Pope Benedict XVI has declared a Year of Faith to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Vatican II. In celebration of this moment of renewal, I have written a retreat for each month beginning October 11, 2012 through November 24, 2013. This three minute audio retreat is meant to focus on some essential aspects of our faith and to invite us into prayer. I hope you will enjoy the audio version as well as the written text during this year. Please join me now for this sixth month of reflection and retreat, “The Holy Word of God”.

“Pray with an open heart and allow God to speak to you from these ancient texts.. Be at peace among the stories of love.“
