Preached retreat: Stammering the faith?

A few days of prayer with the Word of God

The Word of God is not a celestial telephone, nor an absolute that falls from the sky, nor a definitively definitive truth.

It is a dialogue, a word sent to someone in the situation where they find themselves.

We will listen to the Gospel to grow in the knowledge and love of God and of humanity.

Retreat preached by Father Raphaël Buyse, a diocesan priest from Lille
