From our correspondence with Contemplative Outreach's Father Carl Arico:
Those of you who have experienced my retreats have come to know that I always ask three questions:
Most of us spend a lot of time dealing with the healing and forgiving but very little time on what needs to be celebrated, especially celebrating how God has worked in our lives. Because of this, there is an imbalance in our lives. Where is the JOY? Where is the HOPE and TRUST?
I will suggest that we look at one or two important events in our lives thru the lenses of our daily routine, the human condition, spiritual practices, the surprise graces (God’s winks) and the magnification (manifesting) of it to others.
How awesome it was to celebrate how the presence of Father Keating impacted our lives. Let’s take some time to celebrate our own life in a spirit of gratitude for all the Lord has done for us.
We are extremely blessed to welcome Father Carl to Minnesota. He is a founding member of Contemplative Outreach, and well-known for his gift of teaching about the spiritual journey in a down-to-earth, practical, compassionate, and humorous manner.
