Emphasis Preaching Journal

During the first meeting with her director for a weekend retreat, a young woman received but a single question on which to meditate. "Where have you met the risen Christ?" The director cautioned the young woman not to race too quickly towards an answer, nor to be discouraged if at first no response came to mind. She should approach the matter prayerfully. In time a variety of answers might arise. She should, in quiet reflection, dwell on each of these. At last she should write down her answer and bring it to the meeting with her director the following morning.
