We are very blessed to be able to share with you some of the talks from this year's Entering Canaan Mercy Retreat, "Lord have mercy on me a sinner."

Please note that the Entering Canaan Mercy Retreats are for those who have been participating in the healing journey for some time and are seeking not only continued growth in healing but also in their spiritual life. The Mercy Retreat is not for those just beginning  their healing journey to Canaan.

We are very grateful to Father Francis Mary Roaldi, CFR, Novice Master of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, for directing this years retreat. We are happy to be able to share his talks with you here. Each of these talks was in response to a woman's talk but can be listened to individually. I have no doubt they will bring great fruits on their own.

Luke 18:10-14

10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people -- robbers, evildoers, adulterers -- or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'

13 But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'"

I have also attached the homilies from both Saturday: Joseph the Worker and Sunday: The Vine and the Branches.
