In the blink of an eye, we are halfway through our time here in Ypsilanti. In a few short weeks, we'll be on our way back home, and back to the lives we were living before. Does this have to end?! The thought of it is too grimdark, so I'll save it for a future blog post. At the mid-point, I think it's safe to say that our group has been put through a lot, but we're ready for the second half.
This past week has been somewhat of a rejuvenation week. On Monday, we spent the day (July 4th) on a lake with the Flint Missionaries relaxing. Kids Camp is in it's planning week. Thursday was our Mid-Summer Day of Refection. The physical and mental rejuvenation was dearly needed.
As we plow head first into the last three weeks of Catholic Urban Project, it is the perfect time to reflect and realize that our true rejuvenation comes every day at Mass in the Eucharist. Naps can only do so much physically, but Jesus in the Eucharist can heal us mind, body, and soul. "Listen; there are two things the devil is deadly afraid of: fervent Communions and frequent visits to the Blessed Sacrament." -St. John Bosco.
Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever
-Anthony Smela
