Abundant Life | An Ignatian Silent Directed Retreat
Oblate School of Theology
FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 2022 at 6PM – SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 2022 at 2PM | OBLATE RENEWAL CENTER
“I remember how much God our Lord has done for me, giving me gifts of creation, redemption and particular graces. And now with much feeling I reflect on what I am to offer and give.” ~ St. Ignatius of Loyola
This silent directed retreat is an opportunity to receive personalized spiritual direction throughout the weekend and to have a prayerful encounter with Jesus through Holy Scripture. Your spiritual companion will listen to you and prayerfully give you Scripture passages to pray with. You will also be able to listen to God through nature, rest and silence. A member of the retreat team will contact you in advance to welcome you and ask you to fill out a questionnaire. This will help the retreat team to pray for your and match you with a spiritual director. Mass will be available Saturday and Sunday.
Bring your Bible, journaling materials, comfortable shoes, an alarm clock, overnight necessities, and an open heart.
