Dear Child of God,
May the peace of Christ reign in your heart. This is an invitation to attend a Women with Cancer: Spiritual Exercises Silent Retreat this fall at Our Lady of Corpus Christi Retreat Center. We hope that 22 women from across the United States will make this retreat to grow in faith and love of God and to experience His Healing Grace. We encourage you to consider joining us for this year’s retreat Thursday September 17 through Sunday September 20 of 2015.
Our Lady of Corpus Christi offers you a place of peace, of silence and of prayer. Our Lady’s Retreat House is equipped with 22 private rooms with private bathrooms. While on retreat, you may want to spend time with the Lord in our quiet and intimate chapel in Our Lady’s Retreat House or take a short walk to our Perpetual Adoration Chapel, “the Blue Dome”, where our Lord is exposed in the Blessed Sacrament 24 hours a day. Our Lady of Corpus Christi has 60 acres of grounds to explore, and a peaceful meditation garden to immerse yourself in God’s Creation; to rest, reflect and pray.
Except for participating in Mass, talks and other events, at Our Lady of Corpus Christi you experience the beauty of silence. There is plenty of free time to rest, relax and listen to the Voice of God speaking to your heart, through silence. There are no TV’s, telephones, or any other type of media to distract us from our Creator. You are asked to set aside all your thoughts related to your job, your family, and anything else that would prevent you from opening yourself up to Jesus.
Mass is offered each day, and priests are available for confession and spiritual direction throughout the retreat. The talks presented throughout the weekend will be based in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, but will have an emphasis on healing for women with cancer. The retreat will be led by Sr. Anne Marie Walsh, SOLT, a religious sister of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity. Sr. Anne Marie is a breast and women’s cancer survivor three times over and has experienced first hand a woman's struggle with cancer, and the Healing Grace of God. Three excellent, home cooked meals are served each day and ample snacks provided for time in between.
The Women with Cancer: Spiritual Exercises Silent Retreat can be a powerful, life changing experience. When we open ourselves up to God’s grace, His generosity will astound us. He longs to pour his love, peace and joy into our souls! This retreat is an opportunity to relax and renew your mind, body and soul, and go deeper in your relationship with God.
