Prayer, Wine, Chocolate Retreat Update!

KatharineDrexelRetreat1.jpg

The 1st Prayer, Wine, Chocolate Retreat is less than three weeks away – and I am super excited!

The Retreat, which starts at The National Shrine of St. Katharine Drexel and continues after lunch with a wine tour in Bucks County, PA is a unique and awesome way to share faith and fellowship.

At this time, the Tastings and Tour bus for the wine tour is sold out.

Thank you so much to those who bought their tickets!

The Tastings and Tours bus will pick up those who reserved their seats at 1:00 and drive to Buckingham Valley Vineyards and Wycombe Vineyards.  Both of these wineries are located about 30 minutes away from the Shrine in Bucks County, PA.

However, there is still plenty of room for the morning retreat and lunch at the Shrine!

The official start time of the Retreat is 9:30 am (the Mass starts at that time); however, if you would like to join a small group of us for the Rosary – we hope to pray it outside around 8:45!

We will then attend Mass.  After Mass we will be shown a movie about St. Katharine Drexel.  Once the film is over, we will have personal time to reflect and pray.  There is a gift shop and everyone is welcome to browse and shop.  Lunch will be served around noon.  There is a beautiful outdoor patio to sit on and there is also an indoor dining room.

Keep in mind, the National Shrine of Saint Katharine Drexel is one of the few places that have a designated Holy Door of Mercy!  You will get to walk through that door on the morning of the Retreat!

 

I’m working on some added fun too 🙂  I hope you will reserve your spot if you have not already!

If you would like to attend the morning/lunch part of the Retreat, mail your name, email address and $17.00 to:

Amy Brooks

Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat

P.O. Box 194

Hatboro, PA 19040

When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger with self-confidence… and then I became very aware of how angry people had hurt me, but sad people were not hurtful.
At one point I remember thinking… “who do you want to be? A person that is hurtful… or someone else? if you can choose sadness instead of anger, do it. You don’t want to hurt people.”
I don’t know if Saint John Paul II really said this quote… but I do believe it’s solid advice when people we interact with do upsetting things. 

Choose sadness over anger… and pray for the people and about the situations that are upsetting you.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of th In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to live.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. 
Amen.

You are the average of the five people you spend t You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with," popularized by Jim Rohn, suggests that your mindset, behaviors, and success are heavily influenced by your closest  circle. These individuals shape your habits, energy, and future by acting as a reflection of your own choices and environment. 

I don’t know who Jim Rohn is, but my guess is Saint Francis DeSales would agree with him.

“What does God want me to do??!!!@ Ever ask this “What does God want me to do??!!!@

Ever ask this question?
I feel like I’ve been asking it my whole life.

Some of the best advice I have gotten have been from Saints.

God has a plan for each of us. We are all called to holiness… but we do not all go by the same path (wise words from Saint Katharine Drexel).

The quotes I included in the Be Yourself Journal are actionable, doable and clear.

Want to know what other quotes or advice are inside? Comment MORE and I’ll share more!
