Lent is a great time for your spiritual "performance review"

I am back from retreat, joyful and thankful!

If you have not recently, I recommend getting away by yourself sometime soon. We need to step out of our daily trappings to gain perspective on what is truly important in our lives. I do not mean a vacation or going to visit a friend, but alone, you in God in a spiritual setting; for a few days or just a few hours. It gives/forces you the opportunity to see your life as others and God do.

One of the hardest things for someone to do in business is a performance review. But, we all know how it is a necessary exercise if you want your employees to gain perspective and improve their work.

It is the same with a personal retreat. If you truly want to be (as Matthew Kelly says so well) "the best version of ourselves" then take the time, find the time, use the time as you would counsel your best friend to do. Take a review of your spiritual life and work to improve. It will affect all other areas of your life.

My retreat was at Gethsemani in KY. Others I know love to go to Whitehouse outside St. Louis. Look for others on line at Catholic City.

Peace be with you

All the ways of a man may be right in his own eyes,
but it is the LORD who proves hearts.
