Regnum Christi Alapitvany ..::.. Upcoming events

S.E.: In this course I understood, that the Holy Spirit is working in my soul, in my life. Until this weekend I was convinced, that the Devil isn`t real, it`s just a theory, and the Devil with little horns is only in the tales. It was a good excuse for Him, so I couldn`t recognize His attacks. I have realized that in all hard moments and challenges of my life God was in my side, He helped me, and did a lot of wonders in my life. I`m sure He will continue to love and help me.

Sz.A.: I realized , that I have some laziness in my life, I wasn`t ready to repent every day of my life. When I felt myself far away from the Lord, I thought that soon will come a group meeting or something else and God will restore me to my place. In this weekend I understood how important is community, and how powerful is it. In the summer I had an accident with my eye, and I experienced the power of the prayer. In the community they prayed for me, I was praying too, but I`m convinced, that their prayer was powerful. In this weekend I heard new things about the Holy Spirit, this was new for me.

S. Á.: This was the most beautiful weekend of my life. I learned a lot of things and they are a little bit swirling in my head. Holy Spirit was a new discovery for me. I have heard about Him, but I didn`t know what to “do” with Him. I hope from now on, I can pray to Him, and ask His help. In this course I realized that when I neglected the prayer, God was loving me the same way, but I wasn`t open for His love. I already miss this group and this course.

B. E.: I`m going home with a new heart. Things are more clear to me now. I carried my sins, but here I realized that Jesus had already redeemed me. I understood, that in my conflicts I have to take the first step and to ask forgiveness. I will start all my work with asking the Holy Spirit to come. Until this weekend I used to say official prayers, but from now on I will try to pray with my own words. I have been strengthened in these areas and it was a great joy for me to be here.

D. E.: When I arrived here, in the very first half an hour, I had a sentence inside me, “ Follow the Cross”. I didn`t know what cross, because, nobody follows a cross happyly, it is so embarrassing, and surely bad. But God said, it will be ok. He guided me to young people, to work with them. That is what I have decided, and asked God the strength me, and to show me concretely what to do. So God answered to my question. I want to belong to a community and I want to serve there, especially what God wants me to do.

Philip Course - Targu Mures, 21-23^rd of October, 2016.

V. Sz.: It had a great impression on me the fact that we not just only talked about Jesus, and his unconditional love for me. I had my doubts regarding his love, what happens, when I commit a sin, does He still love me? I understood, that God had really given his Son for us, he redeemed us from all of our sins. Another great experience was for me the confession, it was honest and deep, and I have that feeling, that it changed my life. I surrendered my life to Jesus and He showed me, that we already had a relationship, but he wants a deeper one. He wants more for me, to know Him more, to experience more of his love. I want to serve Him the way He is asking me to do.

Sz. A.: I came to this course knowing that I won’t hear so many new things, I just wanted to experience the truths. I knew that God loves me, sin is tearing us from Him, we need to believe and to repent, we have to live in the presence of the Holy Spirit, and we need a community so that the fire in us can keep on burning. But it was new for me that I am the one who is in focus now: I am loved by God, I am torn out from his love, when I commit sin, I am redeemed, I have to believe and I have to repent. It all became personal for me. He wants to love me, and I have to accept it and to be grateful. I don’t belong to a community yet, but I really want to find one.

K. Zs.: I came to this course to get power for this challenging year. I received power, and even more than that. Now I’m full with hope, dreams and plans to serve Him more, to be closer to God, and to serve in the community. This morning I realized how important Jesus is. I can be closer to God through Jesus, I can know Him more through Jesus. Jesus is like a gate, He is mediating between me and the Father, He is like a phone, with whom I can call God. In the past, somebody prayed for me, and He saw a little bird, very beautiful one, in a cage, who cannot sing because it’s locked. But if the door of the cage should open, the little bird would fly, and would start to sing. Yesterday I realized, that I’m like this, and I could get out from the cage, and now I can fly, my life is open to God, I’m not locked in, I am free with God.

P. N.: I’ve participated in a Philip course when I was in the tenth grade, but it was a long time ago, and I couldn’t remember anything. I wanted to participate again since a few years. I thought that I knew enough about the love of the Father, and I was waiting for Saturday to hear something new. Despite this, the topic about the Love of the Father was the deepest one for me on this weekend. Now I believe that God is able to form me, to empower me, and to teach me to become that person who He wants me to be. I realized, that the Holy Spirit is not coming only when I Feel him with powerful emotions, but He can give me peace. Now this is enough for me. I don`t feel the stress now, and I believe that the Holy Spirit will be with me every day of my life.

