On Sunday, December 1, a nice group of about sixty women from Ticino and Italy showed up at the church in Lugano- Massagno to participate in the women`s meeting, with the theme: “Revisiting Emotions with God.”
After enjoying the abundant refreshments and embracing sisters who had not seen each other for so long, Sara Furnari, a psychologist, masterfully introduced us to the topic of emotions and its various aspects. What are they? What are they useful for? How to manage them? All while referring to many biblical verses. After all, the Lord created us with emotions and therefore He will also be able to help us manage them. Sara captured everyone`s attention and led us to introspect and reflect on our feelings. This was alternated with songs, reflections and prayers that made us feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. Lunch also tantalized the palate, so everything contributed to a jovial and harmonious atmosphere.
Unfortunately, such moments always end too soon! We said goodbye with enriched and joyful hearts, with the desire and hope that we will soon be able to experience such an intense meeting again!
Here is what one sister wrote to us:
“The sisters' reunion on december 1, I really enjoyed it because I learned a lot about emotions with a psychological approach, well illustrated by Sara. But what I experienced is even more important. I felt the work of the Holy Spirit in my heart, which allowed me to feel deep emotion during the prayers and singing the hymns all together. Never before that day had I felt these strong emotions and a great Love for Jesus and the sisters. I would like it if another similar meeting would take place again.” J. N.
We thank the Lord for the success of this meeting and for all the blessings that flowed from this event.
