Our RC Monthly Retreats began in September. This year's theme is Prayer, especially all Christ taught us to pray in the "Our Father." Each month we will look at a line from the Lord's Prayer and what it teaches us about prayer, God, and holiness. These will be the specific themes each month: September- God the Father; (October-Triduum); November- Our Goal is to Bring All Things Under Christ; December- The Joys of Fulfilling God's Will; January- God Always Provides; February- Forgiveness; March- Help Us, Lord, to Always Have a Clean Heart; and April- God Will Make Us Victorious if We Trust in Him.
I am excited to dig deeper into the "Our Father" and prayer. I've grown so much each year from our Monthly Retreats and the topics we focused on so intently each year: the Beatitudes as an Imitation of Christ (or Christ's virtues) last year and the Core Convictions of a Catholic and member of RC in 2007-2008. (Anyone wanting a refresher can find the 8 Core Convictions listed in the sidebar.)
