This weekend we will once again host a group of candidates for a Monastic Experience Weekend. We are always edified by their openness and their real desire to understand how God's invitation is being communicated to them. We often invite them to ponder these words from the Prophet Jeremiah:
I know well the plans I have in mind for you, plans
for your welfare, not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope. When
you call me, when you go to pray to me, I will listen to you. When you look for
me, you will find me. Yes, when you seek me with all your heart, you will find
me with you, and I will change your lot. Jeremiah 29.11-14
