tabernacle and ask a question to the Lord. Mine was: “How can I give my “Yes” and let go?” On the last day, just before Mass, we took a small paper in an envelope, believing it to be a message from God to us. On my paper, it was written: “The essential is resolved in the invisible.” I did not understand what that meant and I asked the Lord to explain it. After the Mass, the last lecture was on “the invisible.” I felt an extraordinary sensation, because I did not think that the Lord would answer me so quickly, but He did! I immediately understood that the answer to my question was to ask the other people who were present to pray for us. Indeed, we have dreamed for a few years of having a child, without success. I finally understood that our combined prayers would help us!
We have an appointment with a priest tomorrow and we will receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation to begin our journey together with a pure heart. Thank you for creating this retreat that has changed our lives. Thank you also for keeping us in your prayers, you are in ours!
