Description:
This retreat can be used on a single personal retreat day or over the course of a week in separate sessions. Many people use this retreat over and over again, to help them become more conscious of the presence of the Holy Spirit deep within us.

It pairs well with a book by the same author, A New Look at Grace, which presents in plain English the understanding of grace restored at Vatican II by Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner and others.

Description:
We parish leaders must be the FIRST to deepen our intimacy with Christ. As we invite and summon others to this faith, our own faith is what attracts and guides them. Because of that, this retreat is important for everyone who works in parish ministry, whether paid or volunteer.

The Five Retreat Exercises are inspired by the Ignatian Exercises, and include:

• Sharing Faith
• Your Hunger for God
• Your Need for Healing
• Dying in Christ
• Contemplating Christ
