Jenny’s life changed dramatically after a women’s retreat at her parish a few years ago. At first, the differences were subtle: she seemed more willing to listen rather than to immediately judge the actions or motivations of others; her family noticed that she prayed before meals and that she seemed to want to go to Mass each week, and they appreciated her growing patience; co-workers recognized that she respected them and their customers. The changes in her actions drew a few surprised reactions, but mostly, appreciation, and wonder. What had caused these shifts in her behavior? It wasn’t like she was a difficult or mean person before, but now she seemed to be at peace.

Those who remained with Jesus did not allow themselves to stumble on the incredible mystery of God’s love they experienced in Jesus, but rather risked putting their faith in him.
