A spiritual retreat... in 2023?!

"You are more than a treasure," said St. Josemaría, "you are worth more than the sun itself: you are worth all Christ’s Blood! (…) "

A RETREAT? YES, A RETREAT!

A break in a hectic world. To withdraw from the daily grind. To get away from the daily grind, to get closer to oneself, to God, and to what is essential.

"You are more than a treasure," said St. Josemaría, "you are worth more than the sun itself: you are worth all Christ’s Blood!

How can I fail to take up your soul - pure gold - and place it in the forge, and fashion it with fire and hammer, until that gold nugget is turned into a splendid jewel to offer to my God, to your God?" St. Josemaría, The Forge, Prologue

... until that gold nugget is turned into a splendid jewel…

A special time for polishing and cleaning.

In peace. And tranquility ...

where you take care of yourself, of your soul;

where God takes care of you: it is a one-on-one with Him, and a heart to heart;

where you are taken care of, spiritually and materially

and where the surrounding nature and the view of our great river opens the horizon to you.

Silence is like the doorkeeper of the interior life. St. Josemaría, The Way, 281

... a splendid jewel to offer to my God, to your God

My story. Your story.

This time reserved for God is often the beginning of a renewal in our stories. It is the moment of a conversion, a trigger to come closer to the faith or to decide to nourish ourselves regularly to keep our faith alive or the discovery of the project that God has traced for us: our personal vocation.

It is like discovering the musical score that God has specially composed for us and deciphering it, learning it, in order to bring out all the harmony, all the beauty... and playing it to God, for God.

...take your soul - pure gold - and work it in the forge ...
