Regnum Christi Alapitvany ..::.. Upcoming events

I have learned that I shouldn't blame the people around me for the diseases and bad things that happen in this world, and that these are always the consequences of the man's sinful nature and of the sin. I have realized how important is to discerne my own thoughts as these are not always coming from the Holy Spirit.

The lies of the Evil are always attached to our own personal wounds and in this way grow roots in our heart, and we become disapointed in God and people around us.

N.Â

I realized that I have started building my faith without a solid basic knowledge. This course gave me a clear teaching and spiritual guidance to feel the void, and now I can continue building on a solid knowledge. Alongside of all this there were some really good practical experiences combined with the spiritual experiences that have reached my heart.

T.I

I was strugling with many inner fears, specially regarding the question of death fear. Through the Holy Spirit I received peace, and through prayers God spoke to me.

N.K.T

I understood how important it is to have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit, because only with His help I can discern what is from God and what is from the Evil one, so that I can act in accordance with God's will.

I also realised I am not evil, but I have a sinful nature and I have to be careful not to give a chance for these to bear fruits.

Inner Healing Course - Tirgu Mures, April 4-7, 2019.

K. T.: I did not even think about how much I am defined by what I had received from my parents during my childhood, and how much I make them be felt in a positive and negative way. Of course there had been reactions that I had seen in my parents' life, and I said that if I would have children, I would not do the same, I would be much smarter, more mature, and now that I am working with children, I see myself doing the same things. I got strengthened - being an adult already - that I do not have to behave in a certain way because I must fulfill expectations, or to make others like me. I still have to work a lot on accepting myself and accept others, and even be able to say "no" if I disagree with something, or if I think it's not a good thing.

I realized I can forgive anyone but myself. Then, from the grace of God, I woke up to reality: if He forgave me, then how can I sat myself above God by not forgiveing? I understand that forgiveness, healing, reconciliation does not work if there is no faith and conversion. At least that's what I needed to repent at a certain point, and so I received graces I never dreamed and asked for.

K. E.: What was perhaps the greatest lesson for me, or what I take home with me in my heart is that healing is a process, there’s no point waiting for something great to happen at a certain time, so it’s nothing special, but this whole thing is a process, and one must make the first step in it. Even if I don't feel like I can say from the heart that "I forgive", for the moment it is all I can do: so I start out, say it because I want to say it, I want to do it, and I trust the rest to the Lord, and although I don't see it straight away that something would be different and the same thing happens tomorrow, and it may even be all the same as last week, it does not mean that it was a complete waste of time, but it is the first step, and then we do it again and again, as many times as needed. I have to trust in the Lord that this will happen in its time.

The other thing I realized is the power of words in our lives. In both directions: the things I say and those that I have heard at a certain time; and maybe it is already reflected in what I say. I must let them go, because the Lord says, "You are my beloved child, and I take delight in you." I also have to repeat this to myself.

B. O.: Already at the beginning of the course I was faced with the fact that although I am not really superstitious about certain things, I realized that I trusted in the numbers or somehow I had been influenced by them, for example, always counting the exam items and chosing the 5th item, or checking on which day should I go to give the exam. I didn't even think of these as superstition, but I sticked to it for many years. I also understood that I had to restore spiritual, emotional and physical things, I had to prioritize, because I tried out all the variations, but I think the spiritual is the hardest to establish, but that is the one which is very stable. This must be done with Jesus.

F. B.: The first thing I realized was that I had repressed many memories over the years, but the injuries persisted in me, and I managed to identify them. What I have managed to put down and heal from it is that I must always respond to everyone’s needs and not make mistakes, but I realized that if I serve God and not the people, then God’s opinion must have importance. And God told me yesterday that it is enough for him that I do what I can, and I don’t have to be always perfect. The hardest thing for me was to forgive myself for the expectations I had towards myself to always be the best, to always bring out the best of me. I had to give up criticism against myself. I concentrate on what the Lord says to me and about me. I am valuable with the things I have done in the past and will do in the future. His opinion about me is never the same as my opinion about myself.

Philip Course - Odorheiu Secuiesc, March 1-3, 2019.â€‹

H. E.: This is the best gift of this year, 2019, and it is only March. Many thanks for making possible for me to be here. I’ve been married for almost 12 years, I have 3 daughters, and I’ve never been far from them. Last night when I went home I didn’t know who to kiss first, they were so happy to see me, and I received so much love, that I couldn’t even thank God enough for it. I’ve never experienced this troughout the 11 years, to be so intensely loved by all three of them at the same time.

I’ve desired for long to be able to pray freely, with my own words, and last night I even gave it a try. Here I met so many wonderful people, and it was so good, but it ended so quickly, as we had just arrived, and I don’t want to go home yet.

B. I.: Yesterday I experienced the Holy Spirit so I might believe and trust God more. I can go on with renewed strength, and I’d like to stick to the community.

B. E.: I am so grateful taht I could come here. I could accept the fact that God loves me as I am, with all the awkwardnesses which I’ve been flogging myself for: if I believe in Him, then why do I have fear all the time, and the worries, why can’t I rely on Him? But I don’t carry my sack any longer. I feel that I could accept the Holy Spirit, and it was made clear that it is such a good thing that I can go to a community.

F. R.: I came here with a great fear inside, I felt that I didn’t have any courage, and I had the wish that God gave me boldness. It was my grandfather’s death that drew me closer to God, because he was the person who put the basis of my faith, and we had been close to each other. There was an accident, where noone could be blamed, but still I put the blame on God. Then I came here and God showed me that He loved me in spite of my behavior. He helped me realize that I got really close to Him an got to know Him thanks to the death of my grandfather. I realized also that God gave me talents for a reason, so I shouldn’t burry them but rather make them flourish. And finally I got courage, so I won’t live with fear in my heart.

