God is not failing us when we don’t feel his presence. Let’s not say: God doesn’t do what I pray for so much, and therefore I don’t pray anymore. God exists, and he exists even more, the farther you feel from him. God is closer to you when you think he is farther away and doesn’t hear you. When you feel the anguished desire for God to come near because you don’t feel him present, then God is very close to your anguish.Oscar Romero, The Violence of Love

Our blog will be updated with readings, news articles, and event notifications for our group. Please join us as we walk together on the road towards recovery and healing.
