HUNGERING FOR GOD
The Sophomore Class followed Jesus and headed for the beautiful hills of Stirling to retreat with the Lord, our retreat director, Eddie, and our campus Ministers. Eddie delivered happiness with His big heart and love of the Lord.
The day was full of blessings as the students enjoyed prayer and fellowship on the sacred grounds of the Shrine of St. Joseph's.
After a few fun-filled ice breakers, they reflected on the Word of God and the theme of Hunger Games. The question posed: What do we hunger for in our lives and what games do we play that lead us away from the Truth? According to the Gospel of Matthew 6:21, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be." We need to Hunger for God to be happy as God hungers for us.
Going deeper, we are reminded of the faith-filled words of St. Augustine who shared, "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."
The day concluded with a walk by the Twin Tower Remembrance of our loved ones who died in the tragedy of 9-11. We paused in silence as the bells tolled... and continued to the Chapel to pray and ask for God's mercy.
We give thanks to our loving God for the gift of our donors and Retreat Director, Eddie, who have made this a grace-filled day overflowing with faith and hope.
