Weekend Silent Retreat Theme: “All is Made New”
St. Francis of Assisi rejoiced in both the splendor and the humility of God that was reflected in creation, the nativity and the cross and resurrection. The compassion he encountered from God and shared with others led him to express joy in his praises of the Most High God. This caused his heart to be made new. As we ponder these insights of St. Francis may our hearts also be made new and filled with joy.
