MOUNT SAVIOUR
SUMMEREXPERIENCE
for Catholic men 21 to 35
1 July through 6
August
This will be the 13th summer that we have
sponsored a five week live-in experience from
1 July through 6 August for Catholic men that is described
in the enclosed flyer.Since monastic life began as a lay movement, we realized
we could serve the Church in our day by offering those who intend to remain
laymen an opportunity to deepen their understanding and experience of the
Faith.
Prayer & Study
One participant from the Brockport, N.Y. area
wrote:“My overall experience was tremendously positive.While I didn’t
particularly notice it at the time, the daily experience of the Word changed my
ways of thinking and looking at the world over thecourse of the summer.I
noticed this more in the months after the program – in my decision making and
in my prayer.I was constantly referring back to the Scriptures and the passages
we both studied and heard at the Divine Office.I had always seen Scripture as a
resource, but since the summer, I’ve come to see it as a nourishment.”
Work
There is something about living in a community
whose focus in the Faith, with people other than our family, our friends at
work or school, or the parish.Our Catholic Faith and the Hope that motivates it
can take a new dimension and we begin to realize God’s love for us is freely
given and surpasses knowledge and understanding.This new experience is carried
on for the rest of their lives in their families, friendships, work and
parishes.
