Zoom recording of Maria's teaching.
When I was 16, my mother, sister, and two close family friends, Judy and Elizabeth, went on an epic road trip from Maryland to the Southwest. We made a stop to visit the Grand Canyon, but our main destination was Glorieta, New Mexico, to a religious retreat center. At a gas station in Texas on the way there, when the man pumping gas asked about our destination, he said, "Oh Glorieta, eh? Are you cussing Baptists or drinking Baptists?" My mother replied, "Neither! We are cussing and drinking Catholics!" We were on our way to a retreat of the Center for Action and Contemplation.
That's the kind of thing we did for vacations.
