JTO Connect 2018

July 27-29   St. Meinrad, IN

The following are the collection of Facebook posts by Patrick Mosher he provided throughout the weekend.

“I’ve done what I came here to do. Now, do what you are here to do”. What is YOUR mission — with Francis by your side?

Fr Maurice Hayes presides our Sunday liturgy. We are Jesus’ pearls! He gives us everything we need! Shine forth!

Starting today’s session by singing, Peace is Flowing like a River. Did you hear us? Feel us?

Our Saturday liturgy in the beautiful chapel at St Meinrad’s.  Fr Joe Nelson, Fr Maurice Hayes co-presiding. I’m posting messages so you can join us on the journey. Respond “I’m Here” if you are following! We Belong to you, O Lord!

Fr Don Halpern’s afternoon session. Francis’ message of trust to Leo (google it!). “In whatever way you will best please our Lord God…Take that way with the Lords blessing”. Francis trusts us to walk with the Lord! ‘Be at peace’ is our call as Franciscans. This is what I desire with all my heart. Peace, my brothers and sisters!

Fr. Donald Halpern in our Saturday morning session. Francis stretches our purpose: Right Faith, Certain Hope and Perfect Charity. Yikes…the adjectives create quite a stretch! May we always discern your holy and true will. What leper do you need to embrace today?

We gather and begin.   Evening Prayer…we open our hearts. Let us be like the lilies of the fields. Jesus I trust in you! Amen!

Evening Prayer.  Oh, the memories of spirit-lifting evening prayers!!! Peace be with you!

And so it begins…..JTO Connect 2018 Planning Team gathers! We’ll see many of you soon! If you are planning to come, say “on my way”. If you can’t make it, send us your blessings. Peace and Good to all!
