vfmmgugwz We Retreat. Three days of silence, redollection and prayer. Days of intimacy with God. Morning Mass and, together with the Priest at the altar, offering Jesus Christ to His Almighty Father. Through the supreme Sacrifice of the Cross, resolving to die like You, Dear Lord, and to live like You. Finding life and strength each day in the living Bread of Heaven . . . and in the word of God as it fell from the lips of Father John Ryan, SJ. What am l doing? How am l living? Thus the thoughts penetrate. The silence of Retreat, unbroken by those who realize the importance of these days of grace. A silence not empty or barren, but full of the peace and com- fort of being close to Our Lord and His teachings. ls He pleased with me? Answers were found in spiritual reading.

What more can I do? In conferences with Father Ryan. In reflection. Resolutions followed. Strength and courage to fulfill them are found only in the Blessed Sacrament. This was the prayer at Bene- diction each afternoon. At Exposition on the last day. UO, My God, show me the way to Your Eternal Kingdom. This year,s retreat theme was hased on the Fatima message. We dedicated these three days to Our Blessed Mother in recognition of her Marian Year. We asked her to intercede for us with her Divine Son. And to protect us in all things. As we turn to our earthly mother in time of decision or strife, so we look to Mary, Mother of all mankind, to help us fulfill the Will of our Heavenly Father. makea x 4 'I 'R
