CALL TO AWARENESS AND CONFESSION

LEADER: Jesus once told His disciples the difference between a foolish person and a wise person. Both have experiences, but the foolish one does not reflect on these experiences and therefore, never learns from them. The wise person, however, runs each experiences for his/her being, making it his/her own and learning from it. Let us make use of this moment to recall the experiences we had for the past week, and reflect on the actions we made towards our work, our nation, our church and our family.
