Lihuan and I left Hong Kong on Aug 6 am as I will
help the 4th Guangzhou Diocese Summer Youth Camp. There were around 70 young adults, Catholics
and non-Catholics, attended this event besides the priests, sisters,
seminarians, and lay people as the facilitators. The participants came from Guangzhou,
Dongguan, Wuhan, and Hebei. The theme
for this year is “Trust in God, Do not be afraid!”
Upon
arriving retreat house of Chinese Sisters of Immaculate Conception Bolou, we settled
in our room and then attended the Mandarin Mass. The opening ceremony was held after dinner:
opening speech by Archbishop Gan and Fr. Joseph followed by ice breaking and
introduction. There were 8 groups of nine
participants.
We
prayed the Mandarin Divine Office every morning (by singing the Psalm) and then
had breakfast and played games. After
lunch, we rested and then played games.
There were Mandarin Masses in the afternoon followed by dinner besides
four sessions of classes: The Door of Faith-Archbishop Gan, The Faith of Jesus’
Disciples-Fr. Peter, The Prayer of Jesus’ Disciples-Ms. Pan, Nowadays Life of
Jesus’ Disciples-Ms. Wang, Enneagram- Sr. Ye, and also Holy Spirit and Jesus’
Disciples-Fr. Joseph. There was
candlelight prayer on the first night, Way of the Cross on the second night and
Performance Show on the third night.
Even though they only had short time to prepare, they performed very
well including the four MCs. The
priests, sisters and lay people also perform by singing “Ren ren dou ying dang
zhidao (Everyone should know)”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGPNcD9VO-A&feature=youtu.be.
Every
group played games together, took turn to wash the dishes and performed on the
Performance Show: singing, dancing, etc.
We also picked up longan from the trees nearby.
Several
sisters and two lay women prepared meals for all of us besides cleaning and
preparing the rooms before we arrived to make all the participants felt at home.
I
am so grateful that I could attend this event as my first intention was to help
here and there but then I also attended the classes. Of course, I learned a lot beside moved by
their faith sharing. Usually I would ask
whether their parents are Catholics, if not, how did they become Catholics.
After lunch on the last day, we went to Holy Cross
Church in Huizhou to attend Mass and then back to Guangzhou.
广州教区第四届夏令营
2012年8月6日早上，我从香港去广州因为我要帮忙夏令营。除了神父，修女，修士，导师，以外，还有七十多学生，教友和不是教友，从广州，东莞，等等参加这个活动。广州教区第四届夏令营的主题是不要怕，只管信！
到了博罗公庄，我们安排房间然后弥撒。 吃晚饭后，有开幕：甘主教致词和彭神父发言， 然后破冰游戏所以同学们能互相认识。每九个学生在一个组。
每天早上我们一起祈祷然后吃早饭和热身游戏；吃午饭后我们休息然后热身游戏； 下午一起参加弥撒然后吃晚饭。每天上四节课：信德之门-甘主教，基督徒的信赖-陈神父，基督徒的祈祷-潘老师，基督徒的现世生活-王老师，九型人格“了解自己”-叶修女，基督徒与圣神-彭神父。每一个晚上有不一样的安排：第一个晚上：烛光祈祷，第二个晚上：户外拜苦路，第三个晚上联欢晚会。既是他们第三天早上才准备他们的表演，联欢晚会很精彩和很感动。神父，修女，修士和导师也表演：唱<<人人都应当知道>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGPNcD9VO-A&feature=youtu.be.
每组一起热身游戏；他们也一起轮番洗碗。联欢晚会的时候，每组表演：唱歌，跳舞，等等。我们也一起摘龙眼。
修女们和两位妇女准备了很好吃的饭；她们也准备好了我们的房间，所以我们想在自己的家里。
我很感谢天主能参加这个活动因为我打算帮忙可是上课的时候我也能上课。当然我也学习了很多，我也很感动听见他们的分享。我一般问他们的家人是不是教友，如果不是教友，我再问他们怎么认识天主教。
第五天下午，我们一起去圣十字教堂惠州参加弥撒，然后回广州。
