I've had the privilege of being a part of a
Christian Awakening Retreat
for some of our senior students this week. I led an evening meditation on Tuesday, reflected on the beauty of the Mass prior to celebrating Mass, will give a talk on Sacramental Moments this afternoon, and will preach at tomorrow's closing Mass. Throughout the course of the week, I have offered and will continue to offer a consistent message: God loves you.
