Christ The King OCDS Community held their annual retreat in a local hotel from June 3-5 2023 with the theme, “In this world but not of this world: Lessons from St John of the Cross”. The Retreat Master was their newly appointed Spiritual Assistant, Fr Philip Tay, OCD from Seremban.
The desire becomes a single-hearted search for God and there is no room for any deviation or compromise or any lesser goal that is not integrated with the desire for the pure honour and glory of God. This is why it is necessary for us to grow in this habitual desire, which brings the soul the “active night of senses”, the goal of which is to free our soul from the lowest forms of pleasure, so that we can more fully seek God who also produces within us the highest form of spiritual delight, resulting from the perfection of divine union with Him.
This purification, then, involves not only the avoidance of sin but also the readjustment of our appetites and desires . For this is what love is all about: love supposes sacrifice and self-renunciation for the sake and good of the beloved. Anyone who is not willing to renounce himself for the sake, happiness and good of the beloved does not know how to love others but only himself. This is what it means to be a Christian. It is not advanced discipleship; it is basic Christianity.
