Take the time to minister to your own soul so you can minister to others. In the silence, The Word becomes more audible; His Peace permeates more deeply, and there is refreshment that comes from time apart. Come away to the quiet, to the calm, to the Creator. Share rich liturgy and holy hours through the day and night. Experience communion and consolation. Be made new from the inside out.
