Just recently I visited the town of Ave Maria in Southwest Florida.....I always go there when in Florida and spend some time in prayer in their beautiful Church-the Ave Maria Parish Church and have lunch in their town center, with family and friends. Last time I was there a couple of weeks ago there was a huge fair going on with music and booths with crafts and other things for sale, around the town center. There is a well stocked religious article gift shop in town as well. But in any event I thought of Ave Maria this morning when I was sent an article about a religious revival that spontaneously started at Asbury University in Kentucky with a chapel service. It is still going go. Since the chapel service began thousands of people (some traveling from far away) have descended on Asbury University's auditorium to take part in the outpouring of prayer and worship that is taking place. You can find links to it on Twitter and on Youtube.
So I thought....why not have one at Ave Maria in Naples Florida?......There are lots of young Catholics who attend the University in the town and the nearby law school. There are also lots of young people living in the large community with their families. But that is something that would appeal to all age groups. And of course, if you started a revival and had praise and worship music and prayer, the Holy Spirit would show up....I have no doubt about that!
Keep the revival of faith and worship going......in other places, in other university's...
