Calling Us to the Mountain





          Many people come up to Baguio for seminars, recollections, training, and retreats. Ever wondered why?    It is because transformation takes place in the mountains.  Remember where the 10 commandments were given?  Where the transfiguration happened?  Didn’t Jesus love to pray alone up on the mountains?  There are many significant events we find in the Bible about God manifesting His power and love through the mountains.  Even our saints had their mystical experiences with God up there.

Everyday we need to climb our own mountains no matter how hard it may be.  It is when we make a choice to meet God that we are able to gain wisdom on what to do.  The journey maybe tiring but once we are up there and acknowledge that the greatness of the mountain is nothing compared to the greatness of its Creator, we find ourselves at peace and full of realization from the experiences during the climb.  We go back down transformed – what a miracle!  J
