To introduce the St. Martin novena prayers, we have quoted from the writings of the Peruvian saint’s many admirers.

God’s sense of time is different from ours: his ways are not our ways. Don’t worry about beginning a day “late” or if you need to double up the prayers on any given day. God isn’t standing over us with a calendar, ready to scold us if we miss a day. He loves it when we pray. Period.

The Son of God, by becoming flesh, summoned us to the revolution of tenderness.” She joyfully lived this truth, bringing the revolution to everyone she met. She was always ready and eager to meet new people, inviting them with loving arms into this community. Suzanne passed away on December 22, 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efaac1c257c656729cf628a/f454bc0d-8e66-4d9b-8fa1-255211689d45/Rebekah.jpg Our Team - Rebekah Feeley - Head of the Board, Co-Interim Director Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

And it is in free time that gratuitousness truly comes out and affirms itself in an amazing way. The way one prays, one’s faithfulness to prayer, the truth of one’s relationships, one’s self-dedication, enthusiasm, humble approach to reality, emotional involvement and compassion toward things, all this is much more evident during vacation than during the year. On vacation one is free, and if we are free, we do what we want” – Luigi Giussani, “Vacations: The Time of Freedom”
