Message from Father Gregory J. Hickey Doors
are fascinating. There are many types. Some are wooden, others are made
of fiberglass, some are metal, and others are made of steel. Some are
highly decorated and others are plain. Some doors have windows and
others are solid. We go through many doors in the course of a day and
every time we go through a door, it is different because we are
different. Think
of all the doors you have gone through today and the reasons you have
passed through them. We don’t often think of this concept but behind
every door there is a story. At times, we open doors that we would
prefer to keep locked. There is a beautiful painting that has been made
into a holy card. Jesus is on one side of the door and a human being is
on the other side. What is unique about the painting is that on Jesus’
side there is no door knob but on our side there is a door knob. Jesus
is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We go through Jesus to come to the
Father. We have to open the door to find Jesus. Our Lord will never
invade our sense of time and space or invade our personal space. He
will never take away our free will. I
invite you to come through the “Main Door” or gate on Warren Avenue and
explore not only the many doors you will find at the Malvern Retreat
House, but to ponder the doors in your personal life that may need to
be opened, so you may ponder your life, and resolve some issues in the
silence that Malvern provides each of us. Please
call us at (610) 644-0400 to schedule
that private time with Jesus and open the door that He wants to provide
for you. You may be surprised what lies behind that door. The
summer is a beautiful time of year to schedule a retreat or walk the
grounds. Everything is in bloom and in the silence of the woods and
green trees; Jesus will speak to you in the silence of your heart!
