Discernment Retreat: Day 3

I woke early and made some coffee and enjoyed the remainder of the vow of silence that we took each night during the retreat. That time to pray, think and write was a treasure to be sure.

Overall, I think the retreat was a success for me. I wanted to meet as many from the diocese as possible. I think I at least shook hands with everyone. I was pleased to have conversations with every member of the Commission on Ministry that was present and I think those conversations went well. It is also a great thing to know the faces of those around the diocese that are also in the process of ordination.

It is a long process ahead, like a high mountain looming overhead. We’ve broken camp and have begun our climb. May the Lord in his good pleasure deliver his servant to its summit. Amen.
