LIVING  RESISTANCE

Being at the Gift of Tears means taking part in an intentional lifestyle of voluntary poverty, simplicity, service and prayer.  It is a lifestyle which attempts to practice the basic principles set forth in Catholic social teachings: Dignity of the Human Person, Respect for all Life, Association, Participation, Preference for the Poor, Solidarity, Stewardship, Subsidiarity, Equality, Common Good.   By living in this manner, we are resisting the mainstream secular ways that lead us away from our goal, building the Kingdom of God “on earth, as it is in heaven.” 

RETREATS
