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 fourth month of reflection and retreat, “Compelled by the Holy Spirit”.

“Call upon the Holy Spirit in your prayer. Rely each day on the guidance and gift of the Spirit to show you a deep faith, an abundant love and true forgiveness. “
