Here is a small debriefing of our weekend retreat.
We were 25 people present, including three teenagers of 16 and 17 years of age. Those who returned for the second or third time are surprised by the richness of the teaching and certain contents that affect them more than the last time.
During the retreat, four ladies came to me to be heard and to seek advice. They have been suffering greatly, some of them for decades. Accepting suffering and diving in the boat are both hard to achieve and I realized at the end of the retreat that they had managed to take that step!
A man who came back for the second time confessed and asked me if it was normal for him to feel like crying at Mass after confession and at other times, feeling his heart so filled with the Love poured into it by the Father.
As in every retreat, people have told me that they have not confessed for 15 years or more and thanked me for giving them this opportunity. They rediscover this sacrament. I am surprised to see their faces after confession: their eyes sparkled and their facial features were relaxed; one felt the joy which inhabited them. Blessed be the Lord!
Another great thank you for putting all your teachings on DVD. They continue to rejoice those who listen and look at them.
