Linda, thanks for sharing your retreat experience at Snowmass. I will never get there but I felt I was there with you! Sharing in CO is so valuable. I did visit Chrysalis House in Warwick NY many years ago. I was looking at the Board of Directors bios and saw that Mary Dwyer was at Warwick That brought back some memories of CO when it was starting it is so wonderful to see how it has grown. I would never have guessed.
This Sunday’s readings are for me the most powerful of the whole year. I was blessed that our parish priest seemed to be in the same place and rang the bells for me. It was not his homily but his Faith and you could see that this was an exceptional day for him personally. I enjoyed being in his presence and sharing in his Faith. After all this is what CO is all about. We have it in the Eucharist, Centering Prayer, Lectio Divina and Welcoming Prayer. It is as revolutionary as those who heard Jesus for the first time. We have the advantage of time and understanding more clearly. What gifts we are given. What miracles and graces. This Sunday shows why this is so and the most precious legacy that Jesus left us. All we have to do is enter into it and Everything is ours. What a gift. And CO spreads the message and distributes all the gifts we so desperately need in this world today!
