Weekend Silent Retreat Theme: Holy Ground – Seeing the Sacred in the Everyday
Our day is often busy or restless. Even a few minutes each day of reflection or an annual retreat awakens us to God’s presence in our lives. As Jesus promises, “And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matt. 28:20) God pitches a tent, dwells within us and among us.
