"Entering the heart" Contemplative retreat on March 7-9 2025 At the Carlo Acutis Center with 32 participants.
Deo gratias for a wonderful quiet, smooth and deep retreat following the way of Monastic Lectio Divina with 6 workshops culminating in a candlelight Contemplation session Saturday night.
Through Mark, 1; 12-13 we let ourselves be led by the Spirit in the desert and these 2 verses were enough to feed us for hours.
The russian movie "the island" impacted many retreatants by showing in action the teaching received.
The Monastic life was also experienced by the sung Divine Office, the meals in silence around a common table with a spiritual reading and the simplicity of the 'cells".
"I have never looked at the Word of God so intently. I have been trying other versions of lectio Divina and meditation that are nowhere as deep as what you taught us." a retreatant
