I will be gone for a Week
Dear Friends,
I will be going on retreat during Easter Week, so I will not be posting. As readers of this blog know, several years ago I met the ecclessial movement “Communion and Liberation.” For the past three years I have been joining a group of priests who are all involved with CL for a week of retreat. The Spiritual Director of CL in the USA, Msgr. Lorenzo Albacete leads us in our retreat. The past two years we had encyclicals by the Holy Father to reflect on during our retreat. I am not sure what Msgr. will be talking on this year. In addition to the spiritual time of renewal, we also have time to form fraternity with other priests, and we enjoy cultural events. The first year I went we were in Emmitsburg, MD at the St. Elizabeth Seton Shrine. Last year we were at the Jesuit Retreat House in San Jose, CA. This year we will be in Philadelphia. Please pray for the 40 or so priests that will be on the retreat.
When I get back, with the busyness of Holy Week past, I really plan to get back into making regular reflections on the book, “Is it Possible to Live this Way? Vol. 1-Faith”. There will be an interruption when I go to St. Louis for my niece’s First Holy Communion at the end of the month, but we will get through it.
