A New Beginning


We had our West Coast Beginning Day last week, using The Unknown Citizen by W.H. Auden. It was amazing.

Rose, Brian and Margie gave testimonies that were beautiful. I was really struck by Rose who said, "Is he free, is he happy? This question for us is not absurd. I want to ask this all of the time." And from Brian, we heard about the life of a graduate student, knowing where this grace is from, but not being able to see the faces that show him Christ all of the time. Margie spoke about her life in the last three years, and she said how this place is the only place for her to live.

Damian gave us a quick synopsis on dualism and nihilism and how the first leads to the second, yet it's impossible for a man not to be a dualist. Society doesn't allow it. Instead, Fr. Giussani gave us this method to follow, he left it to us, so that we may see how our live involves all of reality.

Anyway, here are some pictures of the day...i hope you enjoy them...