T. E.: When I was thinking or talking about the sin, I felt, that I should not do it, because the Heavenly Father is watching me. But then I thought that He loves me anyway, so even if I commit something wrong, his love doesn’t change for me, and nothing happens to me. Now I realized, that the root of every bad thing is the sin, and it is important for me to know, that when I commit a sin, it will have an effect on me, it has its consequences, no matter how strong God’s love is for me.

K. O.: Friday night I came without expectations, I thought that surely I will learn something new. That night, after the program, when I was talking with one of my friends I realized that I have learned that I am important. She was surprised, because my friends know about me, that I`m not self confident, and I have a very low self-esteem, I can break or destroy anything. She said that it is a huge thing that I can accept that, I’m important. From Friday I can say to myself too, and to others, that how good it is, that I`m alive, I’m important. I feel that I have to increase in this truth. Another powerful experience was that I thought that I ‘m close to God, I pray to Him, I thank Him a lot of things, but I realized I’m parallel with Him, I don’t have a real relationship with Him, and I have to do steps too.
Yesterday I realized that my self-accusation is causing me sadness and that’s why I cannot be myself. I cannot experience real joy in my everyday life, because I wake up thinking about what will I destroy, I pretty sure that there will be something that won’t work for me; it’s like a pair of glasses, and I cannot see clearly. Yesterday I could put these glasses down, and I could see the child within me, and I understood that if this is who I am, smiling and happy, then I should give room to this happiness. This change of mindset might be an answer to my questions and I might even be able to help others with all that I experienced here.

God's Answers to the Great Challenges of Life - Targu Secuiesc, 17-19th of June, 2016.

A.Zs.: I came to this course knowing already that there was something wrong. More people had given me feedback, that I was always saying that there was nothing in order. But I didn’t know what my problem was. Now here on this course many things have been named. I feel like though the course is over, it is just beginning, and I will have a lot to work on. I realized I didn’t know who I really was, because there are many things, expectations that my environment lays on me, and they suggest who I am, what should I do, and not just perfectly but a notch better. And if I did something perfectly and a notch even better, then there will be something else I need to do perfectly and a notch even better. I decided that in the coming period I will take time to find out who I am, and I will let God show me who I really am. I will write it down and I already asked a sister in Christ to take account of it. On the other hand I realized that although I neglected going into the nature, I am still a good caver spiritually speaking, and I think I got quite well established in my cave, this is why it is so hard to come out of it. I felt like if I was going to lose something that is hard for me to let go for I got so much stick to it. But God strengthened me that He will be there with me.

M. A.: It was very important for me to accept myself as I am, and don’t compare myself to anybody, because I am God’s beautiful daughter. I’ve always pitied myself and told that “You are not able to do anything right, others can do better, just look, how well the other one did that thing…” And I wondered why there is drought in me, in my relationship with God. I asked Him to come; I longed so much for something new, I felt like “You are out there somewhere, and I am here alone just talking and talking like a cuckoo, praying, but nothing happens”. I realized that this is because I just pitied myself but did nothing. Yesterday I was as happy as I have never been in my life yet. There have already been moments when the Holy Spirit filled me, but not as much as yesterday. He promised me a lot of things, which are important for me, and also that He will be with me. I find it necessary to say it out loud in front of all of you, because otherwise I might let it calm down: I really want to give my life wholly to God, every area, and I would like to learn to hear His voice.

T.E.: I have known for long, and I already saw its signs, that I don’t sleep enough. It seems a banal thing, but it affects many aspects of life, it is a start point for many disorders. At evenings when I don’t have energy to do something, I used to turn on the pc and watch a movie, but I fell asleep, than woke up and fell asleep again, and then after a 5-6 hour sleep started the new day, I was not rested; I just put on the movie for not having to face my problems that hurt and don’t go away. But yesterday night I went home, and though I turned on the computer reflexively, I turned it off, and put myself to bed; so I finally didn’t fall asleep while watching a movie, which is not a relaxing sleep at all. I need to set aside time for resting.

