How FOCUS impacted his life:

“FOCUS has first impacted my life in teaching me how to pray.  During summer training we were taught the same way of mental prayer as shared by St. Teresa of Avila and St. Ignatius to their postulants.  I had been a daily communicant for six years prior that first summer training and had never learned to prepare for intimate communion with God.  This pattern could have continued the rest of my life!  The second most important thing I learned in FOCUS was to strive for holiness at all times.  Little did I know that Jesus Christ assumes our humanity and makes the man fully alive who seeks the glory of God always.” ~Dave Nix
