The Spiritual Exercises are a profound experience of faith that leaves a mark on the person who goes through them doing them, following the Ignatian method. They are the best means to begin a serious and effective true spiritual transformation.
There will be several meditations throughout the day, daily Mass, and other devotions. There will also be plenty of personal time for spiritual reading and journaling. During the retreat we will have the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
In an atmosphere of deep and prayerful silence, the soul is better prepared to discern the voice of the Lord and recognize the action of the Holy Spirit. The retreat begins at 8:00 p.m. on Friday and concludes at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.
The Crusaders of Mary is a Secular Institute of pontifical right founded by the Spanish Jesuit priest Venerable Tomás Morales Pérez S. J. A Secular Institute is a form of consecration to God in the Church by taking the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. The Crusaders of Mary, as spouses of Christ, live together as a family, having everything in common and sharing a style of life and prayer. They don’t wear a habit and work in different career fields.
Consecrated in the midst of the world and living the spirituality of contemplatives in action as imitation of Our Lady in the family of Nazareth, they participate actively in the evangelization mission of the Church. Their spirituality is born from the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius and the rich contemplative life that flows from the Carmelites. Their mission is oriented to evangelize secular realities such as education, culture, and work. Specific to their ministry is the apostolate of formation, accompaniment, and spiritual direction of young women.