L.P.: Many things got strong in me; there were things I already practiced, though I don’t know whether I was conscious of it, or not, but it was good to hear that it should be done in that way. By having participated on this course, fears, failures and the lack of success won’t disappear but it is all about my attitude towards them. If I invite Jesus into my life, it should not only be said by words, but I should be more aware of His presence: that He is here, I am with Him, and I am able to overcome these situations.

God's Answers to the Great Challenges of Life - Gheorgheni, 3-5^th of June, 2016.

Sz.L.: There were all kind of problems accompanying me in my whole life, I was submerged in these negative feelings which were presented in the teachings. My conclusion after 20 years of being in the charismatic renewal is that you always have to stand up and start anew with God on your side, because He helps you, not only with comforting words but also with firm words that make you wake up. He says He won’t give you greater burdens than the ones you can carry. For me the hard statements of God were the ones that lifted me up and encouraged me. So I will try to be happier, more relaxed, and I will give up complaining.

N.E.: During this course I realized I still had my greatest problem which I thought I already dealt with: it is my self-pity, that snuck up on me 11 years ago. Since then I was searching for handrails in God, and in the community which accepted me with great love. In every situation when I feel this state of self-pity pulls me down, I have to step into the presence of God, I have to hand it over to Him. The thing that strengthens me is worship: when I sing for example during dish-washing, or any other activity at home. It helps me a lot. Regarding the fear, I thought I managed to face it, but it still comes sometimes and strikes me, it paralyzes me, and I can even say it highly influences my thoughts, and there is no other solution than to turn to God. I must not remain in fear, but I have to look up to the skies.

G. M.: I felt like I’ve been lost lately, I felt alone; I planned something that didn’t turn out as I expected, and it made me very indisposed. The first teaching was aimed at me, and I realized I was not alone, the Lord is always there with me, I just have to perceive it. I need to accept the failures, but I also need to go on with God, empowered by Him. I must not lick my wounds. I realized I was afraid of loneliness, I was afraid of losing my family, or what will happen to my children. I managed to deal with it, but only with the help of the Lord. Only if I commend myself to Him, I give my life to Him; and not take it back again and again. And I have to give up on controlling others too, especially my children. I have to let God control my life, and accept that He is lord in my life, and I can do nothing without Him.

Gy. A.: It became clear to me that there is nothing I should fear of, because Jesus is with me, He strengthens me, encourages me, and if I am a child of God and He loves me so much, than I will have to fight on, and not to give up. If Jesus won than I should also be a winner. I should not remain in the state of depression even if others hurt me or insult me, but I should go on, and not flog myself for what I might have done wrong, or for the reason my life is as it is; or I should not think that God left me, He doesn’t love me, everything I do comes out wrong. I decided to cast out all these wrong thoughts from my head, and think of nice, happy and beautiful things, for when I go out to the street with joy in my soul, others might notice it.

T. M.: I received a lot from this course. I made some decisions, that I might have already made some time ago, but I think now they are final. I don’t want to worry about the past anymore, about the things that generated fear, worries, stress and tension. I am convinced I will succeed in this.

G. R.: I can’t afford myself that worrying and despondency to grow and overwhelm me, because I am a child of God. He loves me. I should just wait with patience that His grace may grow in me, because I think my faith is not strong enough. I trusted men until now, but they disappointed me. Now I decided to start my days with calling on God to help me. And if He lives in me, then He will help me, will give me His power, peace and might, and it will fill my life with power, energy and self-confidence. My self-confidence was very low when I came here. So I am really glad that I participated on this course.

Philip Course - Tinoasa, 8-10^th of April, 2016.

F. I.: I understood, that God loves everybody the way he is. Without conditions, no matter that we are sinners or not. I’ve been a catholic going to c

hurch on every Sunday, but a great sin had separated me from God many years ago, and than for more than 6 years I’ve hardly even gone to church. But on a spiritual retreat I could confess this sin of mine, and since then my life has changed a lot, I got close to God and I’m walking on His path. On this weekend I understood in a deeper way and I know now that God loves me also, just the way I am.

M. J.: I’ve been quite familiar with the topics, but the presentation was totally different, not as on a religious class or in the church. The free and playful forms of presenting really captured me, we laughed a lot. The method in which you all offered the message to us is very different from the average. The thing that will surely stay in my heart is that the Sun is always shining. This picture is a great help in one’s life, because it reflect the love of God.

