It isn't surprising perhaps that I have had St. Ignatius retreat experiences in my early formative years..... what has surfaced in my soul lately is the possibility that Since Jesus died on the Cross and Since He rose from the Dead, doesn't that mean that Life Everlasting is Now Everywhere? We have yet to put on His eyes, His Heart, His mind? It has long troubled me that though we pray the Our Father as Christians across denominational lines, we have yet to realize, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven; perhaps we have stopped expecting? I haven't thrown the towel in yet, but I sure hope that we will begin to see His Excellence manifest collectively in this next decade.... friend told me about the 3 minute Retreat website and that is how I found you... I look forward to sharing your thoughts with my friends... Thank you First of all I love dotMagis that absolutely captured my soul’s yearning….. and my life’s work, really!

I just want to say that I hope the liturgy of the Mass although full of symbols and deep meaning often clutters. I just hope that Homilies be shortened and offer more quiet moments for People to ponder or bring with them a phrase or two to reflect upon. And I hope that Liturgies can also be spent outside the 4 walls of the church and more close to Nature. I grew up in a Catholic family though buts same I appreciate the values and good teachings of other beliefs such as the teachings of Zen and Yoga that I hope one day can be also integrated in the homilies....
