· I am very impressed by your insight into the Scripture. I am asking myself like the people who lived with Jesus: "Where did he get this wisdom from"? May the good Lord continue to bless you abundantly always.

 

· Relaxed atmosphere.

Language of the Bible interpreted in words understandable to a common person.

The Content of the readings is explored to the profound levels – to the point that remain as imprinted in the heart.

Always remains the longing for more.

The mysticism of the Old Testament and the New Testament was so far hidden from me. But now, I have gained so much of new insights of this penetrating light.

How wonderful is this "radiant way through Mary" to love God and be fruitful through her.

I am grateful to be affirmed in this daily transformation and the hope that the journey is under the shelter of Mary.

 

· Very inspiring with a fresh approach to ideas and some wonderful new insights for me.

This Retreat has certainly stimulated my desire to work harder on my spiritual life.

Mary's place has "opened" my eyes and it fills me with joy.

"Prayer of the heart" is so uplifting.

 

· Excellent, inspiring and challenging and mysterious.

Too deep for words on occasions.

Greatly appreciated and needs digesting in many long hours and contemplation.

Delightful delivery. Always arresting, and respectful of your audience.

 

· The retreat has been a mine of information about God and Mary. A very learned and well prepared presentation which opened up a new world to me. And, yet, all these "discussions" are in the Bible which I've read almost every day of my life. But, it was only touching the skin. Each day I learned something awesome (and new to me). Lectio Divina will find an hour each morning and the Prayer of the Heart in the evening (not for an hour).

I feel really renewed and refreshed after this week.

 

· "From where did he get all this wisdom"?

Thank you for sharing your profound knowledge and insights so generously, giving us so much of your time, delivering your talks standing and with so much warmth and charm! I have gained so much from this retreat, for which I thank you, and hope to find some good soil (not n°2) in which to enable it to bear fruit. Fruit that will last. I take away so many lessons, new knowledge and insights, which I hope to treasure and make part for my life.

Your graphics are very helpful. Most of all I thank you for giving us our Lady in a new, wonderful light! May she continue to bless you as an instrument to make her better understood and loved.

 

· It will be 56 years on the 6th September since I entered religious life. I feel very much like the labourer who came to the vineyard at the eleventh hour!

A whole new "world" has been opened up for me this week and I am asking God to allow me to live long enough, if that be His Will, so as to enter into this world much more fully and enjoy growing in union with Him in a manner I have never experienced before.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

 

· Good, good, good! Loved it!

Une bouffée d'air frais…

A moment of grace which has helped to set the fire of my heart of what "transformation" really means and how to pray.

A great awareness of the Love of God for me and each human being.

Un moment de "re-focusing" sur l'essentiel and bringing the mystics closer.

 

· The location and spiritual atmosphere for me was personally respectful. Nothing can beat the silence.

This is a breakthrough for me, in my life. My family will be shocked to hear me say to them, like the woman at the well: come and see the man (Jean Khoury) who told me about my spiritual experience and with the light of understanding. Indeed, I physically sat in front of a man who described my spiritual life to me interiorly. I am deepened in my faith. My God has manifested and confirmed his love in such a profound way, or rather encounter to not only me, as an individual, but also to Jean. I love your absence of theological "catch phrases" they were wisely replaced by "live catch phrases". The entire talks you gave brought the whole realisation of God to me, not only a Trinitarian God of fear and awesome wonder but as my eternal friend; One who is still loving me with all my negativities and faults, and calling me back home to Himself in Glory, so I pray and also for you Jean and all Mystics throughout the ages:-

"Our Father, may your will be done in the Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen" "Mary our mother, pray for us."

 

· The best thing I can say is that this retreat was a tremendous gift from God, through you, at this stage of my life. I thank you for sharing yourself, your knowledge, your experience with me. The talks were a joy to listen to; the material so well presented, clear, precise and your English too was tremendous!

Appreciated your willingness to help us individually to spend your time and energy with us.

 

· Thank you so much for a wonderful Retreat.  I have never had such nourishing spiritual food in my entire life and I've made many Retreats.  Now it's up to me to use it but the great thing is that your showed us how!  You made it sound simple! Again, many many thanks and love,

 

· I appreciate so much the depth and spirituality of my Retreat guided by you. Many thanks for the life and energy you put into the Retreat, it was all so helpful.

 

 

· Jean, thanks for the interest you had in us and for your tireless energy.

May God bless you and your ministry.

 

· Jean, a big sincere "Thank you" and thanks to the Lord who has so generously blessed you and through you, us also!

 

· More mystics from time to time please. Thank you, Jean.

 

· Go out to the world; proclaim the good news. Merci bien.

 

· Merci pour tout. Que Dieu et Marie continue à vous choyer!

 

· Please do a second stage. One week Retreat. Thank you.

 

· Take care of you!! Many thanks. I shall keep contact by E-mail and am so grateful for this possibility as much of the retreat was new for me.
