Six-day Silent Guided Retreat

Gathering Up the BLESSINGS of My Life

Tuesday, May 1, 7:30 p.m. to Tuesday, May 8, 9: 00 a.m.

 The word “Blessing” has its origin in the Latin meaning,  “to speak well of something”.  This retreat is a series of reflections to speak well of life from its origin with God through its journey back to God.  The symbol of  a “gathering basket” reflects gathering together life’s blessings as a way to recognize their abundance.  The “heart” reflects the center of our life and the place where blessings are encountered and stored in memory.  The reflections are rooted in Scripture and in our personal experience of blessings in our lives.
