Using Romans 13:12 as a point of departure, Fr. Joseph Farrell will begin by reflecting on those things that are actually “good" to throw away and how we sometimes “throw away” what is good. Since, Romans 13:12 was also linked with St. Augustine's Tolle Lege moment before his conversion in the Garden in Milan, the retreat will draw on some of the riches of Augustinian spirituality to consider some remedies for a Throw-Away Culture. The weekend will include moments of liturgical and private prayer, presentations, discussions, and the opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Rev. Joseph Farrell, OSA is the Vicar General for the Order of St. Augustine.
