As disciples of Jesus, our hearts are meant to burn with love unceasingly. Solitude is a wonderful place to learn how to kindle this sacred Spirit-filled fire into flame. It can then become a constant source of delight. This warmth is unique and does not compare with any other stirrings the heart can experience. In the stillness of solitude, the Holy Spirit will come to us and make his home in us. Solitude delivers us into the “zone” of the Holy Spirit. Join Father Mark (virtually) on a raft for eight days as he seeks to prove the efficacy of seven principles for thriving in solitude.

Join me on Thursdays at 7 PM beginning on July 8, 2021 and going through August 26, 2021.
