"A
Way of Being; A Way of Seeing"
Do not let the weeds of your fear grow through
your deams of joy. We can all experience the happiness
we long for.

"The God image
of Jesus and our call to follow him today"
Jesus was sent to reveal to us who God really
is and who He wants to be for us. He summarized
his message in two words or phrases. The first
one contains his God experience expressed in the
word Abba ( his human expression of his innermost
experience of God) and the second one is the phrase
Kingdom of God, God's dream for the whole of creation.
He called disciples whom he sent out to carry
on his own mission. Therefore, the fundamental
norm and the supreme law of every Christian is
to follow the Lord as he walked over this earth,
as Vatican II phrased it. The retreat wants to
call us back to Jesus' basic message and to come
to realize what following him will mean for us
today.
