Retreats

 

A Retreat with......offers you the opportunity to spend a retreat with some great saint or holy person from history.  Authors and editors weave the mentor's own words into seven sessions of prayer and deepening acquaintance.  The Resource Center offers 5 different titles in the series:

A Retreat with Francis & Clare of Assisi --you will walk in the footsteps of these two saints through Assisi and the Umbrian countryside, focusing on pilgimage and retreat, the going forth and the going within of the soul's journey. 

A Retreat with C.S. Lewis -- Robert F. Morneau weaves excerpts from Lewis's allegories, letters and poems into  seven sessions of prayer and deepening acquaintance, ending with a list of resources to help you continue this relationship.

A Retreat with Mark-- In this retreat, Stephen C. Doyle, O.F.M., acts as interpreter for Mark, helping us to get to know Jesus better and enter more deeply into the mystery of Jesus' love.

A Retreat with Teresa of Avila--Teresa of Avila is a popular and influential saint, and is director for this retreat.  She mastered the art of living lightly and well, and she invites us to profit from one of her outstanding gifts: her ability to live by holy wit.

A Retreat with Henri Nouwen--Drawing from many of Nouwen's dozens of books, this retreat offers readers a chance to confront the dehumanizing aspects of our technological age and reclaim their spiritual heritage as beloved children of God.
