The Sanctuary works along side faith communities and churches to nourish and sustain the individual and corporate encounter and relationship with the Holy through:
* individual and group spiritual direction
* writing
* retreat leadership
* teaching
* commitment to sustained prayer for the needs of the world
Faith is developed through practices which: deepen prayer and understanding of God, self and others; and support a lifestyle of justice, kindness and humble service.
A basic challenge of Christianity today is education for a transforming relationship with God. There is no lack of love for God in the church. There is lack of understanding of how that love is purified,matured and released through us into the world in redemptive service.
Helping others grow in relationship with Jesus Christ with deepening faith and personal authenticity is the heart of The Sanctuary Foundation.

Thomas Merton: A Mystical Guide for You Who Seek “MORE”
Sheila Carroll, OSF
Merton leads us to a new dimension of prayer urging us to contemplate God by moving deeply into interior prayer. His search for God involved his search for his true selfthe self that God had called him to be. Although the journey is often difficult and tiring, Merton writes, “We will find that, with determination and grace, we can touch and be touched by God, if only for a moment.”
Retreatants are invited for Evening Praise in the Monastery at 5:30 pm on Friday.
Fee: $100 (Deposit $20) Register by March 20. Register online.
Sister Sheila has taught at high school and college level and has served as campus minister at the University of Missouri and the University of Colorado. Her teaching career has taken her to the Indian Missions of South Dakota. For the past ten years she has drawn on her graduate studies of mysticism and prayer of the saints to give retreats and talks on the mystics.
