3 - Because of FCNB
We are delighted to formally announce the upcoming 100th Anniversary Divine Love Retreat.
We invite you to join us at our 100th Anniversary Retreat in celebrating the beautiful messages that came through James Padgett a century ago—messages from Jesus and Celestials that told us again and again: God’s Divine Love is freely available to each of us for the asking.
For those familiar with the Padgett messages, there is something in these messages that has truly touched them; something that has actually changed their lives.
And for those among us who have not yet read the Padgett messages—but who do know about the possibility of praying for Divine Love—they, too, are moved and affected in ways hard to describe.
Now that we each know about this, we—each in our own individual lives—are yearning to feel the immediacy of Divine Love—during our private prayers, in our relationships, and in the ordinary moments of our lives. We want to feel it here, now, loud-and-clear. We want to feel its immediacy.
Again and again, we find ourselves distracted by stress or conflict—for moments, hours, even for long stretches. Then we turn back to prayer, and seek that immediate, newly-fresh sense of the Love, here, with us.
And, with our Father’s ever-present Love for us, we somehow find our way back to the Love.
And we find—over and over—that life’s daily challenges give us many opportunities to recommit and to find a deeper and deeper connection to Divine Love.
Coming to pray together and to listen in a heartfelt way to other seekers of Divine Love is one way we seek to strengthen our commitment, and to feel a greater immediacy of that Love.
I welcome you to join us for this precious time together, supporting one another as we turn more fervently to our Father, as we create a safe and sacred space in which we can seek an ever greater opening of our souls and an ever greater abundance of His great Love into our souls. This is also a wonderful opportunity to renew old friendships and make new ones.
And so the invitation was sent out. Hundreds responded but many could not come. But 48 individuals did make the trip to Washington, DC, to Chevy Chase in Maryland, 12 miles from the Reagan International Airport.
