Dear Friends,
The theme of our annual conference which will be held the weekend of September 20th to the 22nd, 2024, at the beautiful San Damiano Retreat Center in Danville, California, is Secular Consecration: Falling in Love Again.
What does falling in love suggest to us? The engagement of the heart and the mind in the direction of a beloved object. Most of us have experienced falling in love. What happens to us? We are absorbed with, we think about, meditate upon the object of our desire. And then we look to please. And this is what the Church is emphasizing in its three year Eucharistic Revival: our falling in love again or more intensely with the Source of all love – Jesus Christ, present in body, blood, soul and divinity in the small piece of bread known as the Eucharist and carrying that in mission every day to everyone we meet.
