We shall run on the path of God's commandments, our hearts overflowing with the inexpressible delight of love. Rule of Benedict
The Paschal Mystery leaves me grounded in the cycle of life. Life has its incredible joys and its devastating sufferings. Each of us has our unique experiences. The suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus is our Christian story. Jesus embraces our sufferings, and deaths, and offers us the hope of resurrection. Both profound resurrection experiences or little miracles offer us grace and hope. Retreat experiences can assist us with: living this mystery, renewing our connection to the Divine, discovering new graces and blessings in our everyday living, and celebrating the loving power of God in our life.
I invite you to come to Benet House to ignite or re-ignite with the Divine within. A variety of programs for 2019-2020 may offer just what you need in your spiritual journey. I hope you take this opportunity to discover these programs and consider participating in whatever seems engaging to you. Read through until the very end and learn about 2020-2021 programs already scheduled!
