On-line Retreat
What is an on-line retreat?
A retreat is always a time to get away from our daily routine and take some
special time for ourselves and to spend some time with God and deepening our
faith life. Although it is nice to be able to go away for a retreat, this isn’t
always possible. The on-line retreat is designed for people who want to make a
retreat but aren’t able to get away. You can make this retreat without leaving
your home or office.
How does an on-line retreat work?
The retreat requires a regular commitment of time on your part. It works best
if you set aside a certain amount of time everyday to read the input for that
day and to do the suggested exercises and reflections. Many people find it
helpful to keep a retreat journal during this time.
How much time does an on-line retreat require?
You can set the time to meet your own needs and circumstances, but try to
allocate at least an hour a day. It may be helpful to have half an hour in the
morning and half an hour in the evening. The retreat
is intended to be flexible to meet your unique needs. You can do one
section a day, several sections a day or take several days to do each
section. It is up to you.
Can I do this with a group?
Absolutely! You may want to do this retreat with a small faith sharing group.
You can set a regular time to get together with others to share your experience
with this retreat. If you meet regularly with a spiritual director the insights
of this retreat may be a good topic for your meetings.
