Practicing the Presence of God in All Things: A Weekend Retreat back

This retreat is full.  We are not taking any more applications.

Theme: PRACTICING THE PRESENCE OF GOD IN ALL THINGS.  One of the main themes of Christian spirituality from the earliest centuries has been that of staying mindful of God’s presence in our lives.  That may be relatively easy when things are going well, but the great spiritual masters of our tradition assure us of the importance of staying mindful of God’s presence even in times of great difficulty or temptation.  The meditations on this retreat will focus on ways in which such mindfulness can be cultivated.

Leader: James Wiseman is a Benedictine monk at St. Anselm’s Abbey in Washington, DC.  He taught courses in Christian spirituality at Catholic University from 1985 until 2011, when he was elected abbot of his monastery for an eight-year term.  He has long led retreats for religious communities.

For New Community Church.  Others welcome as space permits.
