Do you want to meet Jesus?

A spiritual pause to let yourself be encountered by the Lord

This retreat will attempt to provide answers to the great human and spiritual questions, as well as to the challenges of the contemporary world, through lively teachings grounded in the Word of God and in experience. The teachings will be preached by a brother from the community.

For this time of human and spiritual renewal, you will also be supported by an atmosphere of prayer and silence and a carefully prepared liturgy. The life-giving presence of nature, the discreet yet caring attention of the brothers and sisters, who will participate with you in this spiritual retreat, which is also preached for them, and the contemplation of each person, will open you to the mystery of the God of Mercy and Life.

The retreat is open to all types of participants aged 17 and above.

Program:

• One teaching on Saturday afternoon and three on Sunday.
• Celebration of the Vigil of the Resurrection on Saturday evening and Mass on Sunday.
• Opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and/or spiritual guidance.
• Time for rest, meditation and silent prayer.

Meals are shared together with beautiful music in the background.

The Sunday evening meal is a time for sharing.

The community shop will be open on Sunday in early afternoon.
