One of the special things about going on a retreat at St. Joseph’s is finding the special spot at the retreat center where one can settle in and open up to the Lord. It is always fun to find out from retreatants where their special place is! In this time of being home bound, one can still set up a special place in one’s home to help facilitate the encounter with the Lord.

My classmate from the seminary, Fr. Vincent Rogers, is a Trappist Monk. I remember asking him one time about their silent reading time at the monastery.
