Sabado, June 13, 2009
"Do Not Be Afraid" was the central theme of a day long retreat shared by DioCal and DAC last year. I'm sometimes asked about courage, and I am very certain that my moments of fear and anxiety are displaced by the hope of others. As I slipped into a pew at the Cathedral this morning, uneasy about my struggle with the language. A leaflet from the retreat was there before me, in the rack on the back of the pew in front of me. "Prepare, Ask, Imagine, Trust."
"Quiet yourself in the presence of God. Acknowledge your receptivity to God. Ask for the gift of awe and amazement before the mystery of God becoming human...Let your heart speak to God of your deep gratitude for this compassionate love for all humankind...and for yourself."
Amem.
