Come and find the quiet center in the crowded
life we lead, find the room for hope to enter,
find the frame where we are freed: Clear the chaos and the clutter, clear our eyes that we
can see all the things that really matter, be at peace, and simply be.

Oblate/Sisters Retreat
S. Mary Weidner, OSB, St. Benedict Monastery.
The seventh gift of the Holy Spirit is sometimes described as “wonder and awe in God’s presence.” Yet God’s presence is often hard to recognize in a world burdened with wars and violence, natural disasters and a troubled economy. In this retreat we will be invited to take a deeper look at our world and to stand in amazement on the “holy ground” of our everyday lives. |
