SUMMARY:Life-Giving Wounds: Ministry 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.

SUMMARY:Finding Jesus as Martha and Mary - Women's Silent Retreat

Martha... you are anxious and upset about many things... \nMary has chosen the better part and it shall not be taken from her." [Luke 10:38--42] Women in our sophisticated society are pulled in many directions and across multiple "vocational lines"... Wives\, Mothers\, Professionals\, Students\, School Teachers\, Homeschooling Moms... etc. etc. etc.  There is an overwhelming temptation to become "busy"; lost in manic multitasking\, with the tendency to define yourselves by what you do (rather than who and what you are!). \nFather John Riley\, Spiritual Director of the Arlington Diocese's San Damiano Retreat Center\, will lead us in this silent retreat with daily Mass\, Confessions... and conferences and considerations of how to find a place for prayer in your own life with the wisdom of two of Jesus' closest friends:  Martha and Mary. \nWhen: October 16 - 6:00 pm to October 18 - 12:00 pm \nCost: $299 \nFind additional information and register.

SUMMARY:Finding Christ in the Night with St. John of the Cross - Women's Silent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Finding Christ in the Night with St. John of the Cross\nWomen's Silent Retreat\n \n  \nOur Lord once said\, "Whoever wishes to be My follower must deny his very self\, take up his cross daily\, and follow Me" (Luke 9:23).  Many of us avoid the Cross at all costs.  We hear [and fear] the idea of a "Dark Night of the Soul."  But if we are to be true friends of Jesus\, we must be willing to follow Him into the darkness of Gethsemane and on to His Cross at Calvary.  St. John counsels us not merely to endure the Cross... but shows us how to embrace it with courage and joy ...and by God's Grace\, to be "perfected as our Heavenly Father is Perfect." (Matthew 5:48). \nThis "Advanced -- '301' Retreat" would be most beneficial for women who are seeking Jesus faithfully in daily meditation and calm quiet contemplation\, who are noticing certain difficulties and drynesses in prayer... and who are ever more aware of the Presence of the Cross in their lives. \nFr. John Riley will lead and serve in this endeavor. \n  \nWhen: October 30 - 6:00 pm to November 1 - 12:00 pm \nCost: $299 \nFind additional information and register.
