Retreat with Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

"Comical, mystical, she's all of it," said one of her convent companions. We might also add: sisterly, kind, demanding, and inspiring. Above all, deeply in love with Jesus. Thérèse is all of this.

What a wonderful experience, then, to let her teach us and renew our Christian life!

The retreat will unfold in an atmosphere of silence and prayer, to foster personal encounter with Christ.

A balanced and peaceful rhythm in the heart of Provence:

• Two talks are given each day by Dorle Merchiers and Father Bernard Minvielle, members 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 consecrated religious to welcome and listen.

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

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