You are invited to attend Destined: A Kerygma Retreat on August 26th, at Old St. Patrick’s in Ann Arbor, Michigan!
A good friend ministry partner, and master catechist, Monica Pope, and I have led dozens of kerygmatic retreats for parishes and dioceses for the past several years. Last year, the Lord put it on our hearts to write our own kerygma retreat, one focused on the Eucharistic Liturgy.
We presented this retreat for a parish in Waukon, Iowa back in March, and we're presenting it to Catholic school staff in Norwalk, Ohio in a couple of weeks, but August 26th is the first time we're presenting it in our local Catholic community.
DESTINED is a one-day retreat that will, at every moment, proclaim God’s goodness and relentless desire for you. We will present the rescue mission of Jesus Christ as revealed in Scripture. We will tell the story of Jesus Christ as experienced in our own lives. We will lead you to encounter Jesus Christ in the Eucharistic Liturgy.
“Christian faith is either an encounter with Him alive, or it does not exist. The Liturgy guarantees for us the possibility of such an encounter. For us a vague memory of the Last Supper would do no good. We need to be present at that Supper, to be able to hear his voice, to eat his Body and to drink his Blood. We need Him. In the Eucharist and in all the sacraments we are guaranteed the possibility of encountering the Lord Jesus and of having the power of his Paschal Mystery reach us” (Desiderio Desideravi 10).
DESTINED is for anyone who aches for a renewed encounter with Jesus Christ, who desires to experience a God who is as good as He says He is, who thirsts for greater healing and transformation whenever they attend Mass.
DESTINED is a quiet, powerful day-long retreat divided into four sessions. We model our approach on the Road to Emmaus, where Jesus first opened up the scriptures and then revealed himself in the breaking of the bread. So the first three sessions walk through key stories in the Old Testament, Gospels, and New Testament—along with personal testimonies—to proclaim God's desire to rescue us and make us partakers of the divine nature.
The final talk is all about the Eucharistic Liturgy as the privileged way that God gives us to not just remember his saving work, but to participate in it. In addition to the talks, the retreat includes time for personal prayer, Eucharistic Adoration, and prayer ministry.
Come participate in a new and transformative encounter with Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

“Christian faith is either an encounter with Him alive, or it does not exist."
Please correct your wording. "faith" and 'thinking' are only real in relation to belief. One's belief as by definition always in some degree of uncertainty is the keeping or allowing within one's consecrated family of a consecrated marriage, either celibate vowed to man in Christ or male female vowed to God, of the inseparability and qualitative equality of one's thinking gift procreation role as a helper of one's and others' families and one's having faith in need of union of one's family member identity with one or more other family member identities.
"The cause [as this not keeping/allowing in purporting presuming inversion of gift and need] and remedy [as this keeping/allowing] of sexual abuse is within the family" as pointed out by Cardinal Arlindo Furtado on 28 October 2018 as delegate of Pope Francis at his Synod on the Family, Youth and Discernment at the Vatican in October" 2018 reported in Crux on 28 October 2018.
This purporting presuming inversion of gift and need in grooming is occult as hidden and incest connected as substitute mate.
This keeping/allowing is the doing/being of the multiplier in economics.
The first testing of the multiplier was from 1931 to 1964 by an economist and statistician, my father, Colin Clark, joined in a valid consecrated male female marriage from 1946 with his conclusions applied to himself in his employment simultaneously by the UNO Food and Agriculture Organisation and the Vatican Council 2 Pope St Paul V1's Commission on Population.
My father's finding in 1964 from this testing of the multiplier was applied to himself in his accountability and amends for failing in this keeping/allowing prior to his consenting to be joined in a valid consecrated male female marriage vowed to God on the reference point of the consents by Mary to be joined in two immediately successive consecrated marriages, celibate: "let it be to me", Lk 1:38, and male female: "Joseph ... took his wife", Mt 1:24, from just prior to my conception in April-May 1946.

This finding by my father was of "just about paripassu rate of growth of population and food supplies in the developing countries." ("Colin Clark Reminisces with Bruce McFarlane and Derek Healey:, Adelaide University, Australia, 3 August 1977, p.29 of transcript of audiotape).
Thus, the lie was given to the "Malthusian" scare (Thomas Malthus, Principles of Population, 1796) that food supplies could not keep up with population growth.
I will be praying for your team and the retreatants that day.
