SUMMARY:Lenten Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Busy Person’s Lenten Retreat: Rooting in the Holy\nThursdays\, March 5\, 12\, 19 \n6:30-8:00 p.m.  \nAttend Online \nOur busy world is constantly testing us\, drawing us away from the oasis of God’s love and our true identity. Eventually\, we find our spirits feeling muddled\, tired\, and disoriented. We find it harder and harder to make decisions\, let alone discern with wisdom the way of the Lord in our lives! \nBut God has not left us without resource. \nLent\, the forty days before Easter that the world-wide Christian church observes\, invite us to step back\, breathe deeply\, and return to the source of our identity. \nWe invite you to “come away for a while” (Mk 6:31) – away from the busy and join Jesus in the desert where he roots into his relationship with the Father. That desert clarity is at the heart of Lent–and at the heart of what this retreat offers you.  \nOver two weeks\, you’ll be offered three “oases” of intentional spiritual time – simple\, accessible\, and renewing: \n\nThree Zoom gatherings (Thursdays\, March 5\, 12\, and 19\, 1.5 hours each) where we will learn\, pray\, and reflect together in a variety of ways.\nDaily spiritual practices that you choose and tailor to your schedule.\nOne or two meetings with a Spiritual Director – in person or online – to help you listen for the movement of the Holy Spirit in your life.\n\nIf you’ve been curious about spiritual direction\, this retreat is a gentle and meaningful way to experience it. \nCome away for a while. Come to the quiet of the desert where Christ meets us. \nCome be renewed in your spirit this Lent. \nThe Busy Person Lenten Retreat is a collaboration of the Catholic Information Center and the Dominican Center Marywood. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n
