A Vacation Full Of Grace

We just returned off the Midwest CL Vacation. It was a great event! It included such things as daily Mass, morning/evening prayer, hiking, swimming, canoeing, cave exploring, softball, tennis, volley-ball, horse-shoes & badminton tournaments, horse-back riding, a hay-ride for the kids, eating, drinking of a variety of refreshments, singing, testimonies, a presentation on Charles Peguy, and moments of beauty with musical pieces from the great composers.

On the final day, Mike Eppler and I lead the Questions and Answers Session and the Final Synthesis. Topics of discussion included the meaning of Desire/desires, preference, friendship, unity, mercy, the differences between School of Community & Fraternity, and where do we go from here. I thank Our Lady for the many moments of grace during this vacation!

Please say a prayer for Fr. Meinrad's father who passed away in the midst of this vacation. Our vacation next year will be from the 13-16th of July. Mark your calendars to be there!
