Fr. Joe Newman, OSFS, on Slowing Down on One's Journey

"There is a split path from the Novitiate house to the chapel. Every day, I would walk the path from the house to the chapel for morning meditation and Mass. If you've ever spent time with me, you would know I am not one to arrive early. I am not chronically late, I am just on time. To mark the beginning of morning meditation, a bell would chime. It was important to be in your chair prior to the ringing of the bell. The path gave me a choice every morning."

In a recent commentary, Father Joe Newman, OSFS, reflected on the importance of slowing down and paying attention to the journey one is on.
