God's
Delightful Voice ~ A Benedictine Spirituality On-line Retreat
|
Benedict of Nursia. Iconography by
Sr. Carolyn Miguel |
Retreat Overview
We
live in a time when people seem to be “discovering” spirituality.
In an increasingly busy, shallow and materialistic society many of
us are recognizing our need for God and our desire to grow in holiness.
Books, courses and web sites abound and assure us that we can fill
our deep, often inarticulate desire for something more, something beyond
ourselves. This plethora of
resources gives us innumerable answers for how to fill the God- shaped
hole in our lives. This retreat is organized into eight parts,
plus suggested reading. Get started by clicking on Part 1.
