This weekend offers a time to step aside from our everyday routines to be still in God’s presence. The weekend is underpinned with Ignatian insights into prayer and our relationship with God.
Each person meets twice or three times with a retreat Guide. The rest of the weekend is spent reflecting on one’s own life circumstances in the light of Bible reading. We keep silence from late Friday evening until the Communion service on Sunday, apart from your own times with your retreat guide. We do this to enable everyone to have space to relax and reflect -to meet God in their own way, and at their own pace.
Silence is a way of respecting the “space” of each other.
Silence is also a gift we give to one another and can help us each to discover what God is “singing” to us individually, at this time in our lives.
“The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”
Zeph 3.17
