Thought provoking
It is not wrong to want to live better; what is wrong is a style of life which is presumed to be better when it is directed toward “having” rather than “being,” which wants to have more, not in order to be more but in order to spend life in enjoyment as an end in itself.
-Pope John Paul II Centesimus Annus, no. 36.

OK, how adorable is the new picture……..you are very blessed!
What a delightful and outstanding site and organisation! Thank you very much for linking to the site and I after reading yours, I’ve decided to attend the conference!
We are looking to have a conference hopefully by early next year and I will be delighted to meet all of you and learn as much as I can at the event.
By the way, I am also going to let Tim Ehlen at Building Catholic Communities (www.buildingcatholiccommunities.org) know about your organisation. He is located in the Maryland area (I’m from NY) and has a conference currently in D.C. on the subject.
Let’s keep in touch!
