FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2021 at 7PM – SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2021 at 11AM | OBLATE RENEWAL CENTERWe are all mystics! How can you cultivate the gift of mysticism in your own life?
Mysticism is the natural unfolding of a relationship with God and a gift to all those who are willing to receive it. Four Christian mystics can be particularly helpful in helping us to cultivate our mystical consciousness: Therese of Lisieux, Teresa of Jesus, Catherine of Siena, and Hildegard of Bingen.
Our weekend retreat will use illustrations from the lives and writings of these four mystics, all of them Doctors of the Church, in exploring the themes of:
~ Mutual Love between the Soul and God (“My vocation is Love!”, Therese of Lisieux),
~ Self-Knowledge (“Enter into the cell of self-knowledge”, Catherine of Siena),
~ Becoming the Body of Christ (“All must be cared for, all must be loved”, Teresa of Jesus)
~ Priest, Prophet, Blessing (“the greening of all things” Hildegard of Bingen.)
The retreat will include presentation, individual quiet reflection, presenter suggested spiritual exercises, and time for shared conversation.
