Sometimes/All the times, I struggle to get motivated. It's not because I'm lazy (ok sometimes it is), but usually it's because I'm a little bit afraid that I might fail or I'm not good enough, so I just don't. There are sooooo many times in the Bible that we are reminded that we are enough, and that we are not only capable of, but were made to do extraordinary things! So here's a little #motivation for you all! #oyalentchallenge #lent #remembertowhomyoubelong #oya #oblateyouthaustralia #oblates #omiworld
Vocation. Finding moments in your busy schedule to discern your calling can be really tough - however, even finding a few minutes of silence can give you the opportunity to hear God calling to you - whether it be towards priesthood, religious life, marriage or a lay vocation. #vocation #discernment #prepare #lent #oyalentchallenge #omiworld #oblates #lasoblatas
Mountain. It was on top of a mountain where the disciples saw the transfiguration of Jesus - dazzling white in all His glory - and here, they were able to hear the voice of God. Sometimes viewing the world from above can give us clarity, and also, give us the silence we need to hear the voice of God. #lent #mountain #oyalentchallenge #prepare #omiworld #oblates
Perfection. It’s in moments of perfection like this, which we see the face of God #perfection #oyalentchallenge #oya #oblateyouthaustralia #omiworld #oblates #lent
Reconciliation. /rek(ə)nsi|i'ei|(ə)n/ noun 1. the restoration of friendly relations. 2. the action od making one view or belief compatible with another. Some might say the key to a good friendship is honesty, trust, dependability, loyalty, empathy, communication & support. We say the key to a good friendship is reconciliation. We certainly wouldn't have a friendship if we weren't able to put our pride aside to "restore friendly relations" (anyone who has witnessed us immediately prior to the reconciling can confirm). Sometimes it's hard, especially if you're as stubborn as we are - but it's usually worth it. So my challenge this lent: "Restore friendly relations" with anyone you may be struggling to see eye to eye with at the moment! Stop being so proud and give each other a break. #reconciliation #notquitefriendshipgoals #oyalentchallenge #oya #oblateyouthaustralia #omiworld #oblates #lent
Promise. We are just over a week into the Lenten Season and we hope you’re all going strong with your Lenten promise! Remind yourself why you chose what you are giving up or doing and do your best, god will handle the rest. P.S. Maybe Facebook and Instagram going down today was a blessing in disguise for those reducing social media time. God works in mysterious ways 🙏🏽
Gratitude. It's easy to take the people in out lives for granted. How often do we stop to show our appreciation for all times our loved ones go above and beyond for us. Instead of giving up something for lent...why not take on the challenge to show your gratitude more often! #gratitude #oyalentchallenge #lent #oya #oblateyouthaustralia #omiworld #oblates
Prayer. It’s important to take moments out of our busy schedules to pause. Pause, sit down and spend time talking with God, to ensure we continue on the right path in our journey. #oyalentchallenge #prayer #lent #prepare #youth #youthministry #oblates #omiworld
