  • Retreating with Brother Mickey Mcgrath Osfs
    Retreating with Brother Mickey McGrath osfs By Bob Kloos, Cleveland OH The annual Faith and Sharing retreat in Cleveland last July hosted more than eighty pilgrims from near and far. We managed to squeeze all our presentations, activities, prayer, and Katimavik into the Pilla Center in the heart of the Ursuline College campus on Cleveland’s east side. Brother Mickey has been an artist all his life, but he did not fully devote his time and energy to the canvas until his mid-thirties. Since then, his brush has been moved by the Spirit, and more recently, even the stylus on his iPad has brought saints and sayings to life. Brother Mickey had a great space to work in at Ursuline. A lecture hall that was wider than it was deep had four tiers of seating and two large projection screens on which our animated animator could share his artwork. Hundreds of brightly colored images came to life from his laptop computer. He spoke quickly as he wandered through the lives of Mary of Magdala, Sr. Thea Bowman, and St. Pope John XXIII. He had been drawing and painting each of these holy souls for many years, so his presentations not only marked time in their lives, but revealed transitions in the artist’s own style and color. He was a marvelous storyteller, weaving the spirituality of the Salesian’s founder, Saint Francis de Sales, into each session. He offered loads of helpful suggestions for prayer and appreciating the smallest of blessings. Fifty minutes with Brother Mickey and his selected subjects overflowed with scripture, sayings, laughter, and dozens of brilliantly colored creations on the screens.
