We just finished our class with John Dear, SJ, on "Jesus and the Way of Peace, Hope, and Love." My step-mother, Zita, and I took the class together along with 17 others. John took us on an exciting and insightful journey through the Gospels looking at the nonviolent Jesus who calls us all to be peacemakers as children of God. The class was great. The Ghost Ranch retreat center was wonderful. Once a private ranch and home to Georgia O'Keeffe, and now a Presbyterian retreat center. The landscape is amazing and inspiring. We also had the chance to go to the Christ in the Desert Monastery one afternoon. The painting of Christ is found at the monastery.
