Peace Is Not a Destination
Let me ask you something. What is the best place in the world? For some, it’s that beach you always dream about. For others, a cozy rental house on a family trip, the honeymoon destination, the mountains, a silent retreat, or simply home. That place where you feel like dropping everything and staying forever. And if you’ve never thought like that… maybe you’ve just been traveling to the wrong places.  But let me ask something deeper. Do you really think those places are always peaceful? That there is no chaos, no conflict, no noise, no disorder? Because even when we change the scenery, the human heart remains the same. I have been to truly paradisiacal places. Places that make you ...

Salt of the Earth and Light of the World: The Identity and Mission of the Disciple

The Pontiff recalled that Sacred Scripture is the Word of God written in human language. God does not speak in a distant or unintelligible way, but chooses to communicate with us using human words, so that we may know Him, love Him, and hear Him ...

My ACAMPS experience
My name is Megan, I live on Long Island, and this was my first ACAMPS. I’m actually pretty new to Shalom as well, I just joined about a couple of months ago. I met some of the Shalom community at a beach mass back in August, and they were just so nice and welcoming, more than I had experienced in the past. I felt like I just clicked with them instantly. That night actually was when they told me about ACAMPS and how I should go. Honestly, it was a super spontaneous decision, but later in the month I booked it. I really didn’t know much about it going into it, but I knew I really wanted to grow in ...
