Dear Fellow Pilgrim of Hope,
Thank you for answering a call to go on retreat, to "come away to a quiet place and rest awhile" (Mk 6:31).
Listen to the following short reflection from David Steindl-Rast and the audio recording from Henri Nouwen below then reflect on the prompting questions that follow.
Questions for reflection:
What do you hope or wish to happen on the retreat?
Does what you hope or wish for leave room for surprise?
What strikes you about David Steindl-Rast or Henri Nouwen’s understanding of hope? How so?
