Rediscovering the Bible before celebrating Christmas

11 – December 13, 2026 Notre-Dame de Sainte-Garde Vaucluse 60 places
48 hours with Scripture

May the Bible be my rest…

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Ps 118:105).

How true this verse of the psalm rings, and how much we need to (re)place ourselves at the school of Scripture! A few days before Christmas and at the close of our year, we will take time to listen to the Lord.
We will let him lean over us and teach us.

Programme

A balanced and peaceful rhythm in the heart of Provence:

  • Two teachings are given each day by Father Jean-Louis Guérin-Boutaud, a priest of Notre-Dame de Vie.

  • Mass gathers us at the heart of the day, along with Lauds in the morning and Vespers in the evening.

  • Priests are available for the sacrament of reconciliation, and couples and consecrated persons are on hand to welcome and listen.

  • The program allows time to pray, to read and meditate, to rest, and to walk in a peaceful setting.

  • The retreat is held in silence, except during the first and last meals.
