Thank you for your prayers. I hope you get to go someday – it is such a deepening experience and time with God

Hard to understand why I am surprised each time when God shows up and shows me something new. Thanks for the prayers

My soul longs to go on another one. But it’s just not been the right season yet. I’ll keep doing mini-silent retreats on my own until I can get back to our monastery. Praying for your time away, Jean. I’m treasuring these quotes on silence. My one word for the year is Linger, and this month’s focus is Linger in Silence.

Adding my prayers to those of Denise and Martha!

Those two retreats changed my life. The first one led me to falling in love with Jesus. The second led me to Sister Mary Monstrance and a book. This leads me to ask, why haven’t I done another … now 12 years later?

I have read your book on Spiritual Retreats and enjoyed it so much! I think I will re-read it while you’re on your retreat.
I have not been on a retreat and at this point I am unable but I hope at some time in the future, the LORD will provide that opportunity for me!
Enjoy your quiet time with God as you draw nearer to Him!
