A Place for Spiritual Transformation

My name is Mercy Antony. This was my first time attending the Inner Healing Retreat at Chittoor Retreat Centre. Through this retreat, I was able to evaluate and renew my life in God's presence. I received the grace to forgive those who had wronged me. During the prayer session, I experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit and received profound spiritual blessings.

I am Joel Saju from Chalakudy. I did not come to chittoor retreat centre to attend abide youth retreat on my own will but my mother was the one who sent me here to fulfill God's will. I had been living a sinful life for the last 10 years. During the retreat, I had the opportunity to have the most detailed and the most heartfelt confession of my life. Jesus told me that my sins have been truly forgiven. I cried when I knelt before the Crucifix after the confession. It was painful to realise that I was the one who hurt Jesus and that He carried the burden of my sins. I was convinced that my body is not truly mine but it is God's. I never took part in Holy Mass with such reverence and holiness ever before. Jesus made me understand the importance and the need to go back to a life of purity and holiness - to get back to Him. I understood that if I could deepen my faith, I will receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. During the session of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, I could experience the unconditional love of God and I was gifted with a vision of heaven. I want to go there. I hope I can and I will try with God's grace to attain heaven. After the session, when Fr. Jose Uppani said that 9 people would be gifted with a job, I knew that I was one of them. During counselling session, the counsellor also told me that I should pray and stay in holiness and that I will rise by the grace of God. These words boosted my determination and deepended my faith. I understood my mistake and have decided to let go of my ego and to place God above all else. I have decided to read the Bible and to take part in the Holy Mass everyday. I will try to remain in holiness and will bring my friends too for Abide. Thank you Jesus for Abide!
