.
In several retreats and reflections sessions already this year I have used the theme for this Jubilee Year: Pilgrims of Hope.
I’m looking forward to offering the reflection at Tuesday’s gathering at Sacred Heart Addington (Christchurch), open to all, especially those who are older – like me!
I have been asked to offer a 30 minute reflection (and lunch is provided as well). If you would like to join us send me a note at john@fff.org.nz and I’ll pass on extra numbers. I know the RSVP was a couple of day’s ago but I’ll just say I forgot! No problem.
Bring a friend or two – it’s not just for Catholics!
I look forward to seeing you there.
May God richly bless your Reflection facilitation and impact on participants Fr John.
Father John
Is there any chance you could put your speech on F F F for those who are unable to attend?
Thanks – P
Much appreciated your reflections at Addington yesterday, John. Have also followed up with your Lectio Divina today which I also appreciated
Just to share one of those ‘God’ experiences’ you referred to yesterday – these days I often find myself asking ‘God, where are you’ This morning before going for a walk, I responded to a couple of email requests from agencies seeking financial support for people in need of help. While doing this I often find myself thinking that the reason I’m responding is because I feel guilty if I don’t rather than real concern for those in need. Having walked for a while the query ‘God, where are you’ arose again so I sat down to take in the great surrounds and in doing so received a response ‘I am present in those people such as the homeless and the blind you responded to this morning and for whom your support has been requested !’