Sz. E.: I have a strong personality which is shown mostly in my family, almost everything happens the way I want it to. Here I learned to commit my things to God, so that He would do as He wants. Hopefully there would be better results than until now. From among the teachings I was touched by the thing I new the least: the Holy Spirit. All I new about Him was saying in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, when I draw the cross on myself, and singing Come, Holy Spirit, fall on us on Pentecost. Nothing else. So it was so good to find out that He is the third person of the Holy Trinity, and I can rely on Him, I can ask from Him, I can trust in Him, therefore it was worth coming here.

L. V.: My heart and my soul is so full of joy and love. First and foremost I feel gratitude for being here among you. I was at the Life in the Holy Spirit seminar in autumn, and when I heard about the Philip course I already felt the urge that I wanted to go to it. So when I got the invitation my answer was “Yes” at once. I could say every theme gave me something new, something deepened in me, and now I feel such great peace, love and calmness I have never had before. I was touched the most by the fact that Jesus had died for me. It was followed by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, when I got the present and invitation from the Holy Spirit to help in prayers those families which are in trouble, are broken or are on their way to divorce. I have no idea how will I do this, but I am convinced that the Holy Spirit will guide me and Jesus will help. And suddenly a friend of mine came into my mind, who has troubles in her family, that is why she could not come to this course. When I realized this, I new that I had the first family which I will give help to. I can testify that since I’ve been going to the community together with my husband, our life has changed 360°. There might always be hardships, but there is also the possibility to get up.

Sz. E.: During this weekend I was especially touched when you spoke about the Holy Spirit and His gifts. I was always preoccupied about what it could be, because it was so abstract and intangible. I was just searching and making inquiries about. And when we finally spoke about it here, a pleasant feeling went through me. Now it is as if everything would be clearer.

L. T.: The thing that really captured me was that God loves me as I am, whether I go to church or not, or even if I didn’t go to the community until now. I realized I got so many things from God, but I was not aware of it. If He wouldn’t exist I wouldn’t exist either.

B. M.: I am on a Philip course for the second time, but I can always experience something new or in a deeper way. I mostly became aware of the seriousness and gravity of sin, how it separates us from God, or we separate ourselves from God with our sins, and how far can we wonder from Him. Even if it’s about the smallest sin, and we tend to say it’s only a little thing, or it’s just my stubbornness or neglecting, or I hurt those who are the closest to me, the ones I love the most. I tear myself out of God’s love with every sin I commit. Now I became conscious about this, for I am quite a bossy person, so I like things to happen as I want, and I always try to turn things around in a way that I somebody else would come out responsible, because it’s me alone who knows what’s best. Here I came to realize that I should not want to be victorious over everybody, but rather I should accept the opinion of others, should listen to them and be humble. It is very hard for me, because I feel I have to wrestle with myself. The good thing is that Jesus has already taken all of these sins of my to the cross, He redeemed me, and paid for all our debts and sins. We should just try to walk on His ways and accept everybody as he is. Jesus himself is not a respecter of persons, is not showing favoritism, he accepts me and you as we are. So who am I to judge others or to discriminate?

Philip Course - Odorheiu Secuiesc, 4-6th March, 2016.

Sz. H.: I feel gratitude because God invites me to such courses like this, where I can grow spiritually. I could never accept myself as I am, but God as my Heavenly Father says, I love you just the way you are. I couldn’t understand that for a long time, but then I took it as a mother of two children, and realized that it is really true, because my teenage boy does a lot of silly things but I can always forgive him. So I understood that it is also me who falls flat so many times, but God always strengthens me and helps me up. Many times I felt His voice so distant, but now I realized that it’s me building up my sins around me, this is why I can’t hear Him when I need it to. I also understood that the Heavenly Father loves me with eternal love, He never stops loving me, just as I will still love my children the same even if they will grow older, and I will be an old granny.

L. T.: I was touched by the statement that everybody is equal in the eyes of God: no matter how poor you are, where you come from or who you are, God takes everybody equally. Conversion is by the grace of God. I wished and prepared myself through many years that I would convert. I tried, started it somehow, but I didn’t know that in fact you can decide to choose God every single day, you can repent from your sins. Now I realized that I have the possibility to do that, so I don’t have to rely on my weaknesses, because I can strengthen myself through God and the Holy Spirit, if I invite Him into my life. I can start anew with God every single day.

