In the get-away weekend for the couples at Fraser Hill, 14th & 15th November 2009, four couples from Fondacio Malaysia renewed their covenantal love by re-declaring their marriage vows to one another.
At the start of this weekend the couples shared in awe of their first meeting and how they got started in their relationship. Each of the couples sure had their story to tell!
Father Moses Yap, OFM, from Kuching, Sarawak, led the couples into a special moment of reconciliation including four-year-old Joshua Foo. It was a touching moment to see Joshua accepting apologies from his parents as well as saying sorry to Daddy and Mommy for his unintentional misbehaviors.
This weekend gathering was possible through the openness and availability of two couples to animate and facilitate it: Huey Jen, recently baptized, with her spouse, James, and Raymond Sii with his spouse, Anna. They were a gift for the couples’ gathering, for as they discovered their goodness, they awakened the best in the others, too.
Meanwhile Patricia, Florence and Annie, became the support to the organizing committee, giving not only advice, but along the way, also doubling as baby-sitter and moderator.
To conclude, the gathering gave an opportunity for the couples to celebrate each other as they did in the alpha of their relationships. Additionally, it was successful in setting their hearts on fire to be disciples of Christ for other couples, too.
