Novitiate interlude.

Being back in the novitiate after more than four months away can be very disorienting, a bit like traveling from sea level to an elevation of over ten thousand feet in one day (and I'll find out what that's like in Peru). After a couple days getting somewhat reacclimated to Loyola House, getting reacquainted with one another and getting to know the tertians, my fellow secundi and I leave this afternoon for an eight-day silent retreat at the Colombiere Center. Your prayers for us and our directors are greatly appreciated. Hopefully, I'll have a report when I get back - and hopefully I'll be a bit less disoriented. AMDG.
