The first course of Fully Alive 2018 was given by Jenna Kish, and talked about our interior life. Affections are part of being human, feel your feelings. Order everything to Love’s will. Let God into all the hidden “closets” of your heart. Bring everything into the Light of Christ. Affections are neither good nor bad morally, it’s what we do with our affections, it’s allowing God to order them in Love that can lead to actions. Intellect, passions, and will–let God order them.
Ana Leticia had this to say about her experience of the course:
“My expectations for the Fully Alive retreat were high!!! My heart is full of feelings that often control me: fear, anxiety, anger, love… In the course I learned how God would go in the darkest place of my heart and suffer with me and more. He wants to organize my life and give me peace. His love teaches me how to love and His spirit guides me. He always says: Do not be afraid, I’m with you!”