S. I.: It touched me when I found out how important we are to God, and now I became conscious about it. I could accept this in spite of the two tragedies that happened in my family: I lost my husband and my son. Still, I can feel His love. The exercises and the drawings had a great effect on me, and I feel that I could know myself better, I could deepen in my heart the things I have already heard, but weren’t stored in me. I also realized that God has a plan with me. So everything that happens has a meaning, the Lord works in wonderful ways. Though we don’t understand, He has a goal with everything: we can know ourselves better, and He helps us through all our problems. I understood that I can call upon the Holy Spirit whenever I am in need.

S. L.: It caught my attention when I heard what the Holy Spirit won’t do for you; and that I have to do something myself in order that the Holy Spirit could help me. I might do all kinds of good deeds, but if I don’t call upon the Holy Spirit and I don’t make any step for His gifts to come into my life, then it won’t. I had my conversion 5 years ago, but I realized that I need to convert every day, whenever I commit a sin. I am so grateful for all the teachings and testimonies; I am glad that I could be here.

B. M.: It was so good to be here, I feel I got new strength and dynamism I was longing for, and I realized that it is hard to walk alone on the right path. I’ve been to Life in the Holy Spirit seminar two times, I went to the community a few times, but I didn’t insist on it. I made some decisions that I would do the other way from that point on, but these seemed to be only small attempts for conversion. It was just as with the gift, which you put from one shelf on the other, you dust it from time to time; I opened my Bible, I even put some little notes into it, but I didn’t know whether to read it from the start or from the end. So I would really like a community to help me in knowing God better, and in deepening my faith. I experienced the overflowing of love and it was a very good experience. I hope that if a community accepts me, then I will receive more strength to form a smaller community at home.

K. E.: I have known God for a long time, I know he accepted me as I was and as I am now. I had and still have periods in my life when I find myself in the midst of my sinful nature, but I wish everybody to experience – when he gets rid of this sinfulness – how it feels when God embraces him; it is an indescribable emotion. And in spite of that I can be rude, fallible and a sinner.
There’s one thing I truly needed, because I didn’t live with it up till now: I have never called upon the Holy Spirit in my prayers. But now I know that I have to pray to the Lord through the Holy Spirit. I belong to a community since February last year, and I managed to get out of a great emotional hardship with the help of God and the community.

Inner Healing Course - Miercurea Ciuc, 18-21^st February, 2016.

T. I.: Here on this course I learned not only that I am a sinful person, that I have my wounds, I got into all kind of things I shouldn’t have, and that I have a lot of ties, but also that there truly is light at the end of the tunnel, I can find solutions for all of this. I have always suspected that the problem I came here with was only the top of the iceberg. But as I managed to speak out that entire huge iceberg, that was in me, and reached the very point, that brought me here, I suddenly realized that it is not a real problem to me anymore. When we finally cleaned up all the things underneath, it felt as if I had thrown out the cleaning cloth after the big clean up. The thing I thought was a real burden on me and it felt bad and I didn’t know the reason why it is so, in fact it was easy to get rid of, it was only a drop in the ocean. I have known for long, that there are so many wounds in a person starting from conception, but recognizing it and letting it go is not always easy. I realized that there are many unhealthy ties binding me to others and I was the one who established them. I used to pray to have a good relationship with that person, but now I realized that he is acting the way he does because I have a wrong attitude towards him. The reason my father is not acting the way a father should, is because I am not acting as his daughter. And the reason my husband is not behaving as a husband should, is because I don’t have the attitude of a wife towards him, but I act like a silly child instead, who is looking for protection, so it’s normal that my husband behaves like a father. And it bothers me. But if I am not beside him as a wife, he can’t behave like a husband; or if I am not acting as a mother, my child can’t behave the way I would expect from a child. It strengthened me when I heard from you that when our child is learning to walk, we feel great joy for every little step he makes, and we don’t impute to him if he falls. I discovered in a new way that I am the child of God. I realized that not only that I have a Heavenly Father but I am his child. And this does not only mean that somebody is taking care of me, but I have to behave like a child of God. This is not just a right and a good thing, but it is a responsibility if I have a crown and a royal dress. And is I am dressed in white and with a crown on my head, then I don’t welter in the mud, I can’t permit it to myself. So this really strengthened me.

