Retreat

This weekend, Stephanie S., Stephanie P. K., Kelly and I went on the Woman's Charismatic Catholic retreat again in Pass Christian, MS. It was really great! We went for the Saturday session. We usually go for the whole weekend, but due to circumstances we were only able to go for one day. It is always nice to go on a retreat and relax in the presence of our Lord. It is kind of like "Cleansing the soul" again! Last year, we came home "on fire with the Holy Spirit" as our family and friends described it! This year, we are on fire, but not as "hot!" We figured out that for us, we need to go for the entire weekend to get the full effect.

One special thing did happen while we were there...as we started to say the Rosary, the entire room smelled of roses!! Apparently, and I didn't know this, but that means that our Blessed Mother, Mary, is in the presence of you! It was incredible! It was distinctly the smell of roses and no other flower. I thought this was really an extraordinary thing. The funny part is, is that we don't know if everyone smelled it! I'm working on finding that out.

Well, I hope everyone had a restful and relaxing weekend. Just wanted to share my experience with everyone!
