Our Seniors had the most amazing retreat at Stella Maris Retreat Center, Long Branch on April 12 & 13. Our Retreat Team was on fire with the Spirit and it spread throughout the entire Senior Class.
Everywhere we looked, we were surrounded by the warm embrace of God's Love. The beauty of Creation engulfed us beginning with Brother Sun and ending with Sister Moon.
We laughed, we cried, we played and we prayed with the Spirit of the Lord in our midst. We walked along the shore with Peter and experienced the Risen Christ.
"It was a true awakening... the walls we built came tumbling down."
They reflected on their four years at
Benedictine Academy as they were blindfolded, connected together in a chain of friendship, for a morning TRUST WALK.
"Fear was slowly replaced by trust... a mirror reflection of our walk with Jesus."
We toasted the Class of 2010 with thanks and praise to the Lord in Chapel during an evening candlelit prayer service. Attitudes of love and gratefulness for their B.A. Sisters flowed from their hearts in abundance.
How Great Thou Art, our Lord, our God!
