The Retreats are based on Discernment of Spirits – St. Ignatius’ twenty two rules for discerning a calling and understanding God’s will in one’s life. During the one day mostly silent retreat, women will learn tools for making intentional and prayerful life decisions.
Franciscan Sister Jacqueline Spaniola, OSF said “During the retreat I give the rules in increments and then the young women have time to go off in silent prayer. I have questions for them and scriptures for them to really review and pray over, then they write their own thoughts and feelings so they begin to learn if it’s God speaking to them…
Young women have said “If it’s a quiet retreat I will go’ and I think young people in their twenties and early thirties are seeing that they need that quiet that the society is not giving them. They just want some quiet time to really reflect on what God is asking them to do.”
These ‘Three Saints, Two Orders, One Day Retreat’ also offer an opportunity to meet with active and contemplative religious in during a day for quiet and reflection. The Franciscan Sisters and Carmelite Nuns will also gladly take time for questions and answers about St. Francis and Franciscan Saints and St. Therese and Carmelite Saints, and the charism of each congregation.
There is no cost for the retreat but registration is required. The next retreat will be held at Carmel of the Holy Cross Monastery with the Carmelite Nuns in Iron Mountain Michigan on May 13
