As we share this kind of hospitality, we prepare in each other the soil for the seed of God s word to grow and flourish. As each of us responds to this nurturing, then we are all strengthened and enriched as a community. I feel quite passionately about encouraging the growth of this kind of presence or charity to one another because it enriches all our relationships at home, at work and in the Church. To this end, I hope to offer a series of workshops in the Fall exploring topics such as Listening Skills, Communication Styles, Overcoming Barriers to Communicating, and Conflict Resolution. Stayed tuned for upcoming dates and details.

Sometimes we simply feel stuck , and talking a problem through with someone impartial can help us get a new perspective on an issue, see things more clearly, get closer to determining a possible course of action or let go of what is beyond our control. I realized that if I bent and bent again to gather leaves, each one more perfect than the last, my back would be permanently bowed before all Creation. God, whose very own you are, will deliver you from out of them. He will either shield you from suffering or will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at Peace and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.
