“Some of the Many Ways to Pray”
The Spiritual Exercises are centered on the person of Jesus Christ; so every talk is at heart about our relationship with Jesus. To better understand this relationship, St. Ignatius of Loyola counsels us to pay attention to the various “spirits” that move us so that we may judge whether these spirits are leading us toward Christ or away from him. This process mirrors toward Christ or away from him. This process mirrors, in a way, our Catholic Mass. At Mass, we first look at ourselves and admit our need for salvation by examining what we need salvation from. Then we attend to the word of God in order to hear what we receive salvation for.

Legends of the Soul: Stories of Transformation on the Journey of Faith
Conversion is a personal experience that leads us to community. The movement of transformation beckons us to believe and accept our identity as the beloved God. For most of us, conversion is not one, brief, blinding moment that changes our life forever, but rather a slow, maturing process that takes place over time as we learn a new language found in the whisper and wisdom of our God – the language of the soul. This retreat reflects how the life of faith is a sojourn of the soul. During this retreat, this rest stop for our soul, we will explore our stories of our faith and seek to see how they connect and re-connect us to the stories of our lives.(Friday - Sunday)
