NOVEMBER 2007

November 2-4
"Marking the All Saints' Passage"
(Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault, author of Centering Prayer, Inner Awakening and other books.)
The "triduum" of days surrounding All Saints comprises a kind of Fall Easter:  an invitation to go deep into the experience of dying to self and rising to life eternal in the Communion of Saints. In this Centering Prayer retreat, we will allow the deep silence of meditation to open our hearts to that within us which already lives beyond death. (The retreat will offer teaching, practice of Centering Prayer, and time for individual silence and prayer.)

November 16-18
The Mystical Body of Christ
(Dom Francis Michael)
In Christ we are united with all peoples throughout the world. He is our bond of unity and peace that opens us up to all.

November 23-25
Vocational Discernment Retreat
(Br. Michael)
Open to single Catholic men, ages 18-55. For some people an experience such as a Vocational Discernment Retreat comes at a point in their life when they have begun to feel — or have felt for some time — an inner pull toward a religious life, or perhaps the monastic way. This can prove to be a trying and confusing time, one in which it is hard to grasp the basic direction in their lives. Vocational Discernment Retreats allow men to come together with others who share a similar focus and who want to listen to God and their own hearts in a prayerful atmosphere of silence, beauty, and peace. We offer these retreats free of charge as a way of helping men to see more clearly both what they want and what God wants for them.

DECEMBER 2007

December 7-9
11th Step Retreat
(Br. Michael, Fr. Gerard & Roberta Oster)
This retreat is open to all — not only people in 12-step recovery programs. The 11th step calls us to seek, through prayer and meditation, to improve our conscious contact with God, praying for knowledge of His will for us, and the power to carry it out. In this retreat, you will learn the ancient tools of Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina. You will also be introduced to imaginative prayer as taught by St. Ignatius of Loyola.

December 14-16
Contemplative Prayer
(Frs. Tom Francis & Gerard & Br. Michael and Jocelyn Lyons)
Learning to Receive the Gift of God’s Presence through Loving Silence in Centering prayer. Traditionally known as contemplative prayer, this Christ-centered practice enables us to rest in God, leading to a more personal relationship with Him.
