Retreat Day 1

Today is the first full day of retreat for the priests of the Salina, Kansas Diocese. Fr. Martin Pable, OFM Cap is the retreat master. He has done a very good job thus far. The conference this morning was about our relationship with God. As the question asked, "Do you know God?" How do we know God? Just like any relationship, be it a husband/wife, friend, etc. We know them by spending time with them and conversing with them about our lives, our hopes and dreams, our fears, and so on. The same is true with God. We know God by spending time with Him prayer and conversing with Him. As we speak to God, we need to allow God the time to speak to us. Listen to the voice of God in the depths of your heart and soul. Stay connected to God through prayer each and every day. It was a good message for me to hear because sometimes our prayer can become dry, but do not give up or lose hope. Like the presenter said, when we pray we will get more work done, it will be good for our patience, and it will help us to bear much fruit. Let me ask you, "Do you know God?" Take the time to know Him and it will truly do wonders for your life and faith. Keep us in prayer during this time and know that you are in my prayers! God Bless You!!!
