Advent is a time of waiting, of making space, listening deeply and becoming attentive to the ways God is drawing near. This retreat is an invitation to discover the inner peace that grows through a deeper friendship with Jesus.
This First Spiritual Exercises Retreat is a five-week free retreat in daily life. For one morning a week, you will be guided through a contemplative prayer exercise, journal in a Listening Book, and participate in spiritual conversation. You then pray at home with prepared exercises, journal your experiences of your prayer time, and return each week to share those experiences by way of Sacred Listening and Spiritual Conversation.
- Week 1: Introduction to Ignatian Spirituality & Progress through Jesus, A Friend for Creation
- Week 2: Jesus, a Friend for Everyday
- Week 3: Jesus, a Friend for Every Time.
- Week 4: Jesus, a Friend for Life
- Week 5: Sharing of graces and resources for continuing reflection.
