Retreat With the Mystics,  9-16 July 2005

Led by Jean Khoury

____________________________________

 

 

Based on St John, St Paul, St. Augustine, Theresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Grignon de Montfort and Therese of Lisieux - An opportunity to trace the mystical journey toward union with God and show how the message of the mystics is very modern and can nourish our daily lives.

 

"Therefore,

I will allure her,

and I will lead her into the desert,

and speak to her heart."

(Hosea 2,14)

In the Upper Room,

gathered with Mary,

we are waiting to receive

the Promise of Jesus.

 

Let nothing disturb you

Let nothing dismay you

All things pass,

God never changes.

Patience attains

All that it strives for.

He who has God

Finds he lacks nothing

God alone suffices.

(Theresa of Avila)
