Talks from the Recent SOLT American Assembly


A SOLT Assembly is a time of intense communion. This past American Assembly, congregated in Corpus Christi, Texas, July 10-16, and was marked by the death of one of our most beloved priests, Fr Michael Jordan, SOLT. Passing through the Paschal Mystery of the Lord, mingling tears with him who weeps when we do (Jn 11:35), our community mourned Fr Mike's death as a religious family and felt the consolation of the Holy Spirit. Fr Mike's example reminds all of us of the core mystery of the blessed and heavenly communion of the Trinity through Our Lady: divine charity lived out in a practical commitment to serve our brothers in sisters with true joy and generosity.
