Being a servant leader is both a 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 and a 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲.

It is an honor as it allows us to lead people, guide them, and help them grow into the individuals they aspire to be in the future.

Being a servant leader is a responsibility, as well.

As servant leaders, we definitely have followers, companions, and adherents. Hence, we are expected to serve as an example to others, steer them in the right direction, as well as guide them in their own journey towards being the promising individuals they aspire to be.

And as a servant leader, we must possess certain characteristics that will allow us to be an effective leader, instructor, counsel, and guide to our followers and especially to our future team.

The 𝐒𝐇𝐉𝐏-𝐘𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐏 family extends its warmest congratulations to all of the graduating 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬. Your graduation serves as a proof of your 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, and 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 in attaining your goal.

You may have graduated from college or gotten your desired degree, but 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. As you discover your place in the world, you will progressively learn more about life and love. That is why you should never stop learning since 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝. We must continue to study to be able to truly understand truth and love. As individuals, we must always 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 with the aim to serve others in the most effective manner possible.

𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 as you make your way into the real world. We understand that the fresh beginnings or approaching chapters of your never-ending story may be frightening, but 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝'𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐢𝐭! You will stand tall, surrounded by His love and serenity.

As 𝐓𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐭 put it, the scary news about graduating and going on to the new chapters in your life is that '𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐍𝐎𝐖.' Meanwhile, the cool news about graduating is that '𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐰.' Make it clear that graduation is not an end but rather 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥. It is the moment when you will follow the vision you see in your life, the life you want to live and lead, as a centuries-old saying would say, "𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞." In addition, as remarked by Oprah, "𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨."

Mistakes are inevitable. 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐬. Use your stumbles as a learning experience considering we are given hardships and problems to sharpen us, not to drown us. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫. It is human nature to make mistakes, so don't be scared to make them. However, this does not imply that we have to constantly commit mistakes. Making mistakes entails developing 𝐚𝐧 𝐮𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 that will eventually assist you in deciding which 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 and 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞.

Furthermore, we congratulate 𝐉𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐲𝐧 𝐃𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐬 and 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 Joy 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧, Youth Servant Leaders from the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, on graduating as Magna 𝐂𝐮𝐦 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞 in their respective college programs.

The message emphasized John the Baptist's tragic yet wonderful fate, as his faithfulness shows that death would not separate humanity from the Lord. John the Baptist is an example of what it means to be one with Christ. His example inspires us to stand tall and resolute even when the darkness calls. He calls us to be disciples who go above and beyond what is acceptable and sufficient. May we grow and develop as people with as much faith as John.

The gathering kicked off through reminding the 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 of the 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 specifically, the attendees about the recently concluded 2023 Kairos and Annual Recognition.

𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤: The 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 of the 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 held their monthly meeting on July 15, 2023, in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Center with a shared gospel from the Lord about their faith to Him for a genuine reflection.

The gospel depicted Jesus explaining the meaning of the parable about the soils to His disciples. He has linked the seed that failed to generate fruitful plants to the type of soil it landed on. The soil represented various types of people. Others may lie in a soil wherein they regard God's word as unfulfilling in some way. Others have built a weak foundation with the Lord that will crumble like a domino effect once they encounter distractions and forces that will lead them astray. Regardless, there will always be people who thrive in fertile soil. These are the people who truly hear and see the word of God. They will be capable of cultivating successful and fruitful crops as they adhere to the teachings of His kingdom, allowing them to establish a solid and enduring commitment to God.

The gathering kicked off through introducing the newest 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 of the 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 together with their compassionate and enchanting parents.

LOOK: The 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 have successfully held their valuable forum about Mental Health titled, "𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬," as part of their semestral social apostolate, on April 24, 2023, inside the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish. The seminar focuses on the significance and characteristics of good and poor mental health, as well as the underlying causes.

It is noted that mental health is an essential component of psychological health and has an immediate influence on quality of life. Dealing with our mental health affects us in a variety of ways, including sleeping, thinking, working, and being productive. That is why it is critical to prioritize mental health because it is linked to a person's overall well-being. Remember our resource speaker's 5As: active listening, asking questions, assessment, and AHA, as well as, Action.

Remember that our Lord is always watching and listening to us. Always tell Him about your problems because He is the only one who can make them go away. Trust His words and plans for your future. Believe that God will help you. Believe that 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 in His eyes.

In this part, we would like to extend our gratitude to the following:

First and foremost, we would like to thank the Lord for his guidance throughout the entire preparation of this event. We are grateful for as He always provides us with a bright and blessed day to carry out our activities, as well as for His kindness in providing us with a bounty of blessings that we have shared with our community, specifically to our fellow Youth Servant Leaders.

Next, the SHJP-YSLEP team is deeply grateful to Dr. Arwin Serrano for sharing his time, experience, and expertise about mental health, and for guiding every person in the room of the significance of caring for our mental health, as well as the process of helping someone with a mental illness. Thank you for reminding us that 𝐖𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑. Your words will be forever remembered.

Moreover, the aspiring community leaders recognize the efforts of Rev. Fr. Alvin Fullon, Parish Priest of Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, for accepting their invitation to deliver a heartwarming and inspirational message to both attendees and scholars. God's grace and kindness may be always with you.

We also want to extend our appreciation to our 𝐘𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐏 𝐂𝐎𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑, Sister Mylene Giray, for her never-ending support and guidance, along with our 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒 who took part and assisted us with the program, as well as our caring and supportive 𝐘𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐏 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 who made donations and contributions, especially to the food preparation for the attendees and scholars. Thank you for your enormous assistance as the program would not be successful without your help and kindness.

Consequently, we would like to congratulate the Youth Servant Leaders of The Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish for an extraordinary job. Congratulations on another successful community event! Long live everyone!

"𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐈 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐈 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮: 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐡, 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐈 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐝, 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝." - John 14:27

𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 is a fundamental aspect of overall well-being and has a direct impact on quality of life. It comprises a wide range of factors that contribute to an individual's emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Positive mental health, frequently referred to as mental well-being, has emerged as a key indicator of general health and longevity, transcending the mere absence of mental illness or psychiatric pathology, as it has a significant impact on the way we behave, feel, and think daily. Individuals with a high level of mental well-being are better in coping with daily challenges and stresses, preserve interpersonal connections, and discover a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment in life. Being socially connected, as noted in a highly cited article by Holt-Lunstad et al (2015), has an impact on a person's psychological and emotional well-being.

Thus, the 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 are hosting a worthwhile seminar titled "𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬," which will raise awareness about our mental health, particularly among the youth. As people deal with various health issues as a result of the pandemic, this talk will be beneficial to everyone, particularly for those who are grappling with emotional distress, which include signs and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. As a result, this project is intended to assist you in connecting with your inner self through the power of spirituality, as well as to remind everyone that 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑.

Furthermore, this seminar will be held on 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟐𝟒, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑, 𝟏:𝟎𝟎 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐧, at the 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡, and we are elated to have you there.
