Praying our Stories: Writing Your Own Rosary
A Day of Reflection for Adults
Summary
Since the thirteenth century, the Rosary has been a means of praying the Mysteries of Mary’s and Jesus’ lives. What has defined these particular events as Mysteries is how God was present and active in these moments, and praying them becomes a way of remembering that divine involvement. Our own stories as well contain events marked in our experiences and memories as times of God’s presence. We invite you in this Day of Reflection to identify, explore and pray on the mysteries in your own life, and how they can become for you a tool for deepening your relationship with God.
Description
A day or evening of reflection, grounded in the Jesuit tradition, is a shorter version of the Ignatian Weekend Retreat. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, a day or evening program is sure to give you the peace and serenity needed to be still and to rest in God's loving embrace.
Your day or evening of reflection includes thematic talks from our skilled Retreat Leaders, time for private prayer, celebration of Mass and a meal.
