INNER PEACE IN DARKNESS & LIGHT RETREAT
Please click here to read the preparation materials before we begin our retreat on February 23, 2021.
Click on the guided recordings below to pray the prayer exercise for that day.
After each exercise, let 1-2 questions below prompt your reflection and journaling in your Listening Book:
What were the most important things in my prayer?
What were my stronger feelings? What detail gave rise to them?
Has my relationship with the Lord grown? How? Why?
Have I received the grace I asked for? Other insights? Delights?
Have I felt spiritual consolation (drawn towards God) or desolation (drawn away from God) since my prayer time?
Is there an action I wish to take?
