2 Dear parishioners, This last week an earthquake hit our neighbors to the south, in Oregon. Even if we did not feel it, it still rattles our nerves. Earthquakes are terrifying because they are powerful, deadly and not very predictable. However, our planet has earthquakes every single day. And, the reality is, is that they are healthy and normal for the planet. Our planet is constantly moving, stretching and adjusting itself. This is also what creates our beautiful mountains and waterways which we enjoy having in western Washington. I bring this up because we need spiritual earthquakes in our lives as well. This is when we do something that stretches us to grow in a way that is over a short duration, but is also powerful and transformative. Retreats are like spiritual earthquakes. They are often short, powerful and transformative. So, when was the last time you went on a spiritual retreat? If it has been a while, or maybe never.please consider planning one in the next year. Below are some great resources for finding a good retreat opportunity: (The Palisades retreat center constantly has great retreats being offered throughout the year. It is located in Federal Way, WA.) (Mount Angel Abbey is a wonderful place to do a retreat. They are currently renovating the retreat house and will be back open in January of 2019.) (The Benedictine nuns on Shaw Island also have a great place for a retreat.) I create a complete list of retreat locations later. Blessings, Fr. Peter Queridos Parroquianos Esta semana pasada un terremoto golpeó a nuestros vecinos del sur, en Oregon. Incluso si no lo sentimos, todavía nos asusta y nos da nervios. Los terremotos son terroríficos porque son poderosos, mortales y poco predecibles. Sin embargo, nuestro planeta tiene terremotos todos los días. Y la realidad es que son saludables y normales para el planeta. Nuestro planeta se mueve, se estira y se ajusta constantemente. Esto es también lo que crea nuestras hermosas montañas y cursos de agua que disfrutamos tener en el oeste de Washington. Menciono esto porque también necesitamos terremotos espirituales en nuestras vidas. Esto es cuando hacemos algo que nos estira para crecer de una manera que es de corta duración, pero también es poderoso y transformador. Los retiros son como terremotos espirituales. A menudo son cortos, poderosos y transformadores. Entonces, cuándo fue la última vez que fuiste a un retiro espiritual? Si ha pasado un tiempo, o tal vez nunca... por favor considere planificar uno en el próximo año. A continuación se encuentran algunos recursos excelentes para encontrar una buena oportunidad de retiro: (El centro de retiros Palisades constantemente ofrece excelentes retiros durante todo el año. Se encuentra en Federal Way, WA). (Mount Angel Abbey es un lugar maravilloso para hacer un retiro. Actualmente están renovando la casa de retiros y volverán a estar abiertos en enero de 2019). (Las monjas benedictinas en Shaw Island también tienen un gran lugar para un retiro). Creo una lista completa de lugares de retiro más tarde.) Bendiciones, Padre.
