After a Retreat: How Do You Keep the Glow Burning?

I recently came home from a retreat. Retreats are wonderful, blessed experiences -- the deep peace you feel, the communion with God, the abundance of prayer and reflection time, the awakenings you come to, the clarity of God’s voice, and the love and community of others with you....

"We should challenge the relativism that tells us there is no right or wrong, when every instinct of our mind knows it is not so, and is a mere excuse to allow us to indulge in what we believe we can get away with. A world without values quickly becomes a world without value."

How Beautiful! "The Holy Mass"
