A Spirituality of Renewal

A spirituality of renewal begins with personal consecration to Christ: intentional self-offering to Him in love. It is consecration to a life for Him, and for others because of Him. It is a spirituality of the ordinary life, for ordinary men and women. It is for ordinary persons, yet ones who by holy grace yearn to do great things for God. It is a spirituality of prayer and works offered in love and in reparation. It is an ordinary yet extraordinary life in Christ that may be joyfully hidden, unrecognized and unacknowledged. It is a life of quiet labor in Him, loving in faith and in hope for His Promise.

Renewal of the Church - the Holy Church sent as Sacrament to the world - begins with the renewal of persons, one person at a time.

is one awakened, as if rising from a strange sleep to discover the world and life anew. He has found his life, his vocation, his purpose: all is in Christ.

Christ is very near, yet how distant until He shows Himself to us! He is found in quietness, in solitude, in prayer. Renewal of the inner man requires an interior life - a life of prayer.

"Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord.
Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth,
being patient over it
until it receives the early and the late rain."
(James 5:7)
