  Laurence Freeman OSB Excerpts from Talks at a retreat in Montreal, 2002

  A retreat given by a Jesuit priest made the point that the words found in Isaiah  mentioned earlier are like love letters sent from God who keeps on saying “ I give myself to you”. The retreat master Fr Greg also provided exercises for ways in which we can listen for God in everyday situations where he pours out gifts of love throughout our lives if we are prepared to look for them. It could be our parents , or a sunny trip abroad, the smell of a BBQ, a grandmother and her grandchild, an ocean liner, a blue sky. One aim of the retreat was to then be thankful for these gifts every day once you had recognised them for what they are. This is how God love us and is the way we fulfil the commandment of Jesus to love one another. As I have loved you. That is with great generosity and gratitude.
