On Day 2 of this retreat, Fr. Michael began by proclaiming with clarity that every Catholic is called to a godly repentance not a worldly repentance. "For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation. It brings no regret but worldly grief produces death. (2 Corinthians 7:10)"

"Fruitful retreats will save lives. Successful retreats will count numbers. That is the same with our lives as well. We are called to be fruitful people. Where I am planted by the Lord; Where I am permitted to be by the Lord, that is where I will bear fruit because the Lord's Hand is upon me. I might not be healthy; I might not be wealthy; I might not be successful - but I will be fruitful."

"The Lord is your blessing. He will provide you enough."

"Never be a stealer of blessings. What is needed for me, the Lord will give me."
