God's holy desire for humanity was front and center in the Catholic Biblical School's Opening Scripture Day in many ways, but especially in the teaching of Stephen J. Binz, in the preaching of Fr. Michael Dolan, and in the support and assistance of the CBS faculty and staff. A "shout out" goes to Jill Costa and Alexis Chacchia for your unwavering hospitality and guidance!
Perhaps even more evident, though, was the new students' desires for God's holy presence. As we watched their faces and listened to their questions, a deep desire for God was as palpable as the muggy air of a hot New England summer's day. (It's true: our desire for God can trump our desire for comfort!)
