Taking the Promise 1988
| Quotes from homilies during the retreat
2007 I think this Order empowers me, and keeps me grounded, to always begin again each time I gather with you. It is a power born out of the tremendous gift of the Ascension, of not adapting to immaturity, but instead as focusing on the strengths forged in these holy friendships. ... My heart is bigger, once again. I am stronger, I thank God for you. Greg Rickel Holy Unity brings anxiety and occasionally hate. And in one of the lovely paradoxes of faith -- oneness also is how we bear the anxiety and hatred that comes upon us. The thing that brings down the spirits of fear and hate is also what saves us. In and with Christ we are one with the Father. The Oneness is our Protection. Bob Gallagher
