SUMMARY:Life-Giving Wounds: Ministry for Adult Children of Divorce

Dealing with our parents' divorce is not easy\, but confronting this wound with faith can allow us to find great healing. We hope that you will become part of our supportive community and receive the many graces available through this ministry. \nHealing Retreat \nAttending the three-day retreat is a great way to start this journey of healing. The retreat focuses on discovering our identity as children of God\, although it also focuses on overcoming the effects of parental divorce\, forgiving our parents\, and connecting with others from this background. The weekend includes presentations\, small group sharing\, adoration\, spiritual direction\, and Mass. This three-day retreat is the centerpiece of this ministry. \nSave the date! The 2025 Arlington retreat will take place from Friday\, Sept. 11 to Sunday\, Sept. 13\, 2026 at San Damiano Retreat Center in White Post\, Virginia.

If you are not already working through this wound with someone\, we would encourage you to consider it. If you would like a recommendation\, please give us a call.\n\nIf you are unable to attend the retreat in Arlington\, please visit the Life-Giving Wounds national website for retreats and resources in other cities/states: www.lifegivingwounds.org. \nFor inquiries\, please contact (703) 841-2550 or email familylife@arlingtondiocese.org \n\nOn-Going Support \nOnce or twice a year\, we offer a free support group or book club to provide on-going help for adult children of divorce.

SUMMARY:Finding Jesus with St. Teresa of Avila - Women's Silent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Finding Jesus with St. Teresa of Avila\nWomen's Silent Retreat\n  \n \nAfter seeking Jesus with St. Therese of Lisieux and cultivating the practice of daily quiet contemplative prayer\, the next step for many who wish to walk along the Way of Perfection is to make the acquaintance of "Big" Teresa -- St. Teresa of Avila.  Our objective is to help you find the courage to persist in the practice of prayer -- however challenging this may be. \nIn this advanced "201" Retreat\, Father John Riley\, Spiritual Director of the Arlington Diocese's San Damiano Retreat Center will consider how to face and overcome difficulties in prayer -- with a little wisdom from St. Thérèse of Lisieux -- and with her counsel in mind we will seek to embrace and understand the writings and the wisdom of "Big Teresa". \nSt. Teresa of Avila started strong on the Way of Perfection\, but then gave up the practice of quiet daily prayer.  For twenty years she settled for mediocrity until Jesus called her back to the deeper relationship that can only be realized in "intimate sharing between friends who take time frequently to be alone with Him Who we know loves us." \n  \nWhen: September 18 - 6:00 pm to September 20 - 12:00 pm \nCost: $299 \nFind additional information and register.
