St. John Paul II once said that at the origin of all that exists, of all the created world, lies “not so much a great mind, as a great heart.” This Heart from which all of creation springs forth into being is the same source from which flows all that is Beautiful. This center of Beauty, this Heart of Beauty, is what anyone who has heard the summons to create, no matter what form that may take, has experienced — even if they couldn’t name it.
On May 9-11th, 2025 at the Loyola Jesuit Center in Morristown, NJ, we held our annual retreat for artists.
This year our speakers included: Fr. Malachy Napier, CFR, Fr. Isaac Spinharney, CFR, Sr. Tirzah Mariae, S.V., Br. Damiano Pio, CFR, Fr. Samuel Bellafiore, and Samantha D’Agostino.
