Imagine a weekend centered entirely around yourself and your personal, spiritual needs. Imagine peaceful surroundings, good, nutritious meals, a comfortable room, chapels and prayer rooms at your disposition, and an experienced spiritual director available to journey with you as you explore your faith and your relationship to the Lord. Imagine a silence fostered by all in which you are enabled at last to hear the still voice of God speaking in your heart of hearts. You have just imagined a directed retreat as given by Montreal Directed Retreats. As a retreatant, you come to the retreat centre with your own life issues and your personal spiritual needs. As directors, we come without any pre-determined theme or structure, basing the entire experience upon your present needs. In a directed (or personalized) retreat, the director is there only as a help to fostering that deep inner dialogue between you and your Creator that is the touchstone of our lives. When you come away from a directed retreat, you are renewed, refreshed and rested. And you are aware of the grace-filled touch of the Lord, for God uses this special time of retreat to give us "whatever we ask for in faith". Here are the testimonies of past retreatants: "The silence, the peace became stillness and I became open to Christ." "I find myself refreshed in mind, body and spirit." "An oasis in the desert." "I received many very special graces this weekend." "It was an excellent time during which with God's help I could seek out, identify and deal with unresolved issues." Perhaps you will be the next to add to these enthusiastic reactions to Montreal Directed Retreats. To register or for more information, contact:
