Walking with the Psalms
How the 150 psalms of the Bible can lead us to God
The tradition of prayer in the Bible
The Psalms form one of the best-known and most prayed books of the Bible.
At once poetry, a cry of the heart, meditation, and song, they express every human emotion in a direct and sometimes deeply moving relationship with God.
This 6-day retreat is a privileged time to listen to God, in silence, with 2 to 3 teachings per day led by Mgr de Bucy, Bishop of Agen.
From Sunday, July 26 at 7:00 PM to Saturday, August 1 at 10:00 AM.
