St. Marcellin urged all Marists to be good educators, and to do so most effectively, to love the students and love them equally. We wouldn't be able to do that unless we experience God's love first. And so it is, and here we are, at a retreat house with 40 students to help them discover God's love for them, to "educate" them in God's love while at the same time experiencing God's love. All the preparation that goes into such a retreat, the preparation of talks, the minutiae of room assignments, snacks, schedules...all fall into place, a sign that God wants this and that his loving care is with us every step of the way.
As we proceed this day, may we remember that God knows us, watches us, and helps us with the details of our lives as well as the bigger things. We are not alone, he truly is with us.
Please pray for us for the next two days that we may be aware of God's care, and that we make the retreatants so aware of it that it will affect their lives well into the future. Thank you.
Bro. Rene
