A Journey Faith: Walking with Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, & other Companions along the way
Annual Thomas Merton Retreat
Saturday, November 16, 1:00–4:00 P.M.
Pope Francis has distinguished between what he calls a “laboratory faith” and a “journey faith.” The first can appear like a “compendium of abstract truths,” while in a journey faith we find God along the way, which “means going, walking, doing, searching, seeing. . . . We must enter into the adventure of the quest for meeting God; we must let God search and encounter us. . . . God is encountered walking along the path.”
