Immersion Experience: Panama
"CAMINANTE, NO HAY CAMINO, SE HACE CAMINO AL ANDAR"
Giggles are made by walking too, apparently. No sooner than passing through security, our energized, giddy seniors planned to discover which was faster: walking on the people mover or running on the regular floor on our way to the gate.
Giggles are made by walking too, apparently. No sooner than passing through security, our energized, giddy seniors planned to discover which was faster: walking on the people mover or running on the regular floor on our way to the gate. The excitement is tangible. Student energy fully loaded. Nervousness? Detected. The first steps of our journey bounce with eager anticipation. A fitting way to enter Lent on a path with students into a Mystery experience with God and each other.
We are exactly where God knows us to be as we enter Lent and this immersion to Panama. Recently, Pope Leo wrote in his Lenten Message:
"Every path towards conversion begins by allowing the word of God to touch our hearts and welcoming it with a docile spirit. There is a relationship between the word, our acceptance of it and the transformation it brings about."
I'm inspired by our seniors' docile spirit, ready for metanoia, a transformation of our hearts in how we encounter the next ten days. My prayer for us this immersion trip and for this Lent is finding God on this path, discovering a deeper joy in the tender presence of God's transcendent love.
So far, joy manifested on a walk to the gate. Each evening, my hope is that our students will describe how their hearts have been touched, whether it be joy, sadness, surprise, exhaustion or whatever else is in store on our path. Docile spirits, welcome.
