Description of Lenten Retreat 2024
Lenten Retreat 2024 - Jesus: Companion in Our Suffering March 11, 2024
This retreat serves as a prayerful guide to bring the suffering we see and experience to Jesus. We are comforted as we put our cares upon Jesus and walk with Him to the cross. In Christ's humanity we find solace in a shared experience of suffering and in exploring how the offering of grace from our God allows us to bear witness to Christ's divinity. Time is spent through his retreat in a variety of contemplative prayer methodsand leaning on the third week of the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius. Through a careful examination of Scripture, we come to understand that Jesus is our companion who is here for us, hears our cries, understands our pain, and provides a path for healing and peace. Faculty and staff will be offered time in silent reflection for prayer as well as sharing as a group.
