Five-week retreats invite you to daily prayer and reflection in the Ignatian tradition. Each week retreatants hear brief presentations on prayer topics, share in large and small groups, and practice prayer together.  Weekly group meetings allow you to share your prayer experiences and better recognize God’s action in your prayer and life. Retreat directors offer input on prayer, development of one’s spiritual life, and daily prayer exercises. 

Common to every human being is deep longing and desire. To uncover the deepest longings and most authentic desires of human beings is to recognize a call to conversion, compassion, consolation and community, with Christ at the center of the experience.  This year’s retreats explore these dynamics through the lens of Ignatian spirituality.                                                               

5-Week Retreat: Christ: The Center of Our Desires

Saint Ignatius believed that every person’s deepest desire was to be known and loved by God and to know and love God.Ignatius also, encouraged the person to look within and share with God what they most truly wanted. Some questions arise from those propositions: How does a person share with God the desires they have?  Does God care about that?  How do they come to know what they most truly want? Can a person honestly talk with God about their longings?  Prayer allows us to reach into our center to discover God’s desires for us. In this retreat we engage with the dynamics of conversion working in the center of who we most truly are, the place where we encounter the One who knows and loves us.
