6 Day Guided Retreat on Aging
A retreat for older people, based on the belief that the evening of life is a
season to love the things of God, the people of God and be one in God.
Integrating One's Life in God
It is said that the focus of the first half of life is to learn how to make the outer journey. The task of the second half is embracing the inner journey of the soul. Whether one is just stepping into this stage of life, or is well along its path, the invitation offered is gentle hospitality towards oneself, others and God.
We attend to deepening our intimacy with God in company with Jesus, as we continue, or embark upon this last and greatest stage of our life's journey. This retreat enables us to bring the workshops and seminars on aging and retirement to the deeper level of prayer and relationship.
The format: Meditation; Daily
Input Session; daily meeting with spiritual companion; daily Celebration
of Eucharist; opportunities for individual sacramental Reconciliation
and Anointing. The retreat begins with the 6.00pm meal on the evening
of the first date, followed by a brief introduction and Eucharist. It
usually concludes after 2pm Eucharist on the last date shown.
