This retreat is feeding both my mind and my spirit, Lynn. It is about Ignatius spiritual exercise but updated for this century. Stretching me a bit but also gifted me with some silence to ponder, time to journal and rest too. Quite a gift.

Some great quotes, Jean! Gotta save a few. Wonderful! Thanks so much. Praying the Lord blesses you with a special touch of His presence at your retreat. You’ll have to tell me about it. 😀

I know these words lifted my sprit too, Martha. It was fun to gather them and ponder their meanings

Help me to pray and gather my thoughts to you, I cannot do it alone.
In me it is dark, but with you there is light;
I am lonely, but you do not desert me;
My courage fails me, but with you there is help;
I am restless, but with you there is peace;
in me there is bitterness, but with you there is patience;
I do not understand your ways, but you know the way for me.
Father in Heaven praise and thanks be to you for the night.

-Dietrich Bonhoeffer, A prayer written in Tegel prison, Berlin

Here’a another prayer quote for your collection: “Nothing can so quickly cancel the frictions of life as prayer” — William McElroy. May you have a blessed and refreshing time at the retreat, Jean!

I’m afraid I can’t choose a favorite from among them. Thank you for sharing this inspiration!
