Intergenerational Service: The Importance of Renewal

“To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to violence. The frenzy of our activism neutralizes our work for peace. It destroys our own inner capacity for peace. It destroys the fruitfulness of our own work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful.” –Thomas Merton

This Sunday we will look at the importance of Renewal and we will have a presentation by David Rivera about his Renewal project, The Hood Squad.
