I was delighted to see that in the July/August edition of Hope Magazine, published by the Diocese of Joliet, that the writers explored the ways in which one can find God while on vacation. In his monthly column, Fr. Welch, O. Carm, wrote:
"I am convinced that many vacations are actually pilgrimages. We return to certain places time and again because they are restorative in ways other places are not. We are different when we are there, and when we return we know we have been in touch with other dimensions of our life. We know there is "more" to us, and "more" to our lives." p. 7
At Mayslake Ministries, we too, believe that vacations, even a one day trip, can restore us to our inner center of grace, and that is the reason for the launching of our new spiritual enrichment program entitled, On Holiday with God. Under the direction of Suzette Horyza, a Mayslake Ministries affiliate and seasoned tour guide, On Holiday with God trips will help us rediscover the mystery of God as it is revealed through the people, places, and things of new and exciting destinations. On Holiday with God promises to lead you on the journey of a lifetime, one beautiful day at a time.
For those of you who are interested in this kind of truly unique retreat experience, Mayslake Ministries is compiling a special email list that will give you up to date information on upcoming trips, availability, and special pricings. Please reply to this e-mail with your full name and phone number if you would like to be included on this list. For a complete listing of our upcoming tours, including a Day at the Botanical Gardens on August 18th, please check out our website at www.mayslakeministries.org or call Dr. Mary Amore at 630-268-9000.
Why not plan today to go On Holiday with God!