T. Cs.: I have always believed that I can forgive everybody, I am able to let go my hard feelings, because I considered myself as a person who is not resentful at all. We should get trough it fast, or I let my feelings settle down, but it should not come up ever again. Now I realized that there are so many old wounds like this which I buried inside of me, that it was hard to admit, but even harder to forgive to myself. I truly realized that there is nothing better to do, than to forgive, so I decided to do it no matter how hard or painful it would be, but it is the best for me if I can sincerely forgive to everybody from the depths of my heart.

G. A.: I dealt with martial arts for 16 years, and I would start with clarifying that it is a wrong thing to do and it is against God. I did taekwondo, aikido, karate and even did yoga in order to be more and more fulfilled. I’ve been a trainer for 3 years; I trained my students for national competitions, so I know what it is all about. We know that Jesus taught us not to fight, but rather if someone hits you, you should turn to him your other cheek; what I taught instead was if someone hits you, you should kick his head of. So this is a total contradiction. If you reach to higher levels of fighting, it can make you more and more aggressive. So I don’t recommend to anybody to get involved in any of this. On the judo training sessions there is always exposed the picture of the sensei, that is the big master, and we bow before it/him at the beginning and at the end of every session. So what is this? He is not God! We shouldn’t bow before anybody else but God? This is idolatry! And I realized all of this thanks to this course. The Far-east is deeply involved in occultism, so we should be very careful. I’m grateful that I could put these down a year ago, but I needed this course to see more clearly and be able to tell others too.

B. I.: I realized that God is so graceful and He is not punishing us. He is able to forgive all of our sins and to cut every tie, no matter how great our wounds are, even those received in the womb of our mother. I experienced this and I feel I became a new person in a relatively short time. I didn’t know acupuncture was a sinful thing, to go and get healed through it, and even though someone told me this when I was preparing myself to go the second time, I said “Why not go, if I can get healed”. But then God showed me, that my kidney was not healed by acupuncture, but it got healed on the Philip course instead. Another thing is that I had huge problems with loving. I realized that I didn’t receive love throughout my life; this is why I couldn’t give it on. I loved my kids very much; I felt I could do everything for them, but I was not able to hug them. Now I feel I could hug everybody!

T. J.: I’ve been living a bad life in the way I wanted it to be. All of the things I did were strengthening the wrong side, the side of the evil one. After my conversion I conceded all these, and tried to bring them to God, and He always told me: “I am beside you!” Going along on this path I feel I made another step forward. I got set free from my ties.

Philip Course - Gheorgheni, 29-31^st January, 2016.

V. E.: The Heavenly Father has reinforced in me that my place is here. I asked the Holy Spirit to give me more patience, more love and power. Last night when I went home I could react with peace of mind, while other times we fought and we did scandal. Thus the patience has already come from the Holy Spirit. And I am convinced that I received other gifts from God.

B. H.: I was fascinated with the idea, that I could be clean or covered in mud, trampled underfoot or crumpled, I am still precious. And I realized that I have to convert whenever I leave the right path. In connection with the theme of community I was thinking how much could our youth group be improved, and considering my attitude to the group, there are many things I could change myself, I could do some things better, thus there would be less difficulties.

B. R.: I was filled up. This course helped me a lot in clarifying things. It happened only now that I it really amazed me that Jesus really died for me. And I realized that someone really loves me as I am. Lately I neglected my youth group, but here I realized how lucky I am that I live not far from here, and here is a community where I can go to, where I am accepted; and how great is that we've got these two priests, who are interested in our group's wellbeing.

P. E.: The Holy Spirit touched me deeply. I kept Him in a distance so far, but yesterday a wonderful thing happened to me: I got a picture in prayer that confirmed in me that my mission is to bring joy to the hearts of the sad, to comfort the sick. I got convinced that my place is here, and I still have a lot of work to do.

T. A.: I am very thankful to God that I could come and be with you. The superficial knowledge that I had have become interior convictions. Although I knew the answers to the questions that have arisen, I have not really understood them in my heart. I knew that God loved me in spite of my sins and accepted me, but it had a much deeper meaning when I could experience this love with the help of an exercise.
