One-day retreat titled, Benedict of Nursia: His Message for Today
In our era of speed and mobility, the message of Saint Benedict sounds like the echo from a distant world: pray and work, seek the right measure of things, stay in the same place. Benedict addresses people who long for fulfillment, to win them to the message of the Gospel. He is a companion to a meaningful life in the here and now. Father Anselm is a Benedictine monk of the Abbey of Muensterschwarzach, Germany, and a spiritual counselor and advisor, sought-after speaker and retreat master, is widely respected for his ability to present classic Christian spirituality in a modern context. His many books, among them, Benedict of Nursia: His Message for Today (Liturgical Press 2006), are becoming international bestsellers (300 titles available and 14 Mill. copies sold worldwide). He will come to us from Germany for this special event.
Presented by Father Anselm Gruen, OSB, Ph.D., the retreat will take place at St. Benedict Center, 4 mi. N. of Schuyler, NE, on Hwy. 15.
Registration begins at 8:30 am. Program: 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Program fee: $ 30. Lunch is available at the Center for $ 8.18 (includes tax), or you may bring your own sack lunch.

Our journey with God involves movement, but it is rarely a straight line. We climb and we fall, rise and sink. When we can embody our spiritual journey with, not only metaphorical words, but with physical movement we use every cell of our being to pray. Through movement and music we will explore how our bodies are sacred space where we co-create with God; forming and transforming ourselves.