K. T.: God put many things in a new light. I was touched by the fact that God loves me as I am, and He needs me; I’ve never thought of it until now. I realized also that I am predisposed to sin. I come from a Christian family, my surrounding and the whole village helped me grow up in this faith; I went to religious classes and I was an altar boy; I’ve been doing this for 20 years, but now it started to be more conscious that all this has to reach down to my heart.

Philip Course - Miercurea Ciuc, February 8-10, 2019.

T. L.: I just understood for real the unconditional love of God, and that sin really is so powerful that it can separate me from Him. At a time I experienced God’s nearness, but then for some reason I’ve lost that sence. Here, however, I experienced it anew that God is close to me.

Gy. E.: I experienced and it was also written in my heart, that God has written my name into His palm, so I am in his mind, thoughts and heart always and in all circumstances. Last week I was lamenting that I don’t have a husband whom I can tell my hurts, and I felt that God wasn’t there either, He is with me just ocasionally, because He must be busy with sombody else, He doesn’t have time for me. But I experienced on this course and I understood that I mustn’t depend on my feelings and sences when it’s about God. Another thing that hit me was the word now; that God is with me now, He loves you right now, He takes care of your needs now. For there is no time for God, past, present and future flow into now. And it might be that if I happened to have a husband, he wouldn’t have listened to me anyway, because he would have been busy with some work duties or other things like some kind of illness, so he wouldn’t have had time for me. But it is God who is with you now no matter the circumstance, He is listening to you now whether you feel His presence or not.

B. M.: On the first day of the course I understood why I was called to be here, what God wants from me, and I had to make a decision whose words I believe from now on: Do I believe the events that happened to me? Do I believe the hurts of my past? Do I believe the people? Or I believe God! I decided to believe God! I already experienced that if I don’t believe God alone, then the evil spirit tries and succeeds to push me into the mire.

K. E.: I realized that my faith is not only about going to church, pray a bit and go home. I am convinced now that I can truly believe: God is with me, and He really loves me.

T. E.: What I experienced here was the unconditional love of God. I knew that He exists somewhere, I prayed just like everybody else does, but I always blamed myself for not beenig good enough for my husband, for my family, for my children, or for other acquaintances, or my friends, because nobody accepts me. I closed myself totally, I closed the doors to my heart. Now I’m trying to open it up again. We have a small community, and it was hard for me to integrate, but thanks God I already started to like going to the meeting, my heart is open, I’m able to praise God, and I have the desire to hug the people there, to let them in, and to be open towards them.

M. E.: For me this weekend came with a huge recognition, a great awakening to all that my faith consists in: that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. For example, we’ve learned about the Holy Spirit that He is the third person of the Trinity, He lead the jewish people in the Old Testament, and the Christians in the New Testament, but does He live in me, is He burning inside me? It is such a great thing that Jesus took my sins up to that cross, they are all nailed to it. Of course He came down, He rose from the dead, but my sins stayed there on the cross, they no longer exist. How good it is to live like this: there is a new start, there is a chance, there is love. There is a Son, who is waiting for the encounter, and last night I met Him. It was a great weekend and I am so happy for that.

God s Answers to the Great Challenges of Life - Corund, January 25-27, 2019.

Gy. E.: I feel that I am never alone, Jesus is always with me and helps me solve all my problems, so i just give my troubles to Him and ask for help: from Him or from my brethren if I need it. Regarding self pity, well, I know I’m not standing firmly, so I try to erase it definitely from my life, and I won’t let stress, sorrow and despondency have me imprisoned.

B. E.: I found that I am scared of many things, I worry about many things, and I need to have the courage to give them to God, and I shouldn’t keep them and fight to please my fears, but I should lift my eyes to God. It is my great problem that I would like to please everybody, so I have to work hard and push myself because if I can’t meet the peoples’ expectations, then I think I am a failure.

L. E.: I already knew before coming to this course that everything depends on my attitude. I’ve been practicing for a while to make a decision and stick to it, but I have a hardship: whenever I see somebody around me who is struggling with a problem, I tend to move every rock to help him, to pull him up. On this weekend I understood that it is the person in case who needs to make his decision weather to stay in the cave or come out. I have to leave his free will, and just pray in the background for him to be able to make his right decision.

K. R.: The most important for me is to learn to assign the tasks, to delegate. Unfortunatelly I tend to take on too much work, that exceeds my strength, therefore I find myself awake at 3, 4 or 5 o’clock in the morning, and just then I go to bed. I want to comply everywhere. It is my firm decision to involve some help. I already tried to let some things go, but I still feel it is a big task to reorganize my things, and I’m asking for God’s help in this. I would realy like to have a constant relationship with God, to stay in Him and to ask for His help in hearing His tender voice, understanding what my duty is, and to be able to receive his teachings with love.

R. B.: The thing that got me is that I don’t have to want to be perfect. I am a beloved child of God just as I am. I was thinking about the reason why I was stepping into my working place with a nervous stomach each and every day throughout the three years of my work. Now with my little girl I easily get nervous and worried for every little thing. I think the reason is that I feel constraint to comply, so I have to get over it and fight against it, for if I don’t, it will consume me. It becomes even harder for me when I want to meet my famuly’s expectations, to show the that I am able.
I decided that together with my husband we will introduce a time of prayer, because we didn’t have any until now. We rather switch off the TV and pray first.
