Day And Evening Reflection Programs

Come to this day to pray for yourself and for your loved ones. Fr. Michael will introduce us to variety of ways of praying for healing - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. For as many of the retreatants as time allows, there will be the opportunity for brief individual prayer with members of a prayer team. The day includes a “Healing Mass” and a closing Healing Prayer Service with Eucharistic Adoration.

Jesus promised, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” On this sacred day of reflection, we gather to rest in the assurance of His constant presence. Through Scripture, we will listen for the gentle whisper of His voice. In prayerful silence, we will open our hearts to the Spirit moving within. As we remember moments of grace in our lives, we will recognize the footprints of Christ walking beside us. And in faith-sharing with fellow pilgrims, we will glimpse the face of Jesus in one another.

Come away for a while and be renewed by the quiet beauty of the day—a time to encounter the living Christ who is already here, waiting to meet you in the stillness.

Come and enjoy a relaxing afternoon at Bellarmine, 12 pm - 3 pm. During this unstructured time you can visit your favorite places on the grounds, take a guided tour, chat with a Jesuit, or experience our new prayer labyrinth. Bring family and friends, all ages welcome. Lemonade and cookies will be served.

“No el mucho saber harta y satisface el ánima, sino el sentir y gustar de las cosas internamente” (EE.EE. no. 2)

Te invitamos a participar en una jornada espiritual el día 26 de julio.en la cual aprenderemos y experimentaremos distintos modos de oración, como describe Franz Jalics, SJ en su libro, Manual de Oración. Como nos recuerda San Ignacio en los Ejercicios Espirituales, lo esencial no es el mucho saber, sino el sentir y gustar en el interior. En esta clave queremos ofrecerte un espacio de encuentro profundo y personal con Dios.

El propósito de la jornada es:

Conocer distintos métodos de oración y ponerlos en práctica de forma guiada.

Descubrir la riqueza de vías  que tenemos para acercarnos a Jesús, que está esperándonos siempre con las manos abiertas.

 A lo largo del día combinaremos tiempos de oración personal, pláticas, conversación, adoración eucarística y celebración de la Santa Misa, junto con el sacramento de unción de los enfermos para los que lo deseen.

A Virtual Retreat with Fr. Bill Creed, SJ & co-facilitator Fr. Roger Yaworski, SJ 

The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola have been a powerful and resilient force in shaping Christian life and spirituality. Saint Ignatius Loyola believed that well-designed spiritual exercises can help improve and renew one’s spiritual life just as well-designed physical exercises can help improve and renew one’s physical life.

Louis M. Savary states: “The New Spiritual Exercises: In the Spirit of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin" focuses on the graces and blessings God gives for consciously creating a positive difference in our world. They are based on the scriptural revelation that God has a great project going on - much more than keeping souls from falling into sin and hell - and that we are all invited to become fully and actively involved in this divine project…In The New Spiritual Exercises you are invited to become a co-creator with God with the divine vision formulated by Jesus: 'That all may be one' (John 17:21).”

Note: Retreatants are encouraged to arrange regular spiritual direction independently to support this journey.

Growing our Gratitude through The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life

will be offered online from January 15 to June 25, 2027, through Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House. St Ignatius thought that ingratitude is the most detested sin which leads to all other evils. Melody Beattie wrote: Gratitude turns a house into a home, a meal into a feast, a mistake into an opportunity. Brother David Steindl-Rast called gratitude the path to world peace because if you are grateful, you are not fearful, you are not violent. Fr. Bill Creed, SJ has noted that when we look into the face of our enemy with gratitude in our hearts, we see our sister and our brother. Gratitude is personal, interpersonal, social and systemic.

Note: Retreatants are encouraged to arrange regular spiritual direction independently to support this journey.

"Tener los mismos sentimientos y pensamientos de Cristo" (Filipenses 2.5)
Le invitamos a participar en una jornada espiritual en la cual aprenderemos a revestirnos del corazón de Jesús en el mundo actual en que vivimos. Como Iglesia, acabamos de celebrar la Fiesta del Corazón de Jesús, pero somos conscientes de que ahora nos toca reproducir la manera de ver, sentir, juzgar y actuar de Jesús en un mundo que, al menos en muchas ocasiones, no concuerda con el modo de ser de Jesús. El propósito de este día de oración y reflexión es: ayudarnos a discernir esta situación y pensar nuestro modo de responder pero con los ojos y el corazón de Cristo.

 
El día combinará tiempo de oración, pláticas, almuerzo y conversación, adoración y misa, junto con el sacramento de sanación.
