Group-IV
1. The suffering is part of redemption.
2. We must allow the Holy Spirit to work in us so as to exercise the ministry of Christ.
3. We are called to be the mebassers of the kingdom of God.
4. Jesus is not the founder of the religion but the very foundation of it.
5. Life around Jesus is the condition in which each one is called by Jesus himself.
6. We must experience the freedom of joy through our apostolate.
7. Richness of Catholicism is “tradition and faith,” we must commit ourselves to this faith-filled tradition to “know” Jesus and follow Him who gives new life.
8. We have to relinquish selfishness and be available to all to become the true disciples.
PROPOSALS
A. Aspire to live in authenticity and to learn the genuineness of the charism of the congregation.
B. Religious should try to live the essence of the Gospels and the church.
C. As religious, we should live affective and effective bond with Jesus in the congregation and in the mission.
QUESTION
1. Whether Jesus is disciple or master? Can we call Jesus the first disciple? Since he served God and lived the discipleship?
2. How can the kingdom of God be a new form of life?
3. A liturgy professor once said: The Holy spirit does not come down whenever we call to inspire us or help us. If it comes, it comes to take full possession of us (Holy Spirit over shadowed Mary) and we no more ourselves but the holy Spirit controls us for a purpose. Therefore, is it right or wrong to ask for the help of the Holy Spirit.

Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit
Jesus’ priesthood is according to the order of Melchizedek. Melchizedek had no beginning and end he offered sacrifice of bread and wine in Old Testament. In New Testament we see Jesus offering himself in the form of bread and wine as the memory as New Covenant.
Jesus is foundation not the Founder.
Through the Power of the Holy Spirit we need to be credible witnesses of Christ till the end of Time.
We are called and chosen to follow and imitate Jesus in each stages of our Lives.
The First Christian community was the community of Communion.
As religious we are call to experience the resurrection of Jesus implying a new life in Sprit.
Human being are not the master of creation but only care takers of God’s creation.
Mary had experience with Holy Spirit on earth three times. On the day of Annunciation, second At the Foot of the Cross, third on the day of the Pentecost, so we need to be open to the Holy Spirit to have experiences in our Mission.
