A Sabbatical...
A time for relaxing,
listening,
thinking;
a time for exploring and
seeing again our FMM life
in the context of today;
a time for praying
and being together;
A time for being alone
And taking the time
to see again
the vision in a new way...
This is a time of mutual enrichment
in a context of relation, community and prayer.

"As we advance in
age and as grace is increasingly given to us, Jesus should strengthen
our faith, our fidelity should kindle our hope, and the light of faith
should make our love more fervent."
