The retreat is going well. The talks have been well recieved. The community spirit is impressive. There are priests and brothers here in this province from North America and Canada, Vietnam, Haiti, and Tanzania. The men from Vietnam sang a beautiful hymn to Mary in Vietnamese at today's liturgy.
Yesterday I met and had a good conversation with a fellow blogger. He is known by several Spiritans and so it was a good time for him to make connections with the community again. It was a pleasant and gracious encounter and it is good to know that there are many wonderful people in this world of blogging.
I didn't know Canada had seceded from North America...or did the current adminstration kick them out because they don't deserve the name "American" ?
May God bless all of you on this retreat.
I believe they actually did kick us out. Bush didn't like it much when our Liberal Party so undeservingly won power again. North America would have been such a better place with the Conservative Party of Canada and the Republican Party of the USA ruling it (or at least the majority of it).
