Love the idea for the “Faith Like a Child Retreat.” My favorite juice “box” as a kid was Capri Sun, but now that I’m an adult, I can’t figure out how I used to magically get the straw into that “box” without spilling fruit punch all over myself.

I brought fruit snacks and juice boxes on our “Faith Like a Child” retreat. … The teens LOVED them.

As for low-budget snacks: popcorn is always a hit.

Chris, good stuff! Loved when I first heard that from Dr. Scott Hahn back in the early days of learning more about depth of our Catholic faith.

That was a home run hit for Mary!

Revelations 12:17 “Then the dragon became angry with the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring, those who keep God’s commandments and bear witness to Jesus.”
>> This reiterates that those who are baptised and keep the commandments of God are “the rest of her offspring” as Jesus told on the cross.
>> This also reiterates the need to keep God’s commandments. That those who might simply “believe” but do not keep the commandments of God are not members of the Mystical Body of Christ. “…Faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” (James 2:17). “Circumcision means nothing (aka Mosaic Law), what matters is keeping God’s commandments.” (1 Corinthians 7:19).
>> We bear “witness” by bearing good fruits. “A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. So by their fruits (witness) you will know them.”

Great article, Chris.

Nice! I’ve come to learn that clearing off my voicemail is one of the best feeling in the world.

This is great- I just walked into my office, saw the blinking light, and thought it would go away if I read something inspiring on here. It worked! this post inspired me to listen to it! And I’m so glad I did- it was only a sales call!
